Here is an article on it:
Washington – In a landmark RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act) lawsuit certain to have far-reaching implications
for the animal rights movement, Feld Entertainment and the Ringling
Brothers circus sued the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS),
its lawyers, and several other animal rights groups last week. The
nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) unearthed the lawsuit in
federal court records today. CCF is making the lawsuit available
online at its newest website, www.HumaneWatch.org.

“America’s farmers, ranchers, hunters, fishermen, research scientists,
fashion designers, and restaurateurs have seen for decades how the
animal rights movement can behave like a mobbed-up racket,” said CCF
Director of Research David Martosko. “But it’s still shocking to see
the evidence laid out on paper. In a treble-damage lawsuit like this,
a jury could actually do the humane thing and finally put HSUS out of
business completely.”

In its February 16 lawsuit, Feld leveled bribery, fraud, obstruction
of justice, and money laundering charges against HSUS and two of its
corporate attorneys; three other animal rights groups; the Washington,
DC law firm of Meyer Glitzenstein & Crystal; and all three of that
firm’s named partners.

On December 30, 2009, Federal Judge Emmitt Sullivan ruled that these
defendants collaborated to pay more than $190,000 to Mr. Tom Rider, a
former Feld employee who was an elephant “barn helper” for two years
in the late 1990s, in exchange for his impeached testimony against
Feld in an earlier lawsuit—testimony Judge Sullivan declared “not
credible” and disregarded in its entirety. That lawsuit was dismissed.

Feld is also suing Mr. Rider, and a nonprofit “Wildlife Advocacy
Project” charity, claiming that Meyer Glitzenstein & Crystal used it
to funnel money from their plaintiff clients to Mr. Rider. These
clients included the Fund for Animals, which merged with HSUS in 2004.

“The new HumaneWatch website is the only place the public will be able
to read this lawsuit,” Martosko added. “We’re publishing a treasure
trove of information about the Humane Society of the United States,
including lots of surprising documents that HSUS would rather remain
hidden from its contributors.”

Last week CCF launched www.HumaneWatch.org, an online watchdog project
dedicated to analyzing HSUS’s activities and keeping the group honest.
It includes a blog, an interactive document library, and a growing
body of information about HSUS-related organizations and staff.

Now this is interesting! I never thought of going after the HSUS from that angle. But now that it is being presented that way............. Ill be following this pretty closley. Thanks for posting this Jusacruzah!
