The Most (POM) Wonderful Time of the Year?
Posted On December 22, 2006

Since September, animal rights extremists including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and the terrorism-minded Animal Liberation Front have been campaigning against POM Wonderful -- a popular pomegranate juice company based in Los Angeles. Their gripe: POM commissions medical research using rats and mice to test the health benefits of its juice. Never mind that studies like these have shown that pomegranate juice can help protect against heart disease, prostate cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, and even some brain injuries. Animal activists are siding with the rodents. And as usual, they've been less than civil: According to a December 19 POM press release, "masked protesters have stalked POM employees at their homes, screaming profanities and threats of violence and terrorizing their young children."

Fortunately, a California State Court issued an injunction in November barring protesters from harassing the company's employees. But rather than pack up their ski masks and move on, one group of activists decided to up the ante. A group calling itself the Animal Rights Militia now claims it poisoned 487 bottles of POM Wonderful juice in a number of East Coast grocery stores.

Five days later, no one has gotten ill. The whole thing appears to be a sick hoax. But one of the targeted grocers -- Wild Oats Markets -- pulled POM juice from seven of its stores to "make sure the product is safe." While we can't blame them for being cautious, a move like that sets a dangerous precedent which may induce more lunatics (armed, perhaps, with more than a laptop and an 8th-grade vocabulary) to criminally turn food businesses into PR pawns.

Hiring the Animal Liberation Front

Even seasoned animal-rights veterans were surprised in April 2000 when the Humane Society of the United States sent John "J.P." Goodwin on an anti-fur junket to China. Goodwin was not just any animal activist: he was then an avowed member of the terrorist Animal Liberation Front (ALF). Less than a year later he was formally identified as an HSUS legislative affairs staffer; Goodwin would later change his rhetoric to match HSUS's corporate policy of not endorsing violence as a protest tactic.

Goodwin, a high-school dropout who had previously co-founded the Texas-based Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade, pulled no punches when it came to his priorities. "My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture," he had written to one Internet activist mailing list.

Goodwin himself has been arrested and convicted for being the ringleader of a gang that vandalized fur retailers in multiple states during the 1990s. The animal-rights newspaper Animal People News profiled Goodwin in 2000, noting that he "gleefully announced a string of Animal Liberation Front mink releases and arsons against furriers and fur farms" while a "spokesman" for the underground terrorist group.

Goodwin also fielded press inquiries after a Petaluma, California, slaughterhouse arson in February 1997, and shocked the public with his comments on the March 1997 arson at a farmer's feed co-op in Utah. Referring to a fire that caused almost $1 million in damage and could easily have killed a family sleeping on the premises, Goodwin told The Deseret News: "We're ecstatic."

J.P. Goodwin doesn't represent HSUS's only intersection with the animal rights movement's violent underbelly. Miyun Park, a Washington, DC anti-meat activist hired by HSUS in 2005, was acknowledged in 1999 as a financial benefactor of No Compromise magazine, a publication that supports the ALF and promotes arson and other violent tactics. And in the investigation leading to the 2005 animal-enterprise terrorism trial of six SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty) activists, Park was among those named in at least six federal wiretap warrants.

And Ariana Huemer, an HSUS government-affairs employee, may figure in the case of fugitive animal-rights bomber Daniel Andreas San Diego. An FBI evidence recovery log from the search of San Diego's car describes a check Huemer wrote to him. San Diego, currently on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list, is presumed responsible for 10-pound shrapnel bombs detonated in 2003 at two California biomedical research companies. One of these bombs was accompanied by a "secondary" device, timed to detonate after paramedics and firefighters arrived on the scene.
