Could We

Knowledgeable In Subversive
Tactics Of The AR And The 'Print
What They Are Told' News Media
Reading the above stories makes one wonder how
people could believe that giving a rooster a shot of some drug to thicken its
blood would make any sense at all, Anyone who has ever seen a cockfight knows
that chickens fight very fast. Their movements are a blur to
most spectators. The drug to thicken the blood slows their heart rate, makes
them fight slower, no doubt
leading to a loss.
As to giving them a
drug to make them more aggressive that is a joke, there is no such drug, never
was, never will be. Gameness is bred into these birds, it will not be found in a
bottle. Chicken fighters are like the rest of American society: smart cockers
and dumb cockers. As you see in any field of endeavor, the 'miracle' potions and
elixirs you see advertised in the magazines are sold to the dumb
ones.
The Humane Societies and PETA have told this lie about the drugs
now for over thirty years and the media they talk to, print what they are told.
The reporters have done much to destroy a breed of fowl that are so very,
very much better bred than they are. They have much to answer for.
Remember if you tell a lie long enough people will believe it. When the
humane groups confiscate these chickens they destroy every one, If
cockfights were left alone and not raided at least half of the birds would go
home safe and sound. Where is the be good to animals in this? How is this
protecting animals?

PETA donates $1,500 to local animal shelter
By JUSTIN
LANG jlang@lakecityreporter.com
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has given
a $1,500 grant to the Lake City Humane Society and Animal Shelter as a reward
for boycotting products from a well-known pet food
manufacturer.
According to PETA, the Lake City shelter was one of 15 in
the nation to receive its financial help because it does not "promote or in any
way support" Iams, the pet food subsidiary of corporate conglomerate Proctor and
Gamble.
PETA maintains that Iams practices "painful and often deadly
laboratory tests on dogs, cats, and other animals."
The Dayton,
Ohio-based Iams Company, however, says that PETA's allegations are based on
events at a laboratory it - and other pet food companies - contracted with more
than two years ago and no longer uses.
Margaret Smith, director of the
local shelter, said she was aware of Iams and its alleged practices through
magazine articles and information from PETA.
"I guess it all boils down
to animal testing and at the animal shelter we are certainly against that," she
said.
Smith said she received a questionnaire from PETA about Iams and
the animal shelter's use - or lack thereof - of its products. After filling it
out and returning it, she said PETA contacted her about receiving the grant for
not using or promoting Iams.
Smith said she has already received the
$1,500 and put it in the animal shelter's general operating fund to buy dog and
cat food.
"It's a big help," she said.
The animal shelter often
has pet food donated, but when it buys its own (usually Purina brand) Smith said
she uses coupons and watches prices closely, meaning $1,500 will likely go a
long way.
After receiving the grant, Smith said she had a call from Iams
and said, "I think they are doing everything they can to get their good name
back."
According to PETA, it conducted an undercover investigation at a
laboratory contracted by Iams that revealed 27 dogs were killed during a study
and others died of illness without veterinary treatment. PETA also alleged "the
company has cut dogs' vocal chords so as not to disturb laboratory workers and
has left sick animals to suffer alone and without care in barren
cages."
"Nearly 100 shelters have decided to boycott Iams after learning
about the company's cruel and unnecessary tests on animals," PETA Senior Vice
President Mary Beth Sweetland said in a statement. "Iams uses its profits to
create misery for dogs and cats, but these shelters need funds for their vital
work of protecting animals from harm."
Kurt Iverson, spokesperson for
Iams Company, said PETA is "spreading a lot of untruths and sensationalized
stories."
"The story that they are telling is based on a facility we used
two years ago and that we no longer use," he said. "They also don't tell you
that the person that was gathering their video footage was the person Iams was
paying to take care of those dogs and cats."
Iverson said pet owners and
shelters can educate themselves about Iams research practices at
www.iamstruth.com, as well as learn about the company's International Animal
Care Advisory board. The board, he said, is made up of third-party animal
experts such as members of the U.S. Humane Society and its purpose is to
establish the best practices for humane research in the pet product
industry.
Iverson said members of the board have the authority to perform
unscheduled inspections at all of Iams' research facilities to "make sure the
rules are being followed."
Recently, he said Iams also helped for a sixth
year in a "Home for the Holidays" campaign which aided more than 1,300 animal
shelters nationwide in finding matches for about 3,000 adoptable
pets.
Is There A Link Between Animal Rights And Criminal
Actions?
Questions raised in panther
case
Group says suspects were
pressured
A civil rights group is alleging that some defendants might
have been pressured into entering pleas in a Collier County animal cruelty
case.
"There may be material misrepresentations of fact, possibly even a
conspiracy to commit fraud on the court," states a letter sent by the Center for
Civil Rights Advocacy to Collier County Judge Ramiro
Manalich.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, denied that there has been any
wrongdoing in the handling of the case.
The case involves three men who are each charged with one
count of conspiracy to commit animal cruelty by allegedly using a goat to bait a
Florida panther.
Each misdemeanor count carries a maximum penalty of a
year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Two of the men, Jack Shealy, 45, and Richard Scholle, 58, both
of Ochopee, pleaded no contest to their charges. The third man, Jan Michael
Jacobson, 62, of Ochopee, has pleaded not guilty and has demanded a jury
trial.
The three in June allegedly used a goat as bait to capture on
video a Florida panther that had been raiding their petting zoo livestock at
their campground in Ochopee.
The goat lived, although Assistant State
Attorney Beverly Brennan said she has a photograph of the panther with its jaws
around the goat's neck. The panther was later captured by state wildlife
officers.
A sentencing hearing for Shealy and Scholle was delayed
Wednesday because Jacobsen has asked for a trial.
All three cases are being combined, and Shealy and Scholle
will be sentenced after Jacobson's case is resolved, Brennan said.
During
the hearing, Manalich told Brennan that he had received the letter from the
civil rights group that raises "some serious allegations."
The judge placed the letter in the case file.
Walter
Pine, a disabled Army veteran and executive director of the Titusville-based
organization, said the letter was sent to make Manalich aware of some concerns
the group has.
For instance, "at least one defendant stated that if they,
defendants, obtained legal counsel, they had been told by investigators and the
prosecutor that they would be denied a plea bargain," the letter states. The
letter doesn't name the defendant.
Further, the defendants were told that "state and federal
agencies would take action to revoke their licenses and permits to operate their
campground," the letter states. Shealy runs the campground with his brother,
David Shealy, who is not charged in the case.
Pine said Wednesday he
personally heard some of the comments by officers.
The letter goes on to state that the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission has had a policy of feeding livestock and wild animals
to caged Florida panthers.
There have been no sufficient studies to
determine whether Florida panthers pose a threat to people.
Pine said his
group offered to arrange legal representation for the defendants, but Shealy and
Scholle declined.
Scholle refused comment Wednesday. Shealy could not be reached
for comment.
Jacobson's attorney, James Cummins, of Inverness, could not
be reached for comment.
In response to the allegations in the letter, Brennan said
Shealy and Scholle freely and voluntarily waived their rights to attorney
representation and entered pleas of no contest in the case.
The next
hearing for Shealy and Scholle is scheduled for March 22. The prosecutor said
she hopes Jacobsen's case can be resolved by then.

Forty-four Dead Cats And A Psychological Evaluation Of A
71 Year Old Woman?
What Does Animal Rights Contribute To
Society?
Does It Appear The AR Have Compassion For Either Animals
Or Humans?
Majority
Of Cats Found In Back Of Truck Destroyed
The Associated Press
ROSWELL —
Most of the sick cats found in the back of a moving van last week have been
destroyed, officials said.
Forty-four of the 61 cats
found in the truck driven by Mary Jane Lyle, 71, of Minden, Mich., have been
euthanized.
A Roswell police officer pulled over the van
Jan. 19 because a taillight was out. While the officer was talking to Lyle, he
heard noises that appeared to be an injured cat.
Lyle
told him she had a cat. But when the officer opened the back of the truck, he
discovered 63 — two of them dead.
Lyle has pleaded not guilty to 61 counts of animal
cruelty. No trial date has been set.
Roswell animal
control supervisor Joseph Pacheco said this week the cats that were destroyed
had been examined by a veterinarian. The 44 cats were suffering from ailments
ranging from skin parasites to respiratory problems, Pacheco said.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a national
animal protection group, sent a letter Monday to Roswell's city attorney
suggesting Lyle might be an "animal hoarder."
PETA
recommended she be banned for life from contact with animals, that any animals
in her custody be taken away and that authorities in Minden and Tucson, Ariz.,
where she was heading, be notified of the case.
PETA also
asked that Lyle receive a psychological evaluation, followed by mandatory
counseling at her expense.
Psychological treatment may be
more important than jail time, said Daniel Paden, a caseworker at PETA
headquarters in Norfolk, Va.
"Incarceration is by no
means our priority," he said. "Putting a 71-year-old woman in jail isn't going
to answer any problem."
It
made CNN and USA Today too.

Could We Call This
Discrimination In Kansas?
Residents petition city for
poultry
By MELISSA SHUMAN
Kansan Staff Writer
The Aleman family said they're getting rid of 50 roosters and chickens
today.
Rosario Aleman applied for a special permit to keep the animals, but members
of the Unified Government Planning Commission denied the permit- citing a
possible history of cockfighting at the residence, police intervention and a
detrimental effect on surrounding homes.
Since Rosario, who immigrated from Mexico, speaks little English, her son
Apolonio Aleman spoke to the commission Jan. 10 on her behalf. Aleman said the
family wants to keep the chickens and roosters to provide meat and eggs.
"It's kind of a tradition," he said. "In Mexico, we always had them, but here
it's not allowed."
At the Aleman home on 1841 S. 88th St., a chicken coop in the backyard
encircles an open square where the chickens feed. Aleman said the open square
allowed the chickens exercise. He said the home has 5 acres of land, which gives
the birds space. About 20 roosters, along the side, are kept in separate pens.
Aleman said there is no cockfighting at the home.
"Since it's illegal in every state but Louisiana, we had planned to breed
them and ship them to Mexico," he said. "But it didn't work out."

Just Another
Hate Campaign?
........it turns out the ban wasn't so much
to save the cute little fox, but to stick it to the rich people....
Tally Ho!
By John Gibson
On
my show Thursday, you heard FOX News' Douglas Kennedy's report on PETA
(search) and the troubles they are
having once somebody turns the tables on them. It reminded me of how the PETA
folks — along with some others — have managed to get fox hunting (search) banned in Great
Britain.
Of course the Brits have their hearts on their sleeves about everybody and
everything: What did you do for tsunami victims today; what did you do for AIDS
today, what did you do for Africa today?
This jihad was about those cute red foxes, which, it turns out, have become
an enormous pest in Britain because there are no wolves around anymore to eat
them.
Anyway, in the British countryside they've been hunting foxes for a long time
using packs of hounds chasing the fox and a bunch of stuffy Brits on horses
chasing the hounds.
And it turns out the ban wasn't so much to save the cute little fox, but to
stick it to the rich people who have the money and time to saddle up and chase
the dogs chasing the fox.
In Texas, where I have a small ranch, we have a coyote problem. They come
around and grab your cat, or dog if they can. People try to shoot them, but they
hide during the day. Or they get a donkey put it in the field and he'll chase
them down and stomp them to death.
While they ban hunting foxes in Britain, in Texas the law says you can hunt
and kill coyotes at any time by any means.
If an Iraqi insurgent came to Texas, I guess technically he could use his RPG
to blow up coyotes and nobody would care. It would be legal.
So you were wondering about the differences between us and the Brits? Here
you have it in a nutshell:
We say shoot the coyotes — use landmines if you want.
The Brits won't let you hunt a fox — not that they care about the fox, but
because hunting foxes is what rich people do and so they're against it.
That's My Word.

Subject: Virginia Legislation Update
A SAOVA message to sportsmen, pet owners and farmers concerned
about protecting their traditions, avocations and livelihoods from anti-hunting,
anti-breeding, animal guardianship advocates. Forwarding and cross posting, with
attribution, encouraged.
Dear Sportmen Friends,
You'll be interested in the Virginia bill update
below. The statewide pet sterilization bill, HB2927, was the subject of my
message to you last weekend. I'd intended that message to serve as dramatic
example of what might happen to animal owners in even a very conservative state.
Since I failed to remove an "Action Call" subject tag, many of you weighed in
supporting us here in Virginia. Thank you. VHDOA's Sunday message caused
HB2927's sponsor to receive 800 opposition emails on that day alone. At noon on
Monday, Delegate Kilgore told an outdoor writer that he was pulling HB2927,
after introducing it late Friday. Hunting dog sportsmen and allied animal
owners responded before others knew there was a problem, or "furst wit
da mostst," as Nathan Bedford Forrest would say.
Please stay vigilant. Virginia's legislative
sessions are among the shortest and most frenetic in the nation. Approximately
100 law bills are considered every working day and 48-50% are passed. You
should have more time to recognize and react to bad bills in your own states.
Many of these anti-animal owner bills turn up in state after state. It's wise to
network with others, sharing intelligence, data and winning strategies.
We're working to fix the mailman server's currently faulty
archive retrieval.
Good luck and best wishes.
Sincerely,

PCRM's 'Public Service' Steals Meat
Off Your Table
While the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)
works hard to disguise its animal-rights agenda -- it's the group that the
New York Times reported "has a PETA link" because it shares resources with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) --
it has finally come clean about its goal of stealing meat off your plate. And
they've done it on video, no less! In one of three new "public service announcements," a voiceover
pushes "vegetarian foods" while PCRM representatives go into a small restaurant
and -- against the protest of the employees -- make off with any meat products,
to be replaced with only vegetables. At the end of the ad, one labcoat-clad
actor swipes a customer's burger right off the table. While it may have been an
unsuccessful attempt at humor, pilfering our choices is precisely what food
scolds across the country want to do.
PCRM's second ad claims: "The most dangerous thing our kids have to deal with today isn't
drugs. It isn't violence. It's unhealthy food." Most parents would
disagree. For a more informative spot, click here to see our ad on the dangers of violent
animal-rights activists.

.........Because repeat crimes are the rule rather

fighters—we ask that, upon conviction and in addition to the six months of
incarceration that each would thus face, the accused be barred from all future
contact with animals and that any animals who may remain in their respective
charges be immediately seized. We also ask that the defendants be required to
undergo thorough psychological evaluations followed by mandatory counseling at
