AR-News: (US-ct) On the hunt: Darien animal rights activist wages battle on many fronts

[Animalconcerns]

DARIEN -- Priscilla Feral has had a busy winter. When she wasn't fighting
with the state of Alaska over wolf hunting, she was brawling with Audubon
Connecticut over deer hunting on its Greenwich sanctuary.

Deserved or not, many animal rights groups have a reputation for extreme
views, and those of Friends of Animals, based in Darien, may be the most
radical. Feral, its president, is not afraid to attack not only hunters
but environmental-protection agencies and animal cruelty prevention groups
that do not go far enough.

Her organization is not satisfied with improving conditions on factory
farms, or advocating for less cruel hunting techniques. Friends of Animals
wants to abolish these practices.

"If you get to the heart of the problem, that is probably radical," Feral
said Friday at Friends of Animals headquarters on the Post Road. "People
ought to just stop eating animals."
