| PETA Is Exploiting Horse Racing Tragedy |
 |
|
THE SAD breakdown and death of Eight Belles
immediately after Saturday's Kentucky Derby has
brought out the worst in People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals.
Since Saturday, PETA has accused Eight Belles'
jockey, Gabriel Saez, of whipping the filly until she
died. The group has called for Mr. Saez and trainer
Larry Jones to be suspended, to bar the owner (there
is more than one) from running a horse at the track,
and for the return of the purse money Eight Belles
won. It has even condemned both presidential
candidate and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, for picking
Eight Belles to win, and daughter Chelsea Clinton for
simply attending the event.

| Animal Rights Group To Arroyo: Go Vegetarian vs Food Crisis |
|
|
By Jerome Aning
Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines -- With poor Filipinos coping with
the rice crisis and struggling to put food on the table,
the animal welfare group People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA) urged President
Macapagal-Arroyo on Thursday to fight the crisis by
promoting a vegetarian diet.
the Philippine Daily Inquirer (parent company of
INQUIRER.net), PETA's Asia-Pacific director Jason
Baker pointed out that the world was already growing
enough crops to feed every human being, but food that
could be used to nourish starving people was fed
instead to billions of chickens, pigs, and cows
slaughtered for their flesh.

| Dear Fellow Animal Owner: By Jim Beers |
|
|
My name is Jim Beers and I try my best to defend our
rights to own and use
animals whether they are public property held in trust
for all of us like
the waterfowl I hunt at every opportunity or private
property like the beef
I eat or the dog in my home. I am asking you to
consider joining and
supporting your State Gamefowl Breeders Association
and the National
Gamefowl Breeders Association.
Gamefowl husbandry and the culture and tradition it
represents are every bit
as worthy of defending as is duck hunting and all the
culture and traditions
it has given us. Simply put; the gamefowl traditions,
like trapping, are
prime emotional targets of those who would destroy
all animal use and
ownership be it for food or sport or any other use.
Uninformed urban voters
and politicians seeking perpetual reelection
are "useful idiots" (to quote
Lenin) for the Non-Governmental Organizations that
make millions of dollars
and share in new power as they get laws passed that
restrict, then regulate,
and then eliminate animal use and all the traditions
and benefits that go
with them. Here in Virginia the recent State laws
making gamefowl sport
punishable more so than wife beating, and then
criminalizing allowing a
minor to attend a gamefowl event should be a wake-
up call for all Americans.
Trappers, hunters, fishermen, cattlemen, poultry
growers, and many other
animal users should understand that these
precedents will soon be used on
them. For instance, the richest racing horse owners
recently got Federal
legislation passed banning horse slaughter by any
American horse owner
because they (the rich guys) treat their horses
like "pets". Ironically,
that meant nothing when the #2 horse in the Kentucky
Derby broke both front
ankles at the finish line: the cries are going out
to "ban" horse racing
because the radicals we are facing do not recognize
either common sense or
tolerance or friendships.
It takes money, cooperation, publicity and lobbying to
stop new laws and
rescind bad laws. Gamefowl should only be
regulated at the Local level but
the radicals force all of us to work at the State and
Federal level with the
politicians, courts, and bureaucracy. I believe that as
gamefowl breeders
go; so goes all animal property and all of the
associated rights and
freedoms we cherish in The United States of
America. For all these reasons
I have recently joined the Virginia Gamefowl Breeders
Association and the
United Gamefowl Breeders Association. Won't you
join me on the front lines
of the fight to keep our animals and our American
liberties? Please sign up
and participate in defending our rights; otherwise we
will lose them for
sure.
If you, like me have never attended a gamefowl event
but you understand the
importance of not allowing the radical groups to set
these precedents that
will soon enough be used on you: join your State
Gamefowl Breeders
Association and the United Gamefowl Breeders
Association because they need
your help. (PS Neither Association supports the use
of knives and they both
support health inspections to prevent the spread of
disease.) Go to
united069@centurytel.net for more information and
the address of your State
Association.
Thanks for your help; you will help more than you
know by drawing a line in
the sand for all those determined to eliminate your
rights associated with
animal ownership and use.

| The Wackos Are Coming For You |
|
|
It is becoming more commonplace to read letters
from animal rights activists that label fishing and
hunting as cruel and the Division of Fish and Wildlife,
the agency that manages New Jersey's wildlife, as a
purveyor of death. These advocates represent
themselves as guardians of wildlife and portray the
angler, hunter and DFW as unpopular with New
Jerseyans. The depiction is self-serving and
misleading.
The animal rights activist that protests the killing of
wildlife furthermore protests the killing of farm
animals. The advocate knows that the amount of
killing will re main unchanged regardless of the
removal of fishing and hunting, but his or her
reasoning is that it is easier to eliminate a
consolidated grouping that stands before the butcher.
Their beliefs do not allow for celebration until all
animal and fish consumption is purged and a
vegetarian lifestyle becomes the mainstay.

HOW MUCH WILL YOU GIVE UP
BEFORE YOU FIGHT BACKBy Ron Ewart,
President
National Association of Rural Landowners
© Copyright March 1, 2008 - All Rights Reserved
Every single day, while you are looking the other way,
your government is stealing things from you and they
are doing it with stealth and without constitutional
authority. They are just doing it and no one stops
them. To help them with their theft are the thousands
of social and environmental special interest groups
that lobby government incessantly for something they
want, at your expense. From the President, to the U. S.
Congress, to the state houses and yes, even in the
counties and cities, all across America, legislators,
lawmakers and bureaucrats are levying ever-
increasing taxes and passing tens of thousands of
new laws, acts, regulations, restrictions and
ordinances that take things from you, mostly your
constitutionally guaranteed freedom and liberty. You
can forget about your pursuit of happiness. These are
the thousands of new laws on top of the millions of
already existing laws. It is as if a spider has gone mad
and never stops spinning a web that finally traps him
in his own biological silk. That is suicide and of
course it is insane, but that is exactly what your
government is doing to America and you and has for
almost 10 decades.
Just try building anything on your property and watch
your bank balance sink to zero from all the fees and
charges government levies. You watch the months
click by as you wait for your permits without regard to
the limits that weather places on you, or to the time
value of your money. Just try screaming out for justice
when government decides to take your land under
eminent domain, for other than a clear government
purpose. You watch the attorneys eat up your life
savings as they try to challenge the almighty
government juggernaut, as so many have and have
lost everything for the privilege, because they believed
in our constitutions and justice, that they never
receive.
You watch as your government wastes billions of your
tax dollars on poorly thought-out programs that do
nothing but have unintended and very expensive
consequences. You cry out for redress on the illegal
immigration problem, that your government refuses to
fix, when the "fix" is pretty damn easy to do just by
building and patrolling a fence and enforcing current
laws.
You watch as your children are brainwashed and
indoctrinated from Kindergarten through four years of
college, while you pay through the nose, roll your eyes
and do nothing. You stand by and watch your
government spend billions of your dollars and pass
law after law to save the salmon because government
says they are endangered. Then you watch as the
Indians, the commercial fishermen and the seals
harvest this so-called endangered specie. There is
not a peep out of you when these educated idiots tell
you we have to dismantle perfectly good dams that
provide power, irrigation and fllod control, to preserve
a fish that is being harvested to extinction. Talk about
cross purposes and contradictions!
You watch as your presidential candidates promise
the moon from the public treasury to the undeserving,
that will drive America into financial chaos. You watch
as your government passes laws that drive up the
cost of housing, energy, food, cars and everything
else, exponentially, for reasons that defy common
sense, but only pander to some wealthy special
interest group.
You watch as they promise universal health care that
will do nothing more than raise the cost of health care,
decrease its quality and give government the rationale
to further control your behavior, because they say they
are paying for your medical care, which of course they
are not. Medicare is nothing more than government-
run health care, but many doctors are now refusing to
accept Medicare patients because government is
reducing what they pay the doctors, to control costs.
Just imagine what it will be like under government-run
Universal Health care. You can kiss the best health
care service in the world, goodbye!
You watch as government outlaws the incandescent
light bulb that has served Americans since Thomas
Edison provided one of the greatest services to
mankind and invented it. They are going to replace the
incandescent bulb with a fluorescent bulb that has
mercury in it and if it breaks it will cost you $2,000 to
clean up the resulting hazardous waste. Oh and it will
also cost you to dispose of the fluorescent
bulb.
The minute these thieves that call themselves
politicians go into session, the stealing begins. They
pass gigantic, poorly-managed social programs that
take billions of dollars in the sweat and labor from the
millions of us that are working and transfers our
sweat to someone else, who isn't. Their so-called
safety nets discourage the work ethic and entice
others to jump on the government bandwagon so they
don't have to work either. (A free lunch for them that
isn't free for you and me) Need we mention the
millions of illegal aliens who come here by breaking
our laws and attach themselves to our schools,
hospitals and safety nets because their wages are so
low they can't exist without government assistance.
Then they send billions back to their homeland that
they gain from the exploitation of our taxes. Need we
also mention what we all saw in living color on our TV
screens from the Katrina/New Orleans event.
These so-called representatives of the people steal
your land with draconian environmental regulations
and you stand by and let them. They use your money
to buy up more private land for so-called preservation
for future generations, when in fact they should be
surplusing more land and transferring it to private
individuals instead. When government owns most of
the land, you get to pay with your taxes, their right to
mismanage that land. Need we mention forest fires
that are caused by government's mismanagement of
the land they supposedly hold in trust for you, but lock
you out of it. Forest fires that burn up hundreds, if not
thousands of homes, as well as coughing up millions
of pounds of particulates and CO2 gases into the
atmosphere, blocking out the sun and making it hard
to breath for some.
These burglars pass laws to control all human
behavior. Not just the bad guys, but all of us. They
pass smoking bans, burn bans, transfat bans, obesity
bans and other laws that ban that certain behavior
from everybody, not just the few who are the problem.
They steal from you your God-given right of free
choice. Now they are levying taxes, fees and tolls to
encourage (force) you to get out of your car because
they unilaterally believe that driving your car
contributes to man-caused global warming, with no
scientific proof that it is. They are passing land use
laws with the sole purpose of driving you out of the
rural and suburban areas and into large cities,
stacked like rats in a cage. Why? To pander to a
bunch of half wits who pray at the alter of the God of
Environmentalism and want to force us all, with the
power of government, to bow and pray to their God, as
well.
If a thief broke into your house to steal and did to you
what government is doing to you on a daily basis, you
would be furious, angry and hungry for justice. For
example, what if the government told you that to
discourage you from having any new babies
(government-mandated population control), they
passed a law that said you had to board up two of your
bedrooms in your house? Hold it you
say, "government would never do that". Oh contraire!
Government has already done it to the rural landowner
by forcing the landowner to lock up 65% of their land
that they can no longer use, just because the
landowner wanted to improve their land with a home,
a barn or a fence, or a drainage ditch. Government's
reason for passing this law? To provide open space,
clean water and aquifer re-charge for the public at
large, at the rural landowner's expense. Never mind
the equal protection clause in the U. S. Constitution.
So if the government can take rural land by just an
ordinance, without due process and just
compensation that our constitution requires, what is to
stop government from forcing you to board up two of
the bedrooms in your home to control population?
Absolutely nothing!
And if they did, what would you do about it? Nothing,
like you are doing now? Or would you fight back and
tell government to go to Hell in no uncertain terms.
Power always fills a vacuum where no other power is
present. Government power has filled the vacuum that
the CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED has left empty. If
you have your hand out to government for anything
they offer to you for free, they will instantly bind your
hands with invisible hand cuffs (laws and regulations)
and they will own you. No! They already own
you.
So what does it take to get you angry? What does it
take to wake you up? What will it take before you finally
tell government where to get off and mean it. You have
already given up the ship. Will you further give up your
dignity and your life? America and her people are a
testament to what freedom and liberty can produce.
Give it up and you will see what slavery and serfdom
produce. Nothing but more docile slaves and a
government that grows more powerful by the
day.
The inmates are still in charge of the asylum.
How much will you give up to the inmates,
before you fight back? Ron Ewart,
President
