California Cat-astrophe

Daniel Richards, president of the California Fish and Game Commission, legally shot a mountain lion in Northern Idaho.  But, when his photo was posted in an outdoor publication, the animal rights whackos wanted his neck.  Why?  Because lion hunting in California is illegal.

Although this program contains unnecessary and vague language requiring mentored hunters to “stay at arm’s length” of an adult mentor, Michigan’s Mentored Youth Hunting Program is a significant step in the right direction.

Whackos Aircraft Shot Down

Steve Hindi, president of SHARK (SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness), said  his group was preparing to launch its Mikrokopter drone to video what he called  a live pigeon shoot on Sunday when law enforcement officers and an attorney  claiming to represent the privately-owned plantation near Ehrhardt tried to stop  the aircraft from flying.
