[log in to unmask], 9 May 2007 20:34:47 EDT572_- Hi all ~
I met the worst people in the world yesterday, and they are still
parked next door. You know how Keith Oberman (MSNBC) does "The Worst
Person in the World" each night? Got some.
This campground is a lovely big one. Campgrounds sort of have a "rules
of the road" just like boaters. It's a courtesy. There are our 2
spaces, and in between a common area for anyone who wants extra space.
We had put up the play cages for our fuzzies only on our half, and had
our own picnic table. When I went out yesterday [...]42_9May200720:34:

[log in to unmask], 9 May 2007 06:06:13 -0700558_- This is a case that happened in Japan recently. Here is what I remember
from the summary of the information I made for others at that time:
One of SONY's employees was just all over the news... 2 weeks ago for
torturing and killing 2-3 dozen small animals. The man posted video of
himself brutilizing a ferret on youtube, and some people recognized
something in the video and sent notice to the cops in that area -
southern Japan. Of course he got off with a slap on the wrist, but
it's really bad PR for SONY. The second hit [...]40_9May200706:06:

[log in to unmask], 9 May 2007 18:44:31 -0500555_- I have sent the following letter. I refuse to watch the videos. Those
of us who shelter have had enough experience with those who abuse and
neglect animals.
"As someone who for over 15 years has sheltered domestic European
ferrets I am outraged that you encourage their abuse by publically
displaying this unlawful behavior. The people who post such things
are obviously seeking sick attention and you are supporting this
pathological behavior by allowing them to post videos such as, and
including, the following: [...]39_9May200718:44:

[log in to unmask], 9 May 2007 10:30:19 -0400443_- Whenever I see a video like this on YouTube, I flag it as
inappropriate. It doesn't get it off the website, unfortunately, but
at least it makes it slightly more dificult to access for the morbidly
curious.
Personally, just watching the *beginning* of this video make me sick to
my stomach. I couldn't watch any further than the first few seconds.
Why anyone considers this "entertainment" is beyond me. [...]37_9May200710:30:

I'd like to point out that the original sick video HAS already been
removed; what remains are the news stories about the perp being
arrested. Because they ARE news stories, they h
