Bear Hunter Protest a Success!
|
|
On Thursday February 2, SHARK and our partners, the Animal Protection League of New Jersey and the Bear Education and Resource Group held a protest in front of the law firm of Morgan, Melhuish and Abrutyn in Livingston, NJ.
Nearly twenty people attended, which was a great turn out for a weekday protest.
 | |
Thank you to everyone who attended!
|
SHARK even received a generous donation for this protest which allowed us to print-up large full-color posters, like this one:
The New Jersey Law Journal, which covered our protest against vile pigeon shooting lawyer Richard Shackleton, who cursed out a female lawyer who was videotaping for SHARK at the Philadelphia Gun Club, did a fantastic story today. You can see the preview for it on their website HERE. It is their top story.
Due to copyright restrictions, we can't post the full article, but we can tell you that it covered the issue from the start, including everything Hall wrote on the hunting website and our Facebook page.
It also included this quote by one of our supporters, Linda MacFarlane, who, writing on that same Facebook post, responded to Hall's vile statement and called Hall "a fat old man with a tiny little dick" who "thinks killing makes him a man."
I have a feeling now that since a large section of NJ's law community has read this, that Hall isn't feeling so arrogant anymore.
Hall's law firm didn't come off very well either. All we had asked for was an apology for what Hall had said about a fellow lawyer, but the partners refused. Maybe they thought this would go away. They were wrong. And if they think this protest was the end, they are really wrong!
As we said in the law journal article, we are now going to send all of this to the firm's government clients and ask them the same question we posed at the protest, which you can read in this sign (see below) from yesterday. We'll have more on this issue soon.

Richard Shackelton Opens His Mouth,
Which is Never a Good Idea For Him
|
|
As mentioned in the previous section, this is Richard Shackelton, who you can see in his full vileness in this video:

Pigeon Shooting Lawyer Proud of his Hate Speech (OBSCENE LANGUAGE)
|
Shackelton was quoted in the New Jersey Law Journal story (because of the similarity between what he and Hall and done, and that SHARK has now gone after two lawyers that have targeted women with their anger and sexism), where he noted that he was still the attorney for Long Beach Township. Since SHARK had protested there and there was enormous media coverage and disdain for what he had done, one could take this as a snide remark that the Town Council may have forgotten what happened.
So lets remind them!
Please contact Long Beach Township and politely tell them that you have not forgotten the vile and disgusting act committed by Shackleton. Let them know that by opening his mouth again, Shackelton brought this renewed heat upon himself - and them.

Greece Bans Animal Circuses - Yet Pennsylvania Can't ban Pigeon Shoots
|
|
According to Animal Defenders International, not only has the Greek government banned the use of all animals in circuses, but so has Bolivia and Peru.
These are amazing victories, but it spotlights how backward things are here, where the state of Pennsylvania can't even manage a ban on live pigeon shoots.
When entire countries can unite around the simple notion that cruelty is wrong and should be banned, yet one state cannot muster the courage to stand against the NRA, then that is truly an embarrassment and shame.

A little insight into the early life of one rodeo performer. From ABC News:
"When Brannaman was 6 years old, he said his father decided that the he and his brother would be professional trick ropers. After enough rodeo shows, they earned their own Pops cereal commercial and a shot on the popular TV game show "What's My Line." "But if their performances weren't perfect, Brannaman said his father would beat the two boys relentlessly. The abuse went on until one day a school football coach noticed the marks on Buck Brannaman's back when he was changing in the locker room for gym class and called the local sheriff. The boys were taken away and placed in foster care. Their father was livid, Brannaman said. "He actually sent us birthday cards for the next two or three years, telling us that when we turned 18 he was going to hunt us down and kill us," he said. "He would send us letters and tell us that he was watching us through the scope of his rifle at my foster parents' ranch." |

SHARK's Latest Video - Wrap-up of Warminster Corruption and the Gun Pulling Incident
|
|
We have completed the video expos� of the corrupt Warminster Police and District Attorney stemming from Carlton Pools gun-pulling incident almost a year ago. Unfortunately, there is so much to this case, the original time for a video was well over an hour, with so much official nonsense to debunk. We've posted only the most superficial points. The underbelly of this case is far more insidious.

Pennsylvania Corruption Exposed
|
The Prosecutor dropped Janet's remaining charge, further proving the charges were bogus to begin with.
Bottom line is my offer to take the polygraph examination still stands. If officials cared about the truth and any semblance of justice, they would act, but that will never happen. Pennsylvania is a corruption cesspool.

"Kindness and compassion towards all living beings is a mark of a civilized society. Racism, economic deprival, dog fighting and cock fighting, bullfighting and rodeos are all cut from the same fabric: violence. Only when we have become nonviolent towards all life will we have learned to live well ourselves." - Cesar Chavez, civil rights and labor leader, founder of the United Farm Workers
