Stop the Bison Slaughter
By Greg Lawson - ParkStRanger@aol.com
Since
1984 I have been proud to be a National Park Service ranger, I have also been
deeply ashamed that the NPS has been unable to protect the very animal which is
it's symbol, the bison, also known as the American buffalo. Since the
year I became a ranger, the state of Montana has slaughtered over 3500 bison
who wandered outside the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park onto other
public land in the Gallatin National Forest. The Park Service and the
Forest Service have assisted the Montana Department of Livestock to capture and
destroy these buffalo.
The US Forest Service, which mismanages much of our federal land, is a branch
of the Department of Agriculture and still operates under the notion that
cattle grazing, logging and mining are the most productive uses of the
wilderness. The National Park Service maintains over 370 parks,
monuments, memorials and other areas including Yellowstone which is home to the
last wild, free roaming herd of bison.
More than 200 bison were senselessly slaughtered this last winter and spring to
protect the interests of a handful of cattle ranchers. I had hoped that
the killing was over for this season at Yellowstone, but on Wednesday, June 5,
the Montana Department of Livestock shot two more bison.
In late May, the Montana DOL stopped testing the bison they captured for
brucellosis, which has been the excuse they have used to justify the
killing. The cattle ranchers were worried about this disease, supposedly.
But, there has never been a case of bison transmitting brucellosis to cows in
the wild. The elk of the region also carry the brucellosis bacteria and have
passed the disease to cattle. But Montana doesn't cull the elk because
elk hunting brings in millions of dollars to the state's economy. The
truth is, the cattle industry of Montana considers buffalo pests and they feel
they are the ones who should control the wildlife and lands in Montana.
It's a range war between the state and federal government.
Over the next 15 years, the federal government plans to spend $45 million to
haze, capture and slaughter bison that wander outside Yellowstone Park.
Almost all the bison wander into one livestock grazing allotment in the
Gallatin National Forest, an allotment that returns to the government less than
$800 a year in grazing fees and which isn't even grazed by Montana livestock,
but by cows trucked in from Idaho.
On May 30th, U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina ordered a halt to cattle
grazing at Horse Butte, land near Yellowstone National Park's western border,
until the U.S. Forest Service does an impact assessment and determines how
cattle grazing affects bison and other wildlife. This is a major victory
which will put a hold on grazing in the area until 2004. Read about this
decision here... bison:

Pets Have Rights, Too
By Sarah Duran - sarah.duran@mail.tribnet.com
The News Tribune
http://search.tribnet.com/archive/archive30/0603a11.html
Cheryl
Shute didn't know what to do after animal control took her dog, Kenny, because
he bit a delivery man at her Bremerton home last February.
Shute's primary worry was that her 3-year-old bull mastiff-golden labrador mix
would be put to death. After a few frantic weeks trying to free him from the
pound, Shute called Seattle lawyer Adam Karp.
Within a week, Kenny was off doggie death row. "I couldn't have done
it without him," Shute said. "They (animal control) wouldn't even
listen to me."
Vicious-dog ordinances are just one way laws affect animals. Courts
increasingly are dealing with animal-related issues, ranging from
landlord-tenant disputes and custody battles to veterinarian malpractice and
negligence.
Recognizing the trend, the Washington State Bar Association recently became the
fourth bar to create a section for lawyers interested in animal law. Earlier
efforts were in Texas, Michigan and the District of Columbia.
The new section gives them a forum for discussing issues and educating the
public on animal rights, said Karp, who led efforts to create the section.
Ideally, attorneys with different philosophies will join, including those who
represent veterinarians and agribusiness, Karp said. So far 85 lawyers have
said they plan to join.
Five other states are looking at creating animal-law sections, said Stephen
Wells, director of the law professional volunteer program for the Animal Legal
Defense Fund in Petaluma, Calif.
Wells credits animal protection groups with focusing the public's attention on
animal rights. High-profile abuse cases, such as the California man who killed
a dog two years ago by throwing it into traffic, also raise awareness.
Even criminal cases, such as the second-degree murder conviction earlier this
year of a San Francisco woman after her two dogs killed a neighbor, can educate
the public.
"I really think animal law is something that's come of age," Wells
said.
As a result, some law schools have begun offering animal-law classes, although
none in Washington currently offers such courses. There's even a journal
dedicated to animal-law issues, Animal Law, published by the Northwestern
School of Law of Lewis & Clark College in Portland.
Animals intersect with the law in many ways. Cruelty and dog bite cases are
among the most common, local attorneys say. Other cases include:
* Protecting the rights of people who use service dogs.
* Resolving billing disputes with businesses that board animals. In the
worst-case scenario, the operator may threaten to euthanize or sell the animal
unless the bill is paid.
* Suing veterinarians for malpractice.
* Establishing trust funds for pets in case their owners die.
* Defending owners from civil suits after their animals attack.
Attorneys who take animal cases say the biggest problem with the law is that it
views animals as property. That ignores the emotional attachment people have to
their animals, they say.
As a result, insurance companies, some lawyers and others consider only
replacement value when compensating someone for pets that are injured or
killed.
"They're more than just property," said Tacoma attorney Elizabeth
Powell, whose clients have included owners of dogs and horses. "They're
not a book or a chair."
Karp, who refers to owners as "guardians," goes even further. He
believes animals themselves should be able to sue.
"That's going to sound crazy," he said. "But in animal-cruelty
cases, why shouldn't there be some sort of penalty or punishment, some
acknowledgement the dog can seek compensation, in addition to the impact on his
guardians?"
These lawyers consider themselves animal lovers who take the cases to right a
wrong or to push the courts into recognizing animal rights. The cases rarely are
money-makers; they say it's not unusual for the lawyers to work for free.
"You have to do a lot of it on a discounted basis because people that
usually have these kinds of cases aren't wealthy and they don't have
insurance," said Gig Harbor lawyer G. Paul Mabrey, who worked 22 years as
a veterinarian before entering the law profession five years ago.
"You've got to do it because you love it. It's a labor of love," said
Mabrey, who is particularly interested in cases involving horse contracts and
registries.
Shute, the Bremerton owner of Kenny, said going to Karp was well worth the $85
she spent in attorney's fees. Hiring someone familiar with animal rights helped
get Kenny out quickly because the lawyer knew what to do.
Kenny had never bitten anyone before, Shute said. He attacked only after it
appeared the delivery man was about to hit her with a clipboard. Karp suggested
she collect written testimonials to Kenny's prior good behavior, including
letters from delivery people.
His advice paid off and she was able to free Kenny.
"If it wasn't for Adam, I would never have gotten him back," Shute
said.

Protest Cat-Killing Law in
Akron
From ACALA Pet Issues - acala_pet_issues@hotmail.com
The
Akron, Ohio, City Council is planning on spending several hundred thousand
dollars to capture and kill an estimated 2,000-3,500 cats and kittens this year
alone. So far, public pressure on them has prevented funding from being approved,
but it's likely that they will eventually get the funding in through the back
door.
Akron cats need help. Please visit the following website for additional

Marketing 101
For Animal Rights Activists & Vegans
By Brenda Shoss - Kinship.Circle@att.net
Coca
Cola. Budweiser. PETA. Yep, PETA. Whatever your opinion of the animal rights
titan -- People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals has become a household
brand name. Even your Republican in-laws recognize PETA as a buzz word for
animal advocacy.
In one form or another, all non-profits and businesses could benefit from a bit
of PETA-like public relations. As animal rights/vegan momentum accelerates,
organizations need to keep pace with the expanding consumer market. Yet many
enterprises are overwhelmed by the financial magnitude of a professional
marketing plan. Ad agencies, freelancers, photographers, illustrators or
writers will periodically work at reduced rates for charitable causes. Any
group or business can implement a few Marketing 101 tools to enhance its image.
Two key components must be in place when an organization places products or
principles before the public eye: 1. A visually consistent presence, and 2. A
clear call to action.
Invest in a sophisticated logo that shapes the public's perception of your
message or merchandise. A logo is the cornerstone for ongoing recognition. With
repeated use, it becomes synonymous with your group's mission. Logos should
appear on business forms, print or TV ads, websites and other promotional
vehicles.
Develop a signature look for all display materials. A custom concept may be as
simple as maintaining logo, layout, and fonts throughout a campaign. For
example, if variously sized print ads are to appear in multiple publications,
all should incorporate the same memorable "gimmick." A uniform
promotion might utilize a handwritten-style headline and textured frames around
photos. Or, all key words might appear in reverse (white letters on colored
background). The creative possibilities are endless. But once you unveil your
ingenuity -- commit to it for all related publicity. Haphazard marketing only
boggles the average reader who possesses a three-second attention span.
Include a clear call to action. Is your goal to recruit members, encourage
action, sell goods, or advertise an event? Once you have determined your main
objective, draw people in with a striking photo or illustration and
to-the-point headline. To avoid a negative reaction, never overload AR/vegan
ads with too much required reading or accusatory copy.
Determine who you want to reach. Does your target market have a specific age
range, political bias, income/education level, or gender? Research which
publications, geographic regions or mediums (print, mail, billboard, TV, radio,
internet) cater to your desired demographic.
Next, develop a media itinerary. For maximum response to recruitment or
product-sale appeals, ads or mailers ought to appear frequently in newspapers
or zip codes that target the consumers most likely to respond. These ongoing
promos can be affordably produced in smaller sizes in one or two colors.
Event-specific promos, on the other hand, ought to be large attention-grabbers,
in full color when budget permits, to reach a big cross section in a limited
time frame. Run anti-fur ads in mass circulation papers around Fur-Free Friday
and the holidays. Coordinate anti-vivisection ads or billboards with
international initiatives such as World Week for Animals in Laboratories.
Arrange plugs for vegetarianism to coincide with MeatOut or other large scale
drives. And time literature about the abuse of animals in circuses to appear
with a visiting exhibitor¹s advertisements. This "layering effect"
promises the most bang for your advertising buck.
The ultimate scenario is to build enough credibility and curiosity to elicit
free news coverage. When the St. Louis Animal Rights Team circulated press
releases about its anti-vivisection billboards, reporters from ABC, CBS and WB
affiliates contacted them for a story. Some publications will run complimentary
editorial in conjunction with your display ads.
As an incentive for customers, retailers can earmark part of their proceeds for
charities. Snooty Jewelry owner Jeanine Taylor, who designs animal-free
accessories for the conscientiously clad, advertises her Round Up For Change
Program and Snooty Jewelry Party Fundraisers via the internet,
mailings and point-of-purchase displays. Shoppers are inclined to become
patrons when they learn that their purchases help fund Alliance for Animals,
The Peace Abbey, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, September 11th
Victims Families, and other charities.
Some mavericks still flinch at the notion of "corporatizing" vegan
wisdom. They prefer to drift against the current. It is the mainstream, after
all, who consume, wear and experiment upon animals. Yet for any non-traditional
discipline to persevere, its messengers must paddle in a user-friendly
direction.

Shark Update
The Rodeo Mafia Strikes Back!
By Steve Hindi - Shark - news@sharkonline.org
Last
Saturday SHARK investigators were in Wyoming, Illinois, pursuing another
National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) rodeo. It was the third
NHSRA rodeo investigated in four weeks. We felt certain we would
encounter violations of the Illinois Humane Care for Animals Act, and we
did. But in addition we now find the violence of the Rodeo Mafia turned
on us.
First, I must tell you "the rest of the story" from the rodeo we
investigated in Charleston, Illinois on May 18-19. This rodeo was loaded
with violations of the Illinois Humane Care for Animals Act. Our team had
our hands full trying to capture everything. But there was more than
animal abuse at this rodeo.
This rodeo was special to me for a very important reason. It marked my
11-year-old daughter Eva's first effort as a SHARK investigator. Eva
dearly loves animals, and has for years planned to become a veterinarian.
When she was just a little girl, I thought her plan to be a vet was just a
phase, but she has never wavered in her determination. She even
volunteers her time at a veterinarian's office, helping with clean up.
Eva did amazingly well as an investigator. She documented animals with
cuts and open wounds, as well as tail twisting, pulling and raking, and the use
of the electric prod. Eva documented something else that I missed
completely - a rodeo thug with long brown hair who was skulking around our car,
which was parked in an area by itself. But the thug wasn't happy with
merely sneaking around our car.
When Eva was filming at the arena during the rodeo, the thug repeatedly bumped
her, even though there was no one else near by. Being an extraordinarily
brave but also innocent girl, Eva said nothing to me until I was reviewing her
videotape a couple days later. When I asked her why her footage suddenly
became jerky, Eva told me about a guy who kept bumping her. It was the
same guy who was skulking around our car!
This is the kind of lowdown, child-abusing coward you find in the Rodeo
Mafia. Was he a child molester? Did he figure she was an animal
protector, and he was willing to intimidate a child to stop it? Is he
both a pervert and an assailant?
I contacted the Cole County Sheriffs Department. An officer went to work
to find out more about the thug. He called back a few days later to
explain that he had talked to the head of the Illinois High School Rodeo
Association, and man named Ken Gaskin.
According to the officer, Gaskin identified the man from his physical
description. According to the officer, Gaskin said that the man would be
kept away from future high school rodeos. With no hard evidence of the
man's crimes against Eva, we were left with little to go on in the way of
criminal charges.
Our next rodeo was last weekend, in Wyoming, Illinois. It was another
High School Rodeo Association event. When we arrived on Saturday afternoon,
it was 92 degrees, and yet the animals had no shelter from the sun, as is now
required by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. We documented the
lack of shelter.
The rodeo performance started in the evening. I began filming tail
twisting/pulling (violations of the law) at the timed event chute. Then I
noticed that the thug was there too. The same guy who preyed on my
daughter Eva was at this rodeo, regardless of whatever promises were made to
the police by the head of the Illinois High School Rodeo Association.
Not only did I notice the thug, but he also noticed me. I watched out of
the corner of my eye as he slowly made his way toward me. I waited until
the thug was within arm's length of me, and then I turned my video camera on
him. He hadn't expected that.
When the thug asked why I was filming him, I told him I was going to send a
copy to the Coles County Sheriff's Department. That started the guy
breathing heavily as he spouted that filming wasn't allowed at the rodeo.
He said that he didn't know me, or my family. When I asked him why he
would make any reference to my family, he became even more agitated. He started
looking for Ken Gaskin -- the very man who supposedly told Coles County police
that he would not allow the suspect to return to the rodeo.
At this point I was most interested in talking to Mr. Gaskin, so when someone
indicated the direction Gaskin was supposed to be, I headed there, with the
suspect walking to my right, somewhat behind me. I kept my video camera
pointed back toward the suspect, as he continued to spout that he knew nothing
about either me, or my family. His actions indicated otherwise.
Then, when I turned my head forward to watch where I was going, the thug
attacked. It was the kind of cowardly, blindside attack that I should
have been on the lookout for. It was the attack of a desperate person.
The suspect gripped my video camera and started wrenching it back and forth and
around, trying to get it away from me.
Obviously my promise to give the videotape to the Coles County Sherriff had
struck a nerve. The thought of Coles County police, or perhaps ANY police
getting a look at the thug, seemed to be enough to drive him nuts.
The struggle went on for a bit, and the camera was damaged, but never left my grip.
Finally, the thug gave up, and started looking for help. Ken Gaskin, the
head of the rodeo, showed up. I told Gaskin about the assault, but
predictably, he didn't care. It was the video camera he was upset about.
Gaskin told me there was now a $100 permit needed to film, and told me I had to
leave if I didn't have it. I told Gaskin about the animal abuse we
documented, but he didn't care about that either. The video camera was
his sole concern.
Finally, I left the rodeo grounds, and went to the Wyoming, Illinois
police. We gave a police officer our videotapes (but made copies), and
anticipate charges being filed soon. I have also contacted the Coles
County Sheriffs Department again, and hope that our new evidence will enable
them to reopen Eva's case.
By the way, we contacted Kent Sturman, Director of the National High School
Rodeo Association's headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Sturman denied that
there was a charge for videotaping high school rodeos. Sturman likely
doesn't know what all has happened at the Illinois rodeos, but that will
change.
Meanwhile, we will pursue charges against the thug who bumped my daughter and
attacked me. I will also demand the resignation of Mr. Gaskin. If
that happens, great. If it doesn't, it will only show the absolute lack
of ethics of the High School Rodeo Association.
In other areas of the country, rodeos are also under scrutiny. In
California, a recent rodeo in the San Diego area was documented by a volunteer
from SHARK, as well as a representative of San Diego Animal Advocates.
Documentation of that rodeo includes the use of electric shock to force animals
to act wild, as well as footage of the cruel, not to mention perverted
"event" of calf dressing. This is a sick activity where a team
of 5-6 perverts put underwear on a terrorized, struggling calf. There is
also documentation of an injured bull, and now no word from the Rodeo Mafia, or
its sponsors, as to what happened to the victim.
Thanks to efforts by SHARK and In Defense of Animals, the town of Greenburgh,
New York has banned rodeos and circuses on its public property.
The Rodeo Mafia is extremely upset by our successful efforts in Illinois and
other parts of the country. They are still angry over our ruining the Olympic
Rodeo in Utah last February. They are cornered, and things are only going to
get worse.
This is for the pro-rodeo lurkers on our list. The very worst thing the
Rodeo Mafia could have done was to try physical intimidation against us.
That does not scare us away - on the contrary. Our efforts will not only
continue - we shall double and redouble our efforts. Now we will document
your cruelty as never before.
This is for the caring people on our list. This level of activity is
putting a major strain on our resources. We are running on empty, so I
would ask that those who support our efforts, please send a donation if at all
possible. Your donation supplies us with the equipment we need to
document, and keeps us on the road pursuing rodeos and other forms of animal
abuse.
Also, anyone who is seriously interested in being a documenter at rodeos should
give us a call, or E-mail us. We want to set up a network of people who
will eventually blanket the country. Then we can use our combined
documentation to increase the pace at which protective laws for rodeo victims
are enacted.
Finally, please remember that rodeos cannot exist without sponsors such as
Coca-Cola, DaimlerChrysler (Dodge, Chrysler and Mercedes Benz automobiles),
Anheuser-Busch (beer products, Sea World and Busch Gardens amusement parks),
and Coors Beer to name a few. Please DON'T give these corporate animal
abusers your money.

Stray Cat
By Francis Witham
Oh what unhappy twist of fate,
has brought you homeless to my gate?
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter,warmth and food
From that day I ceased to be
the master of my destiny.
While he with fur and velvet paw
Became within my house the law.
He scratched the furniture and shed
and claimed the middle of my bed.
He ruled in arrogance and pride
and broke my heart the day he died.
So if you really think, oh cat,
I'd willingly relive all that
Because you come forlorn and thin
Well..don't just stand there, come on in.
