Peta is out of control

This latest assault against Primarily Primates is just the latest lawsuit in a series of lawsuits instigated against PPIby PETA. The first lawsuit, which was filed in 2006 and named 9 chimpanzees as plaintiffs, alleged animal abuse. This suit was dismissed by the Honorable Andy Mireles for lack of standing. None of the allegations of animal abuse were ever substantiated. The second lawsuit was filed by the Attorney General’s office at the behest of PETA. This lawsuit alleged financial mismanagement. However, this allegation also proved to be unsubstantiated, and the Attorney General voluntarily agreed to dismiss the lawsuit, finding it was in the best interests of the State of Texas, PPI, and the animals entrusted to its care to do so.

After the first two lawsuits instigated by PETA against PPI failed, PETA went knocking door to door in PPI’s neighborhood to recruit additional plaintiffs for yet another lawsuit. They found two—Virginia Baker, an elderly woman with brain cancer, who has since dropped out of the suit, and Carl Hensley, a retiree. Although Plaintiffs’ lawyers initially refused to answer questions about the funding of the lawsuit, they were later forced to admit at a hearing on Plaintiff’s application for a temporary restraining order in front of the Honorable Andy Mireles (Judge Mireles denied Plaintiff’s application for a temporary restraining order) that the entire suit is being funded byPETA.

Almost Deadly bite

A 94-year-old Australian woman may be the oldest person known to survive the bite of a male Sydney funnel-web spider, one of the world's deadliest spiders.  The great-grandmother was bitten not once, but twice.  The spider that bit her turned out to be a male funnel-web, whose venom is more poisonous than the females. Sydney Funnel-web male spiders are one of the most venomous spiders in the world.

21 Dead Horses and No One to Blame

How do 21 horses drop dead on a field?  These poor animals suffered from lung hemorrhages that means they drowned in their own blood.  What a horrible way to die.  They suspect that the vitamin supplement Biodyl was injected to help fight exhaustion.  The horses were from the country of Lechuza Caracas.       

Some of my Pictures

Borneo Rhino

This is the first picture ever taken of the rare Borneo rhino.  The worldwide fund for nature used a motion triggered camera to capture this rarity.   This is thought to be one of only 13 animals in existence.  They roam the dense forest in Borneo where no one has seen them.

Escaped Snakes

Stimson's pythons escape on plane in Australia.  Four baby pythons escaped on a passenger plane in Australia today.  They were six inches long and no one can find them. Stimson's grow up to 13 feet long and are not endangered.  They probably got into another passengers bags.  Could you imagine getting home and unpacking your luggage to find a snake in it.  I own snakes and it would scare me.   

Im pulling for cali in the great turtle race.

The great turtle race has started.  Did you here about this the national geographic society has tracked eleven leather back turtles for the last six months.  They compiled the data and made it into an Internet race.  For the next fourteen days the turtles will be racing across Internet screens everywhere.  What do you think about this????  You can follow the race at thegreatturtlerace.com

The Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act

Our Government has really fowled up our country in the past few years now they are attacking our pets.  There is a House resolution(H.R669) that if passed will change the pet industry as we know it.  The bill basically bans all non native animals from being sold in the USA.  If you have fish,birds,small mammals, or reptiles you will be affected by this bill.  Every person that owns an animal that might be affected by this bill should write their senator and tell them to say no to H.R669.  You can contact your senator at this site www.senate.gov
