Animal rights advocates will single out small children at performances of ``The Nutcracker'' in the next few weeks by handing out fliers saying ``Your Mommy Kills Animals'' to youngsters whose mothers are wearing fur.      ``Children can't look up to a mom in a battered-raccoon hat or a crushed coyote collar,'' said Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. ``Maybe when they're confronted by their own children's hurt looks, fur-wearers' cold hearts will melt.''      The fliers include a color drawing of a woman plunging a large bloody knife into the belly of a terrified rabbit. The fliers...

Fur flies over flier: PETA targets ‘Nutcracker’ kids By David Weber Wednesday, December 17, 2003 Animal rights advocates will single out small children at performances of ``The Nutcracker'' in the next few weeks by handing out fliers saying ``Your Mommy Kills Animals'' to youngsters whose mothers are wearing fur. ``Children can't look up to a mom in a battered-raccoon hat or a crushed coyote collar,'' said Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. ``Maybe when they're confronted by their own children's hurt looks, fur-wearers' cold hearts will melt.''

Fox news announces that the environmentalist whackos have now identified that there are as many as 500 types of dirt that might be endangered. (hello????) The dirt or soil is supposedly different than some other types of dirt and we should not build and destroy this dirt. Great way to stop building and progress.

Greetings Will, Sorry I have been out of touch! I do appreciate you keeping me posted and this thing is always in my thoughts. Your latest email reminded me of an incident that occurred last archery season with one of my guides and his hunters: Joe and Mike were glassing for elk on "Bucks Knob", a point which allows one to overlook nearly the entire East side of Dome Mountain. Joe and Mike had been hunting all week, the elk being the normal, elusive critters they are. Joe and Mike were good matches as far as hunters and guides go....

Thursday, September 25, 2003 By Theresa D. Mcclellan The Grand Rapids Press MECOSTA COUNTY -- Martiny Township Fire Chief Aaron Holsworth was worried enough Monday as a bomb squad investigated homemade incendiary devices discovered at Ice Mountain Spring Water Co.'s pumping station. On Wednesday, the chief learned the radical and violent Earth Liberation Front claimed responsibility. "It kind of changes my whole outlook," he said. Holsworth and his family live across the street from the pumping station on 13 Mile Road east of Big Rapids. "When an organization this big, that is known throughout the whole country, is making their...

Animals Suffer a Perpetual 'Holocaust' By Stephen R. Dujack Stephen R. Dujack is the editor of an environmental magazine in Washington and a writer. Isaac Bashevis Singer fled Nazi Europe in 1935 and came to this country. He married my grandmother, who had escaped from Hitler's Germany in 1940.

<p>DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A correspondent for the satellite station Al-Jazeera said Saturday a possible new Al Qaeda statement he received threatened more attacks in New York and Washington unless America stops supporting Israel and converts to Islam.</p> <p>The new statement was unsigned.</p>

There are young sex doctors in the Islamic world nowadays. They are trying to find out with their European and American colleagues what Arab sex is like in the up-to-date world. There was recently a conference held in Lebanon that gathered graduates from Oxford, Colombia University, and the American university in Beirut. It was discovered after the first day of the conference that Islamic countries do not practice romantic sex, the description of which can be found in book of Shekherezade’s fairytales, “1001 Night." Instead of romance, Islamic sex characterized by sexual roughness, brutality towards children, and bloody violence. Some...

If the leaders gathered at this week's World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg really want to save the environment, they should concentrate less on eco-rhetoric, and more on promoting the free-market conditions that permit poor nations to become rich: The simple truth is that countries grow cleaner as they grow wealthier -- no matter whether they've self-consciously dedicated themselves to "sustainable" policies (whatever those are) or not. Singapore, the wealthiest state in Asia, is also its cleanest, despite being one of the continent's largest per capita manufacturers. Canada and the United States -- which Friends of the Earth...

Feral FrenzyEugene's wild cat population is growing, but is killing them or caring for them the best solution?  By Jacquelyn LewisKatrina Holmes and Jared Kahn (above) have been busy feeding the homeless for the past year. A well-worn path leads to the door of their small apartment, where weary feet tread every morning and night, in search of food, water and perhaps a little love.In between feedings, you can find the likes of Zion, Sunshine, Snow and Moon lounging in the bushes or stretching their bodies in the sun. Just like any other homeless population, the cats have hard...

Just heard a live interview with Republican Bill Campbell on KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles. He reported that the Republicans in the legislature have forced anti-SUV bill AB1493 to governor Davis' desk. This gives Davis 12 days in which to sign or veto the bill. Democrats in the legislature had been bottling up the already-passed bill in order to head off a potential initiative challenge from opponents. Had they succeeded in delaying passing the bill to Davis until the legislature adjourned, opponents would not have had enough time to gather the 420,000 signatures necessary to get a recission initiative...

For years I've been laughing my butt off reading the pet names posters here at FreeRepublic have for our favorite repugnant liberals and others. I swear there have been hundreds, and Bill and Hillary have many for each one of them. From Car-vile to Dash-hole to Hitlery to Dan Blather to the Ex-Felon-in-Chief, I have spewed a lot of coffee on the keyboard many mornings reading these great, satirical offerings by everyone here. A couple days ago it occurred to me that a long list of these should be made for all our benefits. The one I read the other...
