...kill count, which already exceeds 1,000 this year, has outraged animal lovers and the local Native American tribes--some of whom showed up on the steps of the U.S. Capitol last week to protest the slaughter. Many are blaming Yellowstone's snowmobiling tourists for the massacre. By opening the park to unrestricted numbers of the machines, they say, and meticulously grading and packing the deep snow on the roads to accommodate riders, the Park Service has inadvertently made it easier for the bison to move around in search of food, thus increasing their survival rate and boosting their population...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt has embarked on a mission to end the slaughter of buffalo outside of Yellowstone National Park in Montana. "There's no logical reason to pick on the bison to shoot and slaughter," Babbitt told reporters. To combat brucellosis, a disease found in bison that causes abortions, infertility and reduced milk production when transmitted to cattle, Montana officials are permitted to shoot any buffalo that wander outside of the park. Babbit advocates a different approach in the fight against brucellosis: more research, less guns. Specifically, the Interior Secretary has asked the National Academy of Sciences...
Lori and I were on scanning duty, fluoroscoping cattle like airport carry-on bags as they galumphed through our stockyard receiving line--a novel pre-slaughter activity back then, but now compulsory in the U.S. and Canada. We found two cows, each containing seven embryos--obviously not ours. These cows were then removed to the bmf, the Bovine Midwifing Facility. Only full gestation would reveal the tots' genetic identity. Software mogul? Pop-song diva? Corporation head? Somewhat like waiting for Polaroids to develop over a period of years...
...huge rally still to come. So no one is going to do it. Heck, we're still throwing $20 billion a month into stock mutual funds. The inflows haven't even slowed, much less stopped, much less reversed. But the only other choice is to be led to the slaughter. And we are being...
...America. Danilewitz begins his argument by recounting an incident--the murder of 47 Jews in Kishinev, Russia--which was part of a very real and very long history of anti-Semitism, particularly in Europe. In introducing the example of the Russian pogrom he attempts to link this reprehensible slaughter of Jews to the murder of Yankel Rosenbaum in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. As a result of what he characterizes as black malice toward Jews, he calls on the American Jewish community to "reconsider its allegiance to groups and peoples [namely, blacks] who, in the most unabashed manner, do not seek...
