The movie is about a group that survives a plane crash in a remote part of Alaska and their biggest obstacle to surviving is dealing with a pack of wild grey wolves. The perverse wolf worshipers object to how the movie portrays wolves. Wendy Keefover, of WildEarth Guardians, an extreme radical animal rights group that places the life of animals over that of humans, says of her venerated killing machines: “You know wolves are expressive, intelligent and emotive beings, and the crisis is not wolves killing people, but literally wolves being wiped out.”

In an attempt to put things into perspective for rational thinking people, a publicist for the promotion of the movie says: “But just like ‘Jaws’ and ‘Little Red Riding Hood,”The Grey’ is a work of entertainment.”

Perverse animal worship to these extremes appears to me to be some form of a neurotic disorder that blocks the ability of a person’s brain from rational thinking, denying them a very basic understanding between what is real and what is fantasy. In this case, they obviously cannot understand the simple concept of visual entertainment.

This is a story that should NEVER be found in America.

A family from Missouri decides to rescue a couple of rabbits in order to use as a tool to teach their son about responsibility etc.; a tried and true American implement of child rearing. Abiding by all the laws that regulate rabbit rearing and selling in Missouri, the family, in time, begins selling their offspring to friends and neighbors. The rabbits are so well cared for, pet stores, theme parks, etc. all wanted to get their hands on some of these rabbits.

All is working extremely well until……you guessed it. The Federal Government, i.e. the U.S. Department of Agriculture sticks their noses into the issue, even though the Missouri family was not required to be licensed and inspected by the USDA.

Now, the family has to pay a fine of over $90,000 because of some vague and obscure law that says it is illegal to sell more than $500 worth of rabbits in one year. The family sold $4,600 worth of rabbits and profited $200. If the family fails to pay the fine by the deadline, additional charges, penalties and fines will add up to $4 million.

Only in America? Sad! Really, really sad.

Here is an update as of October 29th as this case moves to Washington, D.C.

I remind readers that President Barack Obama appointed Cass Sunstein as his Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs czar. In this report I filed nearly three years ago, it was revealed that Sunstein supports and promotes the perverted notion that animals should be allowed to bring lawsuits and that humans should be their representatives. It is easy at present, at least to some of us, to acknowledge that this lawsuit written about below is absurd, but it is not logical to dismiss it entirely. As is pointed out below, PETA is seeking publicity in order to raise money but history tells us that a certain incrementalism and desensitizing of our society results in future gains by such evil and demented thinkers as Cass Sunstein and others like PETA.

Washington, D.C. – Members of the Project 21 black leadership network are amused and appalled at the latest publicity stunt from the radical People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals “animal rights” group. PETA is suing to take control of five killer whales away from the SeaWorld marine parks, claiming the whales are being held and forced to perform as “slaves” in violation of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“Oops! I just fell out of my chair. PETA’s comparison of SeaWorld and slavery insults the remains of hundreds of thousands of slaves who are buried across the American South,” said Project 21′s Deroy Murdock, a Scripps-Howard nationally-syndicated columnist. “To equate performing killer whales with human beings who suffered the worst possible exploitation short of actual genocide makes the jaw drop. Half of me wants to laugh. The other half wonders if I have been whisked from Earth to another planet.”

Last week, the PETA filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California to release killer whales named Corky, Katina, Ulises, Tilikum and Kasatka “from bondage” in the SeaWorld theme parks in San Diego, California and Orlando, Florida. The court is being asked to appoint a legal guardian for the whales and also to award PETA attorney’s fees and related costs.

The PETA legal team, which reportedly spent 18 months preparing the 20-page legal complaint, argues the whales are being illegally detained in violation of the 13th Amendment’s prohibition against slavery and involuntary servitude. PETA General Counsel Jeff Kerr explained the team’s logic: “Slavery is slavery, and it does not depend on the species of the slave any more than it depends on gender, race or religion.”

“Even Free Willy would likely find PETA’s lawsuit comical,” said Project 21 spokesman Ak’bar Shabazz. “If we are awarding these whales aspects of humanity, shouldn’t we also be looking for their Harriet Tubman to spirit the whole pod back to the open sea? And who’s protecting the rights of the seals and fish these killer whales ruthlessly hunt in the wild? But, to be serious, for PETA to invoke slavery and seek to employ the anti-slavery provisions of the 13th Amendment to advocate for animal performers is ignorant of the past and the treatment of real slaves at best and revisionist at worst. It’s a slap in the face to those who suffered in bondage as well as their descendants.”

Marine parks such as those in the SeaWorld chain are already regulated under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. SeaWorld officials released a statement calling PETA’s legal reasoning “baseless and in many ways offensive.”

“For PETA to compare penning killer whales to human slavery would be hysterical if it wasn’t so offensive. Our ancestors were raped, whipped, taken from their families, stripped of their religion and culture and defined as property. This is a perfect example of how the left now defines everything as a ‘civil rights movement’ — diluting the history of slavery and human cruelty,” said Project 21 spokeswoman Shelby Emmett. “If our children are taught SeaWorld is the equivalent to the plantation, how will they ever understand the evils of slavery? Sadly, it seems that PETA, like the plantation owners of our past, also think humans are animals.”

David Favre, a law professor at Michigan State University who has advocated for a new legal designation of “living property” that would help advance an “animal rights” agenda, told the Washington Post that he doubts a judge will rule that PETA has legal standing to advance the case, saying, “a court would not be predisposed to open up that box with fully unknown consequences.”

GroupSnoop.org, an educational web site administered by the National Center for Public Policy Research, recently posted a profile of PETA , noting that the group may be best known for its use of outrageous stunts that attract attention to its message. It quotes PETA saying “[u]nlike our opposition, which is mostly composed of wealthy industries and corporations, PETA must rely on getting free ‘advertising’ through media coverage… not surprisingly, colorful and ‘controversial’ demonstrations and campaigns like activists stripping to ‘go naked instead of wearing fur’ consistently grab headlines.” As such, the whales lawsuit may be as much, or more, about publicity than about prevailing in the courts.

Project 21, a leading voice of black conservatives for nearly two decades, is sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research (http://www.nationalcenter.org).

In my daily routine of scouring the news, I ran into the story more than once and I just couldn’t put it down. Here’s a report from the Boston Herald.

Here’s a video of one CBS news report:

The report did not give the actual size of this particular maze but the company that designed it said their average maze was 8-10 acres in size. Judging from the view in the video, I think this maze would be hard pressed to total up to 8 acres. Regardless, how do you get lost in a corn field even if it was 10 acres?

As kids we rode our bicycles through corn fields. It’s a cornfield. It’s not some impenetrable hedged maze or one made of concrete or immovable walls. It’s a corn field. If you were smack dab in the middle of the maze, it appears you would be no more than a football field in length, perhaps a bit more from the highway. They couldn’t hear traffic and decide to walk toward the sound through the corn plants?

Did you catch that video report at the end. The reporter said the couple heard the police when they arrived. They were 25 feet from the exit. Who let these people out.

I wonder if these people lose their common sense as well as sense of direction when they enter a shopping mall?

Here’s a photo again of that PETA billboard ad:

So, I got creative, albeit a bit on the rudimentary side, and made my own picture. Do you think PETA would be interested in this one?

Or is this one any better? I couldn’t decide.

Is this photo “over the top“? You decide.

What I do find, not necessarily over the top but ignorant, radical and extreme are some of the PETA comments found in the Fox News piece:

“With the shark attack in the news, we thought it’d be a good time to remind people that sharks are not the world’s biggest predator — we are.”

“People have the choice to be kind every time they sit down to a meal,” she continued. “We hope the billboard will lead to Floridians choosing a healthy vegan diet.”

“We’re glad that Mr. Wickersham [suffered from shark attack] is going to be OK,” she said. “We hope that after this experience he considers the pain and terror that fish feel when they are impaled and suffocated to death.”

No, I’m not kidding you! Watch!

While most legitimate outdoor sportsmen find little use for poachers, I think I would rather see them go unmolested for a time before I would work with the likes of such an illegitimate organization as HSUS. Acknowledging their efforts in these programs and working with them simply gives them credibility where none is deserved.

HSUS claims it is working with 11 states, although they would not list them. They also said “tens of millions” of animals are poached without offering proof.

It says something about the fish and game departments that are willing partners of HSUS. Ironic isn’t it that HSUS would really like to destroy the very things these game officials do.
