...finest of negative stories—the most beloved kind. We had a man with a twisted fetish for watching poor, defenseless dogs rip each other apart; and if they didn’t try hard enough to please him, he’d ruthlessly slaughter them in ways only fit for a Hostel movie. Add in a dash of rich, spoiled athlete and a sinister sneer and face to match, and you had a recipe for quite a firestorm...
...Hutu slaughter of Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda between April and July 1994 was so quick and wholesale, it has proved impossible to find all the dead or separate their remains. It is estimated that Rwanda lost 800,000 people in 100 days. Perhaps 2 million took part in the slaughter, this in a country of 8 million. The genocide museum in the capital Kigali concludes its description of 1994 with the words: "Rwanda was dead." As a Tutsi area, Nyamata was a crucible of the killing. It was where, in a series of practice massacres after 1990, that...
...outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth disease (FMD) was confirmed on a cattle farm in Surrey, southern England, in early August, Britain braced for the worst. In 2001, the last time the U.K. was hit by this highly contagious illness affecting cloven-hoofed animals, it led to the slaughter and incineration of over 6.5 million animals and cost the country $17 billion.

...greater responsibility for their security - and even the weapons to back it up - in exchange for severing their links to al-Qaeda. That's a manageable risk while U.S. forces are nearby; if they depart, it becomes tinder in a dry forest. The danger would be not just sectarian slaughter but outright anarchy as well. "Our immediate concern," says a senior Arab diplomat, "is that sending a signal of complete withdrawal could encourage some elements in every faction in every political group that they can now impose their own agenda. It would be not only Shi'ite versus Sunni...
...Slaughter as Sport The postcard from Mexico should have been titled "Postcard of Animal Cruelty" [June 25--July 2]. You asked if children tormenting and killing bulls can "save a dying sport." Bullfighting is dying a natural death as a so-called sport because people are making the choice not to support sickening animal torture. As a direct result of the outrage from citizens and tourists, Barcelona's city council passed a resolution opposing bullfighting. The picture of the young bullfighter and the young bull shows one being who has the choice of participating and another that has no choice...
