Now I don't know if they really care about animals or not, but they are a fund, which implies they need money. Therefore any damage that legally shouldn't be done that is done to the Fund, should be expected to be followed up. If they had no proof of damages, they wouldn't be sueing. I'm not a legal expert, but I htink it would take a while to calculate damages, and an exact and fair sum of money the WWE should pay. Two and a half years is not that long when it compares to other financial cases. Besides, if the WWF had come into court back then and said there may be damages done to their organisation, yet they had no proof, they would have been laughed out of the courtroom. If the Fund has proof of damages, and has a perfect sum of what the WWE should pay to make up for it, I think it is more than fair that the WWE pays. I don't know if the fund is going to go fairly square with the WWE here (there is no evidence they are trying to harm the WWE, they are just helping themselves), or if they will get some sort of bonus compensation, but whatever happens, let's just hope the court ruling is fair and final.

You do have a point that it may take a long time for all the exact numbers and stats to be figured out, and that the WWE should (and probably had every intentions to) pay on it. But that is still something that the WWF should've done before the very first lawsuit was filed, not now. Even at that point, they could've gotten a pretty good estimated figure of damages they claimed came from the WWE (and there is also a small possibility of whether or not the damages were intentional or not being a factor, don't ask me how, though I doubt it, but I will never be able to fully understand some judges anymore). And coupled with the fact that there have been lawsuits before this and after the first one, there are many suspicions that cloud this issue.

I do thank you, though, for making this a debate rather than just saying that someone sucked for disagreeing. I still can't see why this could've been done sooner. It does no good to wait this long for the WWF.
