A 1989 Vegetarian Times profile of three key PETA leaders—Ingrid Newkirk, Alex Pacheco, and Kim Stallwood—included a quote from Wayne Pacelle, then Executive Director of the Fund For Animals.
Pacelle lavished praise on PETA's "visionary and professional leadership," noting that "PETA has really done so much in a short time to...promote animal rights."
(A 2004 editorial in Animal People also notes that Pacelle "hypothetically proposed a three-way merger of HSUS, the Fund [For Animals], and PETA as long ago as 1988.")
In the January 1989 issue of Vegetarian Times, then-HSUS vice president Dr. Michael Fox discussed his leadership of the HSUS-affiliated Center for Respect of Life and Environment (CRLE).
In the intervnew, Fox admitted to using CRLE to promote meat-free diets through a "covert vegetarian message."
He then goes on to say that such a stealth approach also "is part of the ecumenical approach that the HSUS follows." (The whole interview can be found here.)
This is a selection of text from inside the brochure for the Humane Society of the United States's 1989 Awards Banquet held in Houston, Texas.
At this event, HSUS gave its James Harriot Award to Irwin H. "Sonny" Bloch, a radio host & financial advisor who later pled guilty to tax evasion. He died of lung cancer before he could be sentenced for defrauding investors who listened to his show of $21 million.
HSUS's "James Herriott Award," likely the result of Bloch contributing large amounts of money to HSUS, was presented to him by then-HSUS Board Chairman K. William Wiseman.
