Coyotes Win California Battle of Control

“I was chased by a coyote,” said Paul Randall, president of Carson Harbor Village Homeowners Association. “The only thing that kept the coyote from getting to me and my German shepherd was that I was able to get to a two-foot, eight-inch dowel that I have to protect myself. We are prisoners in our homes.”

So, the Association decided to snare the ‘yotes to gain their neighborhood back, but PETA and spaghetti-spined lawyers stepped in.  Their answer:  Increase liability insurance.   More here…

HSUS Wants to Ban Hunting Dogs

This from the Outdoor Wire:

Here is a warning to California hunters from the Western Outdoor News (www.wonews.com) that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) appears to be commencing a campaign against California’s hunting dogs. HSUS is supporting SB 1221, a bill that would ban the hunting of bears and bobcats with dogs. Read more

Nebraska Farmers Show Their Pride

This from Humane Watch:

We had to laugh when HSUS started its “We Are Nebraska” campaign a few days ago. An anti-agriculture group claiming to represent an agricultural state? Puh-leez.

From what we can see on HSUS’s Flickr steam, only two farmers and ranchers have submitted photos supporting HSUS’s campaign, including one who’s on HSUS’s state council. (Gee, what happened to all those 51,000 HSUS “members” in Nebraska? Maybe they don’t exist.) Read more

Missouri Coalition Defeats HSUS-Backed Ballot Initiative

Missouri citizens didn’t buy into an HSUS scheme to shove more animal-rights nonsense down their throats.  A petition drive has ended.

“Your Vote Counts was a front for HSUS so they could more effectively attack agriculture in the future, but it would have opened a floodgate of outside money on any number of issues,” says Missouri Farmers Care Treasurer Dale Ludwig “The fact that 77% of Your Vote Counts’ money came from HSUS is a pretty clear indicator that animal-rights groups wanted this change so they could attack agriculture again.”  More here…

HSUS Files Another Lawsuit

Oregon, Washington and California have delayed startup of a plan to kill sea lions in an effort to allow chinook salmon to spawn but HSUS filed suit.  The result?  A temporary restraining order.  Details here…

Update:

Oregon state authorities can resume killing California sea lions that feast on endangered salmon bottled up at a dam on the Columbia River, but less than one-third as many as federal biologists previously had authorized, a judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg in Washington, D.C., denied the Humane Society of the United States’ request to stop the killing at the Bonneville Dam while a lawsuit challenging the program goes forward. However, he limited the killing to 30 animals per year rather than the 92 authorized by federal authorities, and ordered that none of them may be shot.

Whackos Hate Coyote Bounty

“We think it’s ridiculous to send the public out there to [kill coyotes],” the whacko said. “For example, if someone is living in St. George and they go and they bring back a bunch of ears of coyotes, there might not even be a problem in that area.”  However, if there is a problem, I’m wondering why the activists don’t live trap the coyotes and move them to their neighborhood.

In any case, Utah has now imposed an additional fee of $5 on big-game licenses to pay for the higher bounty being offered.  More here…

Whackos Release Penned Pheasants

Animal-rights whackos claimed  they jumped a barbed-wire fence in Oregon and removed a section of an aviary that held between 75-150 pheasants, “liberating them into the night sky.”   Apparently, the activists believe it is better for the birds to die a slow, painful death by starvation, because anyone that knows anything, knows they will never be able to fend for themselves.  That’s just the way it is.  More on the misdirected whacko initiative here…

Whackos Lose Court Battle over Wolf Delisting

“Personally, I’m very saddened by this ruling,” said Michael Robinson, of the Center for Biological Diversity. “We’ve already  lost hundreds of wolves before the job of recovery is anywhere complete. And the  ecosystem has taken a hit, as well as these wolves are killed.”

If it’s bad for the whackos, it’s good for normal people.  The scoop is here…

HSUS for Uninformed Simpletons

Over at Western Outdoor News, Bill Karr writes about an ongoing HSUS-manufactured “scandal” in California. The head of the state’s Fish and Game Commission went and recently hunted a mountain lion in Idaho. The catch? Mountain lion hunting has been off limits in California for the past few decades. It’s legal in Idaho, but HSUS’s fur is flying anyway. Read more
