60-70,000 Animal Advocates March in North America

6/11/2019

Almost 30 years ago, on June 10th, 1990, thousands of people turned out for a "March for the Animals" in Washington DC. Interviewed in 2007, Tom Regan, author of the The Case for Animal Rights, the book that kick-started rights-based abolitionist animal rights in the 1980s, estimated that between 60,000 and 70,000 people attended. It remains the largest march that the animal advocacy movement has ever organised.

Tom Regan says that this time was one of "great optimism in the movement" and the 1990 march enabled and ennobled its participants. In 1996, a second "March for the Animals" drew only 3,000 people. Regan declared it "a disaster." One explanation that Regan offers to explain this fall-off within six years was the firming up of the "sharp divide" between animal welfarists and animal rightists.

The Gary Francione countermovement offer the same analysis. See HERE. It seems that the welfare corporations grasped back the initiative in the animal movement. For example, between the two marches, the once radical People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA) began their deradicalisation into a large welfare corporation. In 1992, for example, PeTA's Ingrid Newkirk took the reformist line against the abolitionism of Regan and Francione in a famous Animals' Agenda article - see HERE.

In the 2007 interview, Regan still held a critical view of how the animal movement had developed, saying that the most powerful national organisations had adopted a "corporate business model." He called for the democratisation of the movement away from the dominance of the national groups.

Do pro illegal immigration politicians care about animals? Then they should care that illegal aliens are involved in wildlife trafficking, a $10 billion industry that harms vulnerable animal populations and brings various endangered species closer to extinction. The most commonly trafficked endangered animal seizures into the United States are coral parrots and lizards Of the 4,968 live endangered animal seizures, 257 have been of animal species that face a threat of extinction. What other animals do illegal aliens crossing US border smuggle in? They smuggle in rare breed puppies, kittens, wild jungle cats and kittens torn from the mothers in the wild, sea turtles, baby bobcats, snakes, spider monkeys, praire pups, Iguanas, exotic bats, Toucans, baby Anteaters, Margays, capuchins, armadillos, etc...But yeah, sure, go ahead and support these intelligent Politicans who think there's nothing wrong with illegal immigration. Tell that to the defenseless animals smuggled across the desert or drown in rivers during the journey. Who speaks for them? Do the research into animal trafficking over the US border.

In May 2018, for example, three aliens crossed the border into Texas with a black duffel bag, which they abandoned when they realized there were Border Patrol agents nearby. When agents searched the bag, they discovered an UNCONSCIOUS JAGUAR CUB. Imagine how many other vulnerable animals are smuggled across US borders daily without anyone knowing!! Everyday in the USA, on our borders, it happens. And politicians do nothing about it by doing nothing to stop illegal immigration. Makes no sense, right? Then there's this: According to the New York Daily News a 52 year old illegal immigrant who was supposed to be deported, raped his girlfriend's dog to DEATH. Savor that one pro illegal immigration open border no deportation advocates.
Wanna hear more reality of how wonderful illegal immigration is or do you close your hearts and minds while animals suffer? Mar 20, 2017 - Cockfighting in Detroit leads to arrest of several undocumented immigrants. Oh, it's just their culture, right? We should respect it. Viva illegal cockfighting who cares, we support illegals, right? We let them come here illegally. We encourage their law breaking behavior, so why would they care if they break more laws hurting animals? It gets even crazier: A deported U.S. Marine veteran returned to the U.S. Thursday after 15 years in Mexico thanks to an official pardon by DEMOCRAT Gov. Jerry Brown, prompting the reinstatement of the man’s green card. Why was this Marine, who was not yet a citizen deported? For FELONY animal cruelty. That's why. So good bye and we don't care if you were a Marine. Get out. Yet, Democrats championed his return for "humanitarian purposes." Insane, right? What about the rights of the animal this pos tortured? Oh, who cares, animals don't vote, think liberals gone mad.

Have you ever heard Pelosi give a damn about trafficked animals across US border? Nope. She's so disconnected from cause and effect reality she wouldn't know. Just another barricaded elite grandstanding to media while she lives behind her fenced and gated home with her animals safe and bodyguards proteting her. Living in an ivory tower. Far away from reality. Looking down at the dumb Americans who vote for people like her. The Democrats and Republicans have done nothing to stop illegal immigration. But it's mostly the Democrats who don't want to stop it because the controversy generates votes. How sick is that? This hurts animals. Does Pelosi, AOC or any of these champions of illegal aliens care about these animals? Nope. That's why we need an effective border wall, more mass deportations (to discourage further illegal crossing) and more border patrol officers to stop attempts to cross illegally into USA. The animals are depending on us to do something.

Still more, Illegal aliens throw their trash in the cacti among the desert turtles. Desert Turtles have been exposed to batteries, cell phones, clothes, human food, homemade weapons, human waste, jeans, medications, radios, razors, ropes, soap, and water bottles, according to Daily Star reporter Tony Davis. In short, desert animals and plant life have been trampled and harmed by illegal aliens. But CNN won't show that, right? Fox news doesn't even show it. Who is speaking up for these defenseless animals!? Politicians don't care about the animals involved in illegal immigraiton because animals don't vote. Do your damn jobs politicians! Quit wasting time in front of cameras and manipulating voters with your phony, fake emotional sob stories. Illegal immigration is hurting animals daily.
