The animals went after Ringling Bros and their Asian elephants. Since they couldn't find proof the circus abuses their pachyderms they 'bribed' a Ringling barn helper $190,000 to say otherwise.
The dung worker, Tom Rider was given the cash to file a lawsuit charging his employer with cruelty. Over time Rider was exposed as "essentially a paid plaintiff" who lacked credibility.
Ringling counter-sued and have today prevailed. The ASPCA and other groups are ordered to pay $9.3 million to compensate Ringling for damage to their reputation and lost revenue. A sum which likely falls far short of the actual harm the rogue organizations have wrought.
The settlement of course contains the boilerplate legal-sleeze 'admitting no guilt.' But it doesn't take a Veterinarian to figure out whose knees are deep in elephant doodee.
Irony bites the left-wingers once again. The crusaders are the perpetrators. Life is a three-ring-circus is it not folks?
