Oreo: Call to Action

 

On December 1, 2009, Fabian Henderson, the creep (nicest name I could come up with barring the use of profanity) who threw Oreo off the 6 storey building last summer appears in court for sentencing.  He has pled guilty to an E Felony Aggravated Cruelty to Animals.

Stop Michael Vick – Join the Campaign!

 

 
I signed up on this site tonight and hope you all will do the same.  Not sure if there’s anything that can be done now except let karma have it’s way but I certainly don’t want to be left out of whatever can be done.
The main thrust of the campaign appears to be aimed [...]

Killing Wolves for Fun

 

Those of you who know me well know that I run in the same spirit as the wolf. Once adopted by the wolf spirit, you remain forever tied to them.  For years I fought the law and the law won.  Aerial hunting is happening as we speak in the beautiful state of Alaska to the [...]
