Beware of Project Counterglow

Project Counterglow is a website developed by animal extremists that shows an interactive map with the physical addresses and gps coordinates of more than 27,500 large modern farms, animal agriculture, dog breeding, horse racing, rodeo and research facilities. Kecia Doolittle, a member of Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) which is an animal extremist group we have written about in the past is responsible for its creation and implementation.

Direct Action Everywhere, or DxE, is known for their “right to rescue” principles. By posting these addresses on a non-membership site that anyone can access, the group is endangering any facility involved in animal enterprise such as animal agriculture, zoos, research facilities and beyond. Since the satellite imagery is from 2011-2013, the Project Counterglow team recommends that users double check with Google Maps

There are 5812 of locations identified (and more being added every day) using satellite imagery and many of these locations do not appear in public records. The map “pins” show farms with dairy, meat, poultry (meat and eggs), pigs, processing plants (some of which are cultural and ethnic plants), fur, zoos, horse facilities, and medical research facilities throughout the U.S.

Anyone can add locations or post Wiki’s with or without an account. The Project Counterglow website explains its goal is to offer a platform where “animal rights activists can communicate, collaborate, and network with one another to be as effective as possible in their work towards animal liberation... " By publishing these addresses, the map puts owners and employees of these facilities in danger as well as violates their right to privacy.

Project Counterglow’s website should concern anyone who owns and loves animals.

We, at Protect The Harvest, wanted to give you a head’s up and introduce this latest weapon offered by animal extremist groups.
