Chemical and biological weapons from weaponized anthrax to nerve gases have been developed on captive animals for many decades. Recently biological weapons developed by George Merck of the Merck pharmaceutical company were destroyed after 45 or more years in storage. 27. . In weaponized anthrax development by the CIA and Ft Detrick,4000 primates were detroyed in just 1 experiment before captive primates and 1 billion dollars was given to Battelle of Tennessee.

US soldiers in survival training are taught to club, knife and otherwise kill animals from Dugway Proving Ground in Utah to Okinawa. http: //www.peta.org/feat/wargames/ In the war of the Israeli government against the Lebanese people, a million animals died in an oil spill created by a power plant bombing. Cows have died of thirst on boats unable to land liveshipped animals. Animals have died as relief supplies can't get into the many crisis areas. The Olmert regime fired upon relief workers.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY
ON CURRICULUM TEACHES CRUELTY

Ernest Hemingway.. in his next life perhaps became an antibullfight
activist in Mexico, Spain or Portugal, if God was merciful. If not, perhaps he became a bull
in the ring. Hemingway unrequited in love
Took his anger out
On African mammals
He serially murdered
And in popularizing
The barbarism of
Bullfights.

"To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; "
(Hemingway's biography spoke of his unrequited love
turning to the rage of the serial killing of African animals)

MURDER MYSTERY WITH ANIMAL RIGHTS THEME

C J Box's Blood Trail is now available in
an audio version..

Box has written a murder mystery with
an anti hunting activist on one side and Wyoming's hunter dominated government
on the other. In between them is Joe Pickett, himself someone who
frequently breaks jaws and who murders in the story.

Recorded Books' narrator David Chandler
portrays the animal rights leader in the
book more negatively than his character
was written.

Recorded Books LLC which has made the audio
version also glorifies foxhunting
with the publishing of Rita Mae Brown,
Charlottesville promoter of the blood
sport referred to by Oscar Wilde as
'the unspeakable in full pursuit of
the inedible'.

VIVISECTORS HAVE OPENED MANY PANDORA'S BOXES
.. SOME DELIBERATEY

such as the 'weaponized anthrax research'
and some accidentally such as the Fort
Collins Colorado government research
station's creation of Mad Deer and Mad Elk.
