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…

Beware of Dangerous Ash Trees

By Glen Wunderlich

It’s hard to estimate the number of ash trees killed by the emerald ash borer, but in Michigan alone, the total is in the millions. Firewood? Everyone now has ash. Its straight grain makes for easy splitting and its low moisture content means it can be burned for heat before other hardwoods. But, standing ash trees can also become dangerous shortly after they die and even the seasoned professionals must back off at times.

According to GregWeinert of Weinert’s Tree Service (989-729-TREE) all ash trees should be treated as dangerous. After a short wal kalong the Looking Glass River recently, it became evident what he was talking about. Some of the ash tress rolled over, stump and all. Read more

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

American Indian Tribes Opposed to Wisconsin Wolf Hunting

The Great Lakes Indian Fish and Game Commission, which represents 11 tribes of the Ojibwe (also known as the Chippewa, or Anishinaabe) in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, opposes the hunting of wolves because of religious beliefs and tradition.

They are taught that Ma’iingan (wolf) is a brother to Original man.  The rub is here…

Interestingly, native Indians find it acceptable to kill bald eagles and the story is here…
