NY congresswoman Claudia Tenney demands FBI investigate threat posed by ‘vegan extremists’

By Victor Nava
April 29, 2023

Rep. Claudia Tenney on Thursday called on FBI Director Christopher Wray to investigate alleged “criminal activity being promoted” by a vegan activist group in upstate New York.

In her letter to Wray, the New York Republican alleges that California-based group Direct Action Everywhere has been using her home state to fundraise and recruit people to “actively disrupt farms” in rural communities in Empire State and elsewhere.

​​“The threat of theft and trespassing posed by this vegan activist group is completely unacceptable. It is the absolute last thing our farmers should be facing right now as they struggle through a labor shortage and soaring costs,” Tenney said in a statement.

“Our local law enforcement agencies have responded swiftly to protect our farmers, and now it is time for federal authorities to do the same,” she said.

Tenney wrote that in the last year farms in Niagara County have reported several instances of animal theft and trespassing activity. She noted that recently the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office has asked farmers to be vigilant for trespassers on their property.

Sorry, FBI and DOJ are too busy chasing parents who mouth off at school board meetings and Catholics who attend Latin Mass.
