Are these Russian secret police or hunt sabs? Either way, they're wrong and the kind of thing we fight in America.
Hunting Harrassment laws make it a crime to harrass hunters (and anglers in many cases), and are in force in every state of the union (even Massachusetts!)

Another law worth knowing about is the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. This law makes it an act of terrorism to wreck research labs, "free" animals from zoos and circuses, and disrupt operations at farms and feedlots. This legislation was supported by the Ameican Veterinary Medical Association and was originally introduced by Sens. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on September 8, 2006. The bill garnered an impressive bipartisan list of cosponsors, and was ultimately passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and a voice vote in the House and was signed into law by President Bush on November 27, 2006.
What kind of animal rights tactics prompted this law? Congressman Tom Petri of Wisconsin explained:
"In my own state of Wisconsin, mink farmers and biomedical researchers have experienced their own share of intimidation, harassment, and vandalism at the hands of animal rights extremists. Farmers have had their properties raided, causing thousands of dollars of damage...Scientists around the state have received in the mail at their homes razor blades with letters stating they were
laced with the AIDS virus. Personal information such as home addresses, phone numbers and photographs of researchers have been posted on extremists' Web sites. Many of these same scientists report death threats and home visits by animal rights extremists who through their terrorism have a goal of driving the scientists out of their research-- research which has and will continue to improve human health and quality of life."

Meanwhile, back in PETA Land . . .
Meanwhile, the animal rights lunatics continue to make a mockery of themselves -- no one else could do as good a job.
The loons at PETA, for example, oppose all pet dogs and come out and say so flat and plain.
Their reasoning, they say, is that there are too many dogs in the world. Now think about that .... PETA says no one should want a dog as a pet (that would be wrong), and then they say they killing dogs because there are too many unwated dogs in the world.... Follow that?
Me neither
Perhaps it's enough to know that the twisted misanthropic children that run PETA are now traveling to other states to pick up dogs from shelters in order to expressly kill them ... though, of course, that's not what they tell the shelter workers when they visit to pick up any "extra" dog. Hard to believe? Believe it!
And then, of coure there are the PETA workers who steal dogs that are well care for, have on tags, and even have a locator collar on. Yep, that's hard to believe too, but belive it.
What's ironic here is how very late to the show PETA is.
You see, in vast stretches of the U.S. today, there are NOT a lot of dogs going to kill shelters. If a dog can be adopted in many regions of the U.S. (including in this County and every adjacent County) , it is being adopted -- either through a regular pound or through a breed-specific registry.
During the last 30 years, shelter intakes and euthanasias have decreased by 60-80 percent in many cities, particularly those located on the East and West coasts of the U.S.. And, for the record, PETA did not have a damn thing to do with it.
The people who made this happen were rank-and-file pet owners like you and me who took time to spay and neuter our own dogs (I have never bred a dog and will not be doing so), and who have tried to educate other people about dog ownership and responsibility. That is not what PETA does. PETA members take of their clothes and issue press releases. At PETA, the animals are incidental to the circus act of human ego that is a PETA event and gathering.
You know why PETA never protests in front of a kill shelter? Simple -- because if they ever did, the shelter workers would just walk out with a dog on a leash and say: "Here you go -- it's all yours to take care of for tghe next 12-to-15 year years if you want him."
And taking care of animals is not what PETA is all about.
The good news is that some folks are now willing to say it out loud. Colorado Governor Bill Owens recently called PETA a "bunch of losers," because they said they were not interested in helping a few thousand head of cattle out of food and jammed in by a record blizzard in his state. PETA could not be bothered it said, because those cattle were going to slaughter in six or nine months. Reduce suffering? That's not on PETA's agenda/
