“The major purpose of [Foundation to Support Animal Protection (FSAP)] appears to be to enable PETA and PCRM to evade public recognition of their relationship, the real extent of their direct mail expenditures, and the real extent and nature of their assets. If FSAP, PETA, and PCRM were seen as a single fundraising unit, as the existence and activities of FSAP indicate they should be …” — Animal People News, December 2002
“The AMA continues to marvel at how effectively a fringe organization of questionable repute continues to hoodwink the media with a series of questionable research that fails to enhance public health. Instead, it serves only to advance the agenda of activist groups interested in perverting medical science. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is an animal ‘rights’ organization, and, despite its title, represents less than .5 percent of the total U.S. physician population. Its founder, Dr. Neal Barnard, is also the scientific advisor to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an organization that supports and speaks for the terrorist organization knows as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF).” — from a September, 1992 press release issued by the American Medical Association
“The general approach used by PCRM takes selective data and quotations, often out of context … In response to a Resolution passed unanimously at the recent AMA House of Delegates meeting, the American Medical Association calls upon the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine to immediately terminate the inappropriate and unethical tactics your organization uses to manipulate public opinion.” — Letter to PCRM’s Neal Barnard, from James Todd, executive vice president of the American Medical Association (July 26, 1990)
“To give a child animal products is a form of child abuse.” — from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) president Neal Barnard's 1994 book, Food For Life
“Meat consumption is just as dangerous to public health as tobacco use … It’s time we looked into holding the meat producers and fast-food outlets legally accountable.” — PCRM’s Neal Barnard, in a press release urging a federal lawsuit against “Big Meat”
