Kortney Sanders and her partner, both members of Sea Worlds rescue team, were attempting to rescue a one and a half year old sea lion which had wandered onto the sand underneath some cliffs at the end of Santa Cruz in Ocean Beach.
During their initial assessment, Kortney felt a rock fall from the crowd that had gathered above. […]
As for the incident, Kortney admits harassment has become more frequent over the past year and a half since the release of the documentary “Black Fish” which criticizes Sea World and the use of Orcas in captivity.
Propaganda works. Today a rock, next week a whole mob throwing rocks. See #Shirtstorm for elucidation.
Or here’s one I saw the other day:
http://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2014/11/chewy_the_dog_is_dead_struck_b.html
Synopsis: Some guy keeps his dog tied up outside. It snowed. Some neighbor put pics of the dog in the snow on Facebook, along with a “boo-hoo its so terrible!” comment. Then an Internet lynch mob tried to get the dog owner arrested.
“The department had been monitoring the dog’s treatment since being inundated by emails and calls Tuesday morning by animal lovers outraged by Facebook postings showing the dog tied to a tree in the snow.”
Oh, and random people started showing up at the dog owner’s house to threaten him.
“The owner has been getting a lot of retaliation against him and his family, with people showing up by their house, making threats by email and phone,” Walker [county sheriff dude] said. “The family has been hiding in the home because of the unsubstantiated claims” the dog was being mistreated.”
Net result: the guy -stopped- tying the dog up, it escaped and was killed by a car. No word if the death threats have stopped, I’d expect not. Once you get these animal rights freaks stirred up it takes a while for them to find something new to obsess over.
So the Sea World types better watch their backs. Next sick sea lion call-out, if it gets mobbed on Facebook they’ll need an MRAP tank and full body armor.
I hereby renew my prophesy that open carry of personal weapons and the Code Duello will be making a comeback.
A sick sealion?
Should have just called gabby giffords husband to walk his dog nearby.
Its called culling the herd. Or whatever a group of sealions is called.
We need to learn that animals are precious, human being expendable.
Isn’t a sick sea lion called an Orca Hors d’oeuvres?
