Big Brother PETA to Use Drones

By Glen Wunderlich

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has earned the number three ranking on the United States Sportsmen’s Alliance’s (USSA) dirty dozen list and for good reason:  PETA steadfastly encourages its members to break established hunter harassment laws and to interfere with hunts by protesting, blowing horns, and other unlawful acts.  Recent headlines indicate the group is striving to become number one on the dirty dozen list by its overt action to purchase drones to stalk hunters afield.

According to USSA, the drones will be sold in PETA’s catalog for $324.99. Based on the drone description in the catalog, PETA members can receive instant to-your-phone video from the drones, which can be streamed live via the Air Angels page on PETA.org.

PETA says it aims to specifically seek out hunters “drinking while in the possession of a firearm, injuring animals and failing to pursue them so that they die slowly and painfully, and using spotlights, feed lures and other hunting tricks”.

While PETA claims to be spying on “hunters”, the actions it seeks to exploit – to further its agenda by changing man’s relationship with animals – is actually directed at anti-hunters.  That’s right.  Anti-hunter is the only term for those that intentionally skirt the law by cheating ethical hunters.  The “by-any-means” practice reminds me of how our own government relied upon the same tactics.

The Dirty Dozen

Courtesy of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (www.ussportsmen.org)

There are groups that undermine and manipulate systems across America to end hunting, trapping and fishing. These same “less-than-honest” groups also often then exploit wildlife and conservation issues in the name of raising dollars for their devious causes. Here are a dozen organizations that have taken efforts in the past year to prevent you from hunting or trapping: Read more

HumaneWatch and HSUS at Conference

HumaneWatch was in sunny San Diego last weekend at the 2012 American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Convention. We had an exhibit booth in the main hall along with a plethora of companies promoting products to a few thousand veterinarians who attended the event. And to stir things up a bit, a Humane Society of the United States group had a booth, too.

AVMA Convention

It didn’t take long for our first visitor to stop by and say a kind word. It was an exhibitor, a few minutes before the hall opened on Saturday. He was from the veterinary technician field and said his company worked with a lot of hands-on local shelter, and was already “in the know” about the confusion between the Humane Society of the U.S. and local shelters and how little HSUS gives to shelters.

We figured it would be a fairly friendly crowd, but it definitely exceeded our expectations. Read more

HSUS Deception is National

New Report: HSUS Deception on a National Scale

This from HumaneWatch.org…

We’ve written before about the deceptive fundraising practices on the Humane Society of the United States. Despite its name, HSUS is not related to your local pet shelters, though public polling finds that most Americans think it is. Even 80 percent of HSUS donors think that HSUS “misleads people into thinking that it supports local humane societies and pet shelters.” View the full report here. Read more

PETA Squeals Like Pigs

This from my friends at U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance…

Just when you thought you’d seen, heard and read it all from the wackos and animal right radicals at PETA—think again. The clueless folks there recently urged their followers and others in Florida to oppose a proposed wild boar (or feral hog) hunt. The hunt was planned in Sarasota County to reduce problem swine populations.

PETA was really squealing like pigs because the proposed hunting plan would also have permitted the use of dogs to pursue problem pigs. And yes, there would ultimately be hog hunting, killing, and roasting. Read more

Non-Humans Don’t Get Constitutional Protection

Both historic and contemporary sources reveal that the terms “slavery” and “involuntary servitude” refer only to persons. In 1864, the term “slavery” was defined as “[t] he condition of a slave; the state of entire subjection of one person to the will of another.” .??.??. The clear language and historical context reveal that only human beings, or persons, are afforded the protection of the 13th Amendment.  Of course, PETA argued against the common sense of the ruling above, while SeaWorld was found innocent of enslaving whales.  More here…

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 Doesn’t Like “The Grey” Flick

Last week, HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle took to his blog to vent about a new Hollywood flick called “The Grey,” starring Liam Neeson. The basic plot is that a plane crashes in the frozen wilderness and Neeson and six other survivors struggle to make it back to civilization, while being molested by a pack of wolves.   Pacelle warned people to “stay away.” His gripe is that “The Grey”—a fictional movie—takes liberties with how grey wolves really act.

Pacelle’s solution is to watch “Babe”—a movie with talking animals—or “Bambi,” a Disney cartoon. Does anybody else see the irony here?

The political correctness coming from the animal rights movement is ridiculous. Read more

PETA and HSUS at Odds Over Horse Slaughter

This from Humane Watch

There’s been a lot of press devoted recently to the possible (probable?) reinstatement of horse slaughter in the United States. As expected, HSUS made hay out of horse slaughter’s potential return—while, oddly, HSUS’s little sister in the animal rights movement, PETA, had a different take. Speaking to the Christian Science Monitor, PETA co-founder Ingrid Newkirk said:

It’s quite an unpopular position we’ve taken. There was a rush to pass a bill that said you can’t slaughter them anymore in the United States. But the reason we didn’t support it, which sets us almost alone, is the amount of suffering that it created exceeded the amount of suffering it was designed to stop. Read more

The Dirty Dozen Against Outdoorsmen

Compliments of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance/ www.ussportsmen.org
1/9/12

As 2012 begins, it’s important to take note of groups that are working against your opportunities to hunt, trap, fish and enjoy the outdoors. To that effect, here is what we call The Dirty Dozen:

1)   Humane Society of the United States or HSUS—needs no commentary or introduction to hunters and trappers everywhere, but Read more
