    PETA As Deranged As Ever, Wants Hunting Magazines Treated Like Porn…

    [​IMG]

    Oooooh baby, check out those antlers!


    (CNSNews.com) - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is encouraging national retailer Hudson News to put hunting magazines where children can’t see them — because, “Like other forms of casual or thrill violence, hunting spawns a dangerous desensitization to the suffering of others.”

    In a recent blog post, PETA wrote: “If children aren’t mature enough to see nude human bodies, are they really mature enough to see people killing for ‘fun’?

    PETA has written to the CEO of Hudson News, Joseph DiDomizio, to request that his retail outlets handle hunting magazines the same way they would handle pornography or any other material that is inappropriate for kids: Store them out of reach and view of minors and allow only adults over the age of 18 to purchase them.

    “If looking at pornography could encourage kids to become sexually active, as some child advocates suggest, what could looking at magazines that portray killing as exciting and rewarding do to them? We know that many of the school shooters who killed their classmates first hunted animals.”

    PETA argues that “children can’t fully comprehend the consequences of hunting,” adding that hunting “tears apart” animal “families” and their “communities.”

    Saw a news story on TV yesterday about two guys who were attacked by a young buck deer. The deer kicked their asses, dented their truck and even stole a pack of cigarettes. It took five grown men and a tranquilizer dart to subdue the deer.

    It's refreshing to see the prey win now and again. 8)

    PETA is always good for a laugh. I have always wondered if thought is given to the concrete under their feet that destroyed the local animal habitat... But hey, what do I know, Thanksgiving always meant a day to hunt before devouring lbs of Turkey....

    ASPCA pays circus $9.3 million to settle suit related to elephant litigation

    Home - by Cardigan - December 29, 2012 - 20:30 America/New_York - 5 Comments

    The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has agreed to pay the parent company of the Ringling Bros. Circus $9.3 million to settle allegations that the animal group conspired to pay a witness for false testimony in a 12-year lawsuit over the treatment of circus elephants.

    Feld Entertainment, the circus’s operator, said Friday that the settlement resolves the ASPCA’s part in paying Tom Rider, the star witness procured by a larger group of animal advocacy organizations, to testify falsely about abuse he claimed to have witnessed at the hands of circus trainers. That lawsuit was first brought into federal court in 2000.

    The payment releases the ASPCA from liability related to a racketeering counter-suit Feld brought against the animal organizations in 2007 after documents turned over in discovery showed that the plaintiffs made payments — often through a nonprofit managed by their lawyers — to Rider.

    Sometimes a GoPro will capture something a little TOO extreme.

    This was taken at Rockaway Beach, NY and the boys didn’t even realise till they took the camera home and had a look through their shots.
