Caligula inspired: In a welcome dose of sanity, Oregon judge John Knowles threw out a lawsuit filed by animal rights activists that would have given a horse legal standing to sue.

Somebody wants to be your new window police.

We are looking for ALL information about birds hitting windows…. How many hit and FLY AWAY; How many hit and DIE, and, of course, please bring us your INJURED birds!!
CALL us, or the WBU store (306-955-2473) to report a “window strike”! (Date, address, species, outcome?)
 
We will be tracking this data to more fully understand the number of birds impacted by unprotected windows, with the hope that we can advocate for change in the future!!

I wonder what “change” they have in mind?

The left owns the media, the courts, and the law schools. It can and will happen here.

VEGANS may brand milk production “inhumane” after the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled in favour of an activist group’s anti-dairy campaign.

The story is from 2017, but the fact that so-called conservative legislators aren’t getting out in front of this creeping insanity with protective legislation for agriculture and related industries is a study in incompetence. They’ve learned nothing from the attacks on the fossil fuel industry, and they’re sitting on their hands as agriculture is being taken apart piece by piece.

Call your MLA and tell them to get moving on right to farm and anti-animal rights legislation.

Protect The Harvest;

As you read this, the third of ten scheduled trials is underway for nuisance lawsuits that have been filed against Smithfield Foods. With the momentum gaining after the first two victories, something big needs to happen to get this stopped. In the first trial, the jury awarded the Plaintiff $50 million in punitive damages and in the second, $25 million, which are both illegal actions according to NC statues. Furthermore, North Carolina has a “Right to Farm” law that should have provided protection to the farmers but it did not.

If this had happened to a member of the general public, the Edmonton Humane Society would’ve had them charged and their animals seized so fast it would make your head spin.

Instead…

They sat on it for nearly 7 weeks.

“IN” Burnaby.

Amanda Dycke said she knew something bad had happened to her son when she heard the toddler scream on Tuesday.

 

She ran outside to find her three-year-old lying in the road, being attacked by a coyote.

 

“I saw the coyote on his head, chewing on his head,” she said.

 

Dycke’s son, Ayden Ramm, needed 148 stitches after the attack outside the family backyard in Burnaby, B.C.

 

It was the first of two coyote attacks in Metro Vancouver within 24 hours this week.

Just shoot the damned things. Both our species will be better off for it.

Bon appétit!

More (and a poll): “the most brilliant marketing campaign ever.”

Rush Limbaugh, the sea otter rescue revisited;

So what happened was there was an otter. Folks, otters, when they’re in the water are the cutest little things. They’re rodents for the most part. They’re just giant rats, but they’re like squirrels, a tree rat. They look cute as opposed to rats. And the otters are in the water and their two little paws are sticking out and they’re looking up. Everyone loves ’em and they found one just soaked in Exxon Valdez oil.
So they rescued the thing and they took it away to clean it up, and they spent $80,000 cleaning up this one otter. The point of the story was the insurance company had to pay that money, $80,000 to clean up. And the day came where it was a successful project, they’re gonna release the otter back into Prince William Sound. And it was a momentous day for the community. It represented overcoming this ecological disaster. It meant saving an animal from the evil clutches of humanity behaving as it does, destroying the planet every day.
They let kids out of school. They had like high school bands and stuff. It was like a parade and they had the little otter in a cage and they’re rolling it down the street, eventually down to the pier or the dock where they’re gonna release it to great fanfare. And the mayor, everybody is making speeches about what a wonderful thing that had been done here in saving the otter and cleaning it up, it was a symbol of what we could all do when working together, when we can put everything aside and come together and kumbaya and work for one idealistic goal, to save animals from the evils of oil spills.
And they let the kids out of school, first graders, second graders, they’re so happy ’cause the otter is so cute. They even named the otter, I forget what the name was. It came time to release it, they lowered the cage, and after the cage was officially offshore, they opened the door to the cage and the otter swam out and it was sitting there like otters do on its back with its two front paws up looking cute as hell. And before anybody knew what had happened a giant orca came out of nowhere and swallowed the thing, just ate it like sushi, it was otter sushi.

I was reminded of it, that’s all.

City Watch;

On November 28, Commissioner Roger Wolfson, one of Mayor Eric Garcetti’s appointees to the Los Angeles Animal Services’ Commission, brought a group of “experts” and speakers to convince the Commission to approve changing all LA city shelter dogs to a meatless diet. […]
Wolfson’s invited-speakers/experts included a civil-rights attorney; Cheri Shankar, a volunteer fundraiser for the Mayor, who is also a member of the Board of Directors of The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) Legislative Fund, several veterinarians, and techno-artist Moby.

Politco;

The women said Shapiro, the vice president of Farm Animal Protection, asked them to have sex and told lewd jokes in the office, according to a POLITICO investigation based on new interviews with seven current and former employees, including four of the women who filed the complaint. According to interviews, emails and an internal document reviewed by POLITICO, Shapiro suggested a female employee should “take one for the team” by having sex with a donor, sent pornography and lewd emails to male employees and discussed with colleagues his sexual philosophies, such as having as many sexual partners as possible. His alleged behavior, staffers say, led to the resignations of no fewer than five employees from 2015 to late 2017.

Now, just over a year later, the [Humane Society of the United States], one of the largest animal rights groups in the country, finds itself ensnared in a widening controversy over sexual harassment in the upper levels of the nonprofit’s management. An outside law firm has investigated allegations against CEO Wayne Pacelle that date back to 2005, according to a memo obtained by the Washington Post. The memo details a perception, based on 33 interviews, that women could get ahead in the workplace by becoming romantically involved with Pacelle. One of the women reported that Pacelle, on a work trip in 2006, asked her to take off her clothes and perform oral sex, and asked her whether he could masturbate in front of her. Pacelle has denied the allegations.

When they say “largest”, they really mean “richest”.
