Obama 'Regulatory Czar' has Secret Animal-Rights Agenda, Says Consumer Group
Washington, D.C. (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 15, 2009 -- The nonprofit Center
for Consumer Freedom said today that Cass Sunstein, the Harvard
University Law School professor tapped by President-elect Obama to head
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, has a secret aim to
push a radical animal-rights agenda in the White House. Sunstein
supports outlawing sport hunting, giving animals the legal right to file
lawsuits, and using government regulations to phase out meat consumption.
In a 2007 speech at Harvard University, Sunstein argued in favor of
entirely "eliminating current practices such as … meat eating." He also
proposed: "We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn't a purpose
other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It's time now."
Sunstein wrote in his 2004 book "Animal Rights: Current Debates and New
Directions" that "animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human
beings as their representatives … Any animals that are entitled to bring
suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe
guardian-like obligations and make decisions, subject to those
obligations, on their clients' behalf."
The Center for Consumer Freedom's Director of Research, David Martosko,
is available to discuss Cass Sunstein's likely impact on typical
elements of American life that involve the use of animals. Sunstein's
work could spell the end of animal agriculture, retail sales of meat and
dairy foods, hunting and fishing, biomedical research, pet ownership,
zoos and aquariums, traveling circuses, and countless other things
Americans take for granted.
Mr. Martosko said: "Cass Sunstein owes Americans an honest appraisal of
his animal rights agenda as America's top regulator. Americans don't
realize that the next four years could be full of bizarre initiatives
plucked from the wildest dreams of the animal-rights fringe. Think about
every outrageous idea PETA and the Humane Society of the United States
have ever had, and imagine them all having the force of federal law.
This doesn't look good for hunters, ranchers, restaurateurs, biomedical
researchers, or ordinary pet owners."
