AAS, some Directors (who have never posted, and some who have not been Directors of AAS for years) and some Posters, and I, were served with a Supreme Court Writ on August 30, 2004. Almost a year has gone by and all that has been accomplished is that some lawyers have been paid a lot of money that was intended for animals, perhaps as much as $75,000 so far. What wasn't accomplished was the SPCA's goal - to scare my friends so much that I would back down for their sakes. I had refused to be intimidated by the SPCA's terror tactics twice before, in January 2001 and October 2002, so the directing minds behind this suit, and I believe them to be the President of the Board, Mary Lou Troman, and the CEO, Craig Daniell, decided to try terrorizing my friends. My friends are no more cowardly than I am. The SPCA shot its wad and missed its target. Now it was in a corner with a useless gun. And except for shooting itself in the foot over and over, there it has stayed.
