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

Emotion and Logic at Odds in California Legislature

By Glen Wunderlich

Daniel Richards, president of California’s Fish and Game Commission, is often at odds with animal-activist groups over his support of hunting as a viable means to manage wildlife.    A recent hunting trip resulted in a total of 40 Democrat state Assembly members demanding that he resign.   His crime?  Legally killing a mountain lion in Idaho.
