SHARK Goes After Hillary Duff for appearing at rodeos

Hollywood star HILARY DUFF is under fire from an animal rights group after scheduling tour dates at rodeos and bullfight arenas.
Duff, who was previously the darling of animal activists after launching her own line of cruelty-free cosmetics, played a run of gigs throughout last year (05) at the Houston Rodeo in Texas, and is planning to perform at a bullfight arena in Barcelona, Spain.
But animal campaigners Showing Animals Respect And Kindness (SHARK) were disgusted by her choice of venues, and since mailed her grisly tapes of cruel behaviour in rodeos and bullfights.

CASTRO VALLEY — The FBI is attempting to get to the bottom of several acts of vandalism in which someone sprayed "ALF" — an acronym for the Animal Liberation Front — on properties where horses are boarded, authorities said on Monday. 

Vandals sprayed graffiti on a horse trailer and ranch signs in the Crow Canyon area, scrawling the initials of the animals rights organization, which is considered a domestic terrorist threat, said Lt. Bill Gaudinier, spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff's Department.

Animal  Rights Nonsense

WASHINGTON (Creators Syndicate) -- The legal concept of the Public Nuisance has for long been recognized throughout all the civilized countries of the world. Basically, and unadorned by the tortured language of the legal profession, a public nuisance is one who uses property to annoy or damage an individual or the general public. Occasionally the annoyance or damage is sufficiently grievous for the public nuisance to suffer some sort of penalty.

Starbuck's

Currently there is an e mail circulating asking you to boycott Starbuck's because they are against helping soldiers involved in the war.  Please note that while this allegation can not be proved the fact that BuckStarbucks.com is in fact a reality.  Please think twice before you pass on e mails regarding Starbuck's, Campbell's, Pace, Ford, Dodge and the American Oil industry.  Hurting these companies hurts America and the American's that work for these companies.  These may be hoaxes circulated by Animal Rights and Environmentalist whose misplaced efforts often harms the rest of us while they try to protect a few animals.  No one loves animals more than cowboys, cowgirls and our fans.  That is why they prey on our patriotism to get us to react.

Update-Starbuck's Caves In!

Today we received the information posted below.  It if very important for those who love rodeo to take the time to read what SHARK has to say.  We must keep informed to fight these activists!

Rhonda Sedgwick Stearns Response to PETA

Rhonda Sedgwick Stearns wrote the note and letter below.  I could not agree with her more and with her consent I pass it on to all of you.

 

Rhonda is not just any cowgirl upset with PETA she carries very admirable credentials.  She was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 1977 and in 2003 was named the top Female Poet by the Academy of Western Artists' (AWA) and that are just two of her awards.

Bull riding show draws animal rights boosters

The PBR Enterprise Tour Event, Bridgeport, CT Jan 20-21, was the most recent target of the animal right group SHARK who was joined by members of two more groups, Animal Rights Front and Compassion in Entertainment.   The article below is an excellent example of the ignorance of these protestors.  Whether they really detered anyone from attending the event is unknown but the fact that they got publicity proves we must continue to publicize the truth.

Animal Welfare-The Animals in rodeo - The following essay was written by Hannah Kindig for her American Literature class.  Hannah lives in Orangeville, Pennsylvania.  She is a junior at Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School.  Hannah has been a regular contributor to our message board and attends several events each year.  She is an avid fan of rodeo and describes it as "my passion, I can't imagine life without it."  Hannah used Rodeo Attitude as her resource for this project and I felt others would appreciate her work as much as we did.

Animal's Right To Work

Animal's Right To Work - Freedom From Extinction Campaign

Rodeo Attitude has set as one of its goals to take our message that animals have the RIGHT to work.  All living creatures must have a purpose or they will become extinct.  This is just a part of the circle of life.  Those who proclaim themselves as "Animal Rights Activist" are in reality the animals worst enemy.  They do not understand the most primary purpose of life.  All life!  The "pets" they keep are in fact working for them as companions.  There is no difference to a dog that is a companion than to a horse that a cowboy rides.  Watch here for more on this campaign.
