Head Wildlife Official Kills Cougar (TAKE ACTION)

February 23, 2012

(WILDLIFE) The California Fish and Game Commission, created in 1870, manages the state’s wildlife, which is the complete opposite of what it’s chief executive is doing. Since it’s illegal to do so in California, Daniel Richards, the president of the Commission, paid $7,000 to hunt and shoot a mountain lion in Idaho. Richards used professional guides and hounds to stalk the cougar through the forest, chase him up into a tree and shoot him. He then posed for a heartwarming photo with the carcass. Western Outdoor News wrote, “Asked about California’s mountain lion moratorium, Richards didn’t hesitate. ‘I’m glad it’s legal in Idaho.’” — Global Animal

“Macho” Meat Eaters

November 3, 2011

(POLITICS OF ANIMALS) Few people still need to hunt for food to survive. Yet today’s political leaders portray themselves as formidable hunters and providers while animal lovers are often stigmatized as neurotic. This sense of misguided machismo is still perpetuated in popular culture, where hunting and eating meat is seen as manly and strong, while compassion is seen as weak. Why is the attitude that humans must dominate other animal species still so prevalent? Read more on this interesting discussion about how animals are viewed in our culture today. — Global Animal

Fishermen And Great White Caught On Camera

October 21, 2011

Although they are protected in South Africa, photos such as these suggest that the species is still actively hunted. Read on about the fate of this great white shark and how the species is continually threatened by the lack of law enforcement protection. — Global Animal
