It amuses me to see how some animal rights groups are apparently not aware how ridiculous their anti-violence statements are. SHAC is a good example. On the SHAC website they celebrate the dreadful harassment of the company in the last couple of years, by their own supporters. Here they also publish contact details of employees, suppliers, customers etc and encourage people to take direct action. And then they distance themselves using “weasel words” (a word used to deprive a statement of its force or evade a direct commitment, according to the dictionary). Thus on the site this “disclaimer” ... “Please note that SHAC does not encourage or incite illegal activities”.
