Medawar invites comments from any reader who can cite a specific instance of an animal rights extremist being an active member of a non-extremist animal welfare group, such as the RSPCA, or a less-extremist animal rights group, such as the BUAV. Medawar would also like to know if anyone has noticed less likely-sounding infiltrations, such as into organic gardening groups?
Were they attempting to change the agenda of the more mainstream organization?
Or were they simply trying to amass information, perhaps on the members and donors?
Does anyone feel that they have been forced out of a local group of a national mainstream "animal" organization by an influx of people to that group, with extreme or militant views?
As always, post anonymously unless you are confident that your web identity does not track back to your real identity, and be wary of using a work computer if you share a workplace with an apparent extremist. Firewalls only stop data-miners being installed over the net: they don't stop someone with a supervisor password installing one on your work machine directly.
