“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 … is making the lawsuit
available online at its newest website, www.HumaneWatch.org.
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.” From Feb. 22, 2010 press release
