It will never happen. Bow Hunting is the only alternative feasible to keeping the deer population down
scretch........... yawwwwwn.......... I'm really worried about this. What on Earth are we going to do? (in my most sarcastic voice)
I think the hunters over in England said the same thing a few months ago. Look at what happend, those who do nothing are the reson they lost thir rights to hunt. And its going to happen here if you think that it wont happen and dont do anything to make sure it dont happen.
Pass it off if you want to, the only problem is, we will all be sorry down the road.
HSUS, Animal Fund and Peta are all the same bunch of idiots. Heres some info on PETA:
Peta spends more on promoting themselves than on animals.
In a 1992 report by the NCIB, National Charities Investigation Bureau, PETA spent 42% of its organizational expenses on fundraising. Only 20% on actual research and investigation in to animal cruelty.
More current reports examining PETA's tax filings have shown as little as 1% of PETA's total revenue actually goes directly to helping animals; usually small donations to animal clinics or similar organizations. PETA's 2001 tax filings show some interesting donations:
Compassion Unlimited Plus Action - Bangalore - Donation - $11.11
PETA Research & Education Foundations - Donations $29.16
In Defense of Animals - Donation $71.11
Virginia Police Defense Fund, Norfolk Police Union - Donation - $150
Society for Abolition of Animal Exploitation - Donation - $150
Kalamazoo Animal Liberation League - Donation - $150
Vieques Humane Society - Donation - $25
SNAP - Donation - $50,000
PETA's donations totaled only $206,655.58, but they had a total revenue of almost $14 Million.
PETA spent the following on
PETA TV - Expense - $13,268.84
Electronic equipment, computers, cameras - Expense- $33,869.24
Automobiles - Expense - $148,362.02
SNAP Vehicle - Expense - $150,000.00
Buildings and improvements - Expense - $295,101.60 (After a $195,000 donation of property)
Land - Expense - 94,170.00
It makes one ask the questions, what is PETA really about? Why do they choose to spend more money on promoting themselves than actually helping animals?
Supporting Terrorism.
PETA has contributed thousands of dollars to known activist extremists. Most of these extremist were involved in either ALF or ELF, two organizations under FBI watch. The FBI is monitoring these organizations for acts of terrorism in the United States. These acts include arson, bombings, cutting the brake lines on fishery trucks, breaking and entering, destruction of government and organizational research laboratories and murder. ALF, in one statement, has admitted to over 100 acts of terrorism, all in the name of animal rights and the economy.
PETA has given over $45,000 to the defense of Rodney Coronado, an ALF member convicted of a firebombing at Michigan State University. During this criminal act of arson, Rodney Coronado stole documents and had them sent to a PETA member, the sending of these packages was prearranged by the president of PETA, herself. One of the packages was intercepted by the FBI.
Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, during his last meal, decided to not eat meat. PETA’s response to this was given by Bruce Friedrich, when he told reporters “Mr. McVeigh’s decision to go vegetarian groups him with some of the world’s greatest visionaries."
PETA published a pamphlet entitled "Activism and the law", that offers advice on burning laboratory buildings. This same pamphlet states "there is a higher law than that written by those who subjugate the helpless", it states that the use of illegal actions may be unpopular, but "no struggle against exploitation has been won without them."
PETA contributed $27,000 to the legal defense of Roger Troen for burglary and arson at the University of Oregon in 1986. In 1989, PETA informed its members of the payment.
PETA's 1988 Form 990. PETA contributed $7,500 to the legal defense of Fran Stephanie Trutt, convicted of possessing pipe bombs and prosecuted for the attempted murder of the president of a medical laboratory.
PETA's 2001 Form 990. PETA payed lawyer fees for animal rights criminals involving the North American Earth Liberation Front, an FBI-declared domestic terrorist organization.
-"I will be the last person to condemn ALF (Animal Liberation Front)."
- Ingrid Newkirk, in the New York Daily News, [December 7, 1997]
-"McVeigh's decision to go vegetarian groups him with some of the world's greatest visionaries."
- Bruce Friedrich praising Oklahoma City bomber and mass-murderer Timothy McVeigh, for choosing a vegetarian last meal
-"If we really believe that animals have the same right to be free from pain and suffering at our hands, then, of course we’re going to be, as a movement, blowing things up and smashing windows … I think it’s a great way to bring about animal liberation … I think it would be great if all of the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories, and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow. I think it's perfectly appropriate for people to take bricks and toss them through the windows ... Hallelujah to the people who are willing to do it."
- Bruce Friedrich, vegan campaign coordinator of PETA, “Animal Rights 2001” conference
Guilty of being hypocrites.
PETA claims animal research is useless to the medical field, but their Vice President, Mary Beth Sweetland, has no problem injecting insulin to help control her diabetes. She claims that she is not a hypocrite, but she needs her life to continue fighting for animals.
In 1999, PETA euthanized 1,325 of the 2,103 animals it took. PETA claimed that euthanizing the cats was much kinder than leaving them in the streets. PETA made the statement that a quick painless death is much better than a slow painful one. However, when hunters or farmers talk of quick painless ways of killing animals, PETA calls them barbarians and claim no animal death is justified.
Brainwashing children.
They have committed to the use of propaganda in elementary schools, claiming they can influence the foundation of children's beliefs to make it easier to persuade them as teenagers and adults. They use scare tactics, and unethical methods of convincing children milk and meat is bad.
-"Our campaigns are always geared towards children and they always will be"
-Dan Matthews, Vice President of PETA on the Fox News Network [December 19, 2003]
