LOL! The ASPCA payed a former Ringling Brothers employee almost $200,000 to testify that he was damaged when he witnessed the abuse of the circus's elephants. Finding his testimony to be "not credible," the judge ordered the ASPCA to pay Ringling Brothers' legal fees: $9.3 MILLION.
That ought to discourage frivolous litigation!
Visit the online store at ASPCA.org, and you’ll be invited to make a symbolic donation enabling the animal-welfare charity to carry on one of its beloved activities. Give $20, and you symbolically buy antibiotics for an injured animal. Spend $50, and care for a rescued horse; $200, and cover a spay or neuter operation.
There’s no checkoff for “$9.3 million to compensate opponent for litigation abuse.” But maybe there should be.
