US Republicans Want Hunting In National Parks

ARC | 06.06.2012 18:48 | Animal Liberation | Ecology | Health | South Coast | World

The 4.5% of the US population which stalk and slaughter animals in the woods have never
before been allowed to hunt in the national parks, murdering animals and endangering human children and adults, some of whom are killed every year by hunters.

Eric Cantor Engineered House Vote To Allow Hunting In National Parks

Eric Cantor, who has flunked humane society ratings with a mere 13 percent support of animal rights legislation, engineered the House vote to allow hunting in national parks, endangering of course the animals who have been historically protected by the US Government ever since Teddy Roosevelt after slaughtering a mother bear agreed to adopt
her orphaned cub who wandered into the hunting camp. That was
the origin of 'teddy bear'. Roosevelt is remembered not for the hundreds of bears he slaughtered (some of whose skins still adorn the walls of his home) but for the one cub on whom he had compassion. In addition this action if passed by the Senate and signed by the president would endanger the human children and adults who visit the park.
Hunters, whose congressional pawns represent their 4.5% of the population, ignoring and putting at risk the 95.5% who don't hunt, often trip over fences or fall in the mud, discharging their lethal weapons. When drunk or angry they often shoot fellow hunters. Hunting for sport is forbidden in Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism. Jesus threw the butchers out of the temple. They were the same men who were the moneychangers, selling the innocent mammals and birds for sacrifice.

The following are members of the coalition attempting to railroad hunting in national parks. Only if passed in the Senate and signed by the president will it become law.
