I was going to ask where these animal rights groups get the money to pay off these settlements and got my answer here:

As for the settlement, he declined to say what portion of it was paid by the Humane Society but said he expects it to be covered by insurance and ultimately that "we are not in the end going to give a dime to Feld."

I'm more convinced than ever that these groups are actually a money making business for the people at the top of the food chain, everyone below them are either gullible, bleeding hearts, or just losers.
