Here's a little background. The videos below are two parts, about a family's encounter with a militant charity, via RidleyReport. You may be familiar with the SPCA, an organization not normally associated with militantism. Usually, we think of PETA as the militant animal rights group.

The reason the SPCA representative was being militant was because he wanted to see if the Travis family was taking good care of their own horses. Apparently, in New Hampshire, the law requires shelter for horses during November through April.

Some of this may be hard to understand if you aren't aware of a few things: Life, Liberty, and Private Property. In the US, some people observe this tradition referred to as "Liberty." This tradition may seem quaint to most, but if you understand this concept, the video begins to make a little more sense.

The Travis family interpret Liberty differently than the man from the SPCA. The Travis family want to be left alone to enjoy their Life, Liberty, and Private Property. The man from the SPCA does not observe Private Property the same way. He and his police buddy believe the law gives them the right to enter Private Property in order to enforce their statutes.

So rather than go through the proper and civilized channels, rather than make an appointment with the Travis family, rather than show them the courtesy that equal human beings should show one another, the man from the SPCA starts off making accusations then calls the police in an attempt to intimidate the family.
