The ad features a photo of a pig and the caption, "He died for your sins ­ go vegetarian." The organization says its reference to Jesus' crucifixion is meant to generate compassion for animals in the meat-industry. "This appalling ad is not the first time PETA has used crude religious angles to promote its political agenda," said U.S. Sportsmen's Al

liance President Bud Pidgeon. "Last year, the animal rights group launched a campaign that compared the slaughter of animals to the murder of 6 million Jews during World War II." PETA has an entire website, www.jesusveg.com, that includes information about a billboard it created that depicts Mary with a chicken in her arms with the tagline "Go Vegetarian-It's an Immaculate Conception."

Arizona is joining several other states in an effort to protect its citizens by introducing and advancing legislation to punish these violent acts. Senate Bill 1081, sponsored by Sen. Thayer Verschoor, R-Gilbert, adds animal and ecological terror acts to the section of law prohibiting organized crime, fraud and terrorism. The bill defines acts of animal and ecological terrorism to include those that prevent sportsmen

from hunting, fishing and trapping. The bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, 4-3. Arizona has seen the destruction of animal rights terrorism first hand. In fact, The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) claimed credit for a firebombing at a Tucson McDonald's restaurant on September 9, 2001. The ALF made the admission on September 11, a day that will long be remembered for the horrifying terrorist acts that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C. Other related terror attacks include a 1989 arson at a veterans hospital in Tucson, the 1993 destruction of a dump truck construction vehicle and damages in 2002 to a Tucson construction site. Senate Bill 1081 is based on model legislation that was developed by the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance to deal with the growing threat of animal rights and ecological terrorism. The Alliance's draft Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act was adopted as an official model by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a bipartisan membership association promoting individual liberty and limited government. Take Action! Arizona sportsmen should help stop threats by animal rights and ecological terrorists. Contact your senator today and ask for support of SB 1081 to help to stop the rapidly growing threat of animal and ecological terrorism.
