Alex Pacheco began making headlines at the age of 21 by closing down the first laboratory in the U.S. on charges of cruelty to animals. As co-founder and Chairman of PETA for 20 years, he was responsible for expanding it into the world’s most recognizable animal rights charity. To date, he has been responsible for raising over $128 million for charity in donations alone. He is well-known for leading a 15-year battle to save a band of crippled lab animals called “The Silver Spring Monkeys.” His picture and articles have appeared in each edition of Animal Times for the last 20 years. In 1999, Alex became President of All American Animals and Humane America, the creator of 1-800-SAVE-A-PET.com. Please visit www.ArConference.org and www.AllAmericanAnimals.com

Lets not fool …
Lets not fool ourselves. All animals should be treated and care for in the proper way. But my question to PETA. What is your stance on ABORTION?

Killing Animals!!!!
Bible Book of Judges 15:4
“Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.”

Check your sources. Taub was convicted of 6 counts of animal cruelty. He appealed but was still charged with one count. The monkeys were not returned to Taub, they were sent to the Delta Regional Primate Research Center, not the Institute for Behavrial Research (where Taub worked).
A life is a life, …
A life is a life, moron. The idea that there’s a difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage. They are aware of their world as we are ours. Once the mindset of people like you is changed, we can all respect ALL life.
We do not need to …
We do not need to test on animals to find cures. Scientists can use other methods that are MORE EFFECTIVE. Without testing on animals, we would actually save more human lives as well. There are many drugs on the market that harm and kill humans, that are there because they were tested on animals. We do not have the same system as a guinea pig and so torturing and testing drugs on them WILL NOT BRING US CLOSER TO A CURE.

One of the greatest men of all time, Gandhi, has this to say: “I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence.” – I tend to agree with him.
Thank You Alex–you …
Thank You Alex–you are a Hero and a Good Man.. I wish there were more like you
The research done …
The research done in that lab has helped stroke survivors recover and has also given us (human being) a tremendous amount of knowledge on the subject of neuroplasticity. PETA ended up losing in court and the scientist eventually got the mokeys back anyways. Alex Pacheco is a hippie who destroyed a good scientists name.

I became a staunch animal rights activist a long time ago when my pet dog, Smurf, tragically lost his life to a botched castration. I know now that it is wrong to sever the scrotum without cauterizing the wound afterward using a cigarette lighter.
