Various animal rights organizations

Many groups dedicated their attention to the rights of animals. Some organizations took it a step further after hearing about the existence of and exploitation of the prehistoric animals. While most employees have joined their cause, corporate executives and spokespeople have said multiple times that they are their property, and so they can do anything to them. This has not only made GeneTech look bad, but made the company nearly go bankrupt. This lead to the capture of various prehistoric animals. The only one to make it off the island was a house pet. This was a baryonyx named Rocky, who ended up safe with his owners in the end. The rest of the animals were freed, but the risk of recapture is high. The animal rights groups had since partnered up into a group dedicated to all living organisms. Their main priority, the dinosaurs and other critically endangered species. Their methods varied depending on who planned them and who participated. The most extreme was destroying GeneTech laboratories. At the time of Extinction, they had ceased.
