There's no reason to steal such animals at the risk of going to jail etc. It
has been pointed out for these people countless times that if they want to do
something to try to help them which they very obviously can't do with a vegan
lifestyle, they should BUY animals that are going to soon be slaughtered and
then AFTER buying them provide them with a decent life of positive value. It has
been pointed out for Rupert, Goo and Derek many many times in regards to broiler
chickens and veal calves, and also white mice. Since they obviously don't really
care about trying to do that, what do you think their true objective really is?

Muslims aren't the problem. Global warming is.
