Wild Animals in the Panic Society.



    Many people liked to live in the country. Those People liked
the wild animals that came by their houses. They often left food
for those animals. It was this easy food that attracted many of
those animals. It was not unusual for raccoon, rabbits, deer and
other wild animals to come into many a backyard to eat the free
handouts. Those animals would then come quite close to the house
where the people that lived in them could watch them from the
windows.

    People in the city could also attract wild animals. In most
cases, it was birds that were attracted. By putting out bird
feeders, such people were able to attract all kinds of birds into
their back yards.

    They also fed squirrels and other small animals. Such
animals soon lost most of their fear of people. Some of them
could be quite a nuisance and could make quite a mess.

    Your Glorious Leaders said that the feeding of wild animals
was wrong. They considered it a bribery and immoral. They also
complained that people that fed wild animals were interfering
with nature and that those animals would become dependent on that
food.

    Feeding of those animals could cause problems as well. In
Midland, Michigan, the deer have become a nuisance to some
people. They tear up gardens and flowerbeds. They make a mess in
the Dow Gardens, And, they end up being hit by automobiles on the
busy city streets.

    Such deer also end up getting panicky and confused as they
feel trapped in the confines of suburban areas. They have been
known to go crashing through doors and windows. The panicked deer
then proceeds to trash the house becoming badly injured in the
process.

    Police in Wilabee Ohio had to issue an APB for a deer when
it ran over a woman as she got out of her car in a shopping
center parking lot.

    Many National and local parks became famous because of their
wildlife. People came by the thousands to see those animals and
often brought along the kids. In spite of being warned, those
people thought that they were in a large zoo. They got very close
to those animals and fed them. The wild animals soon associated
food with the people.

    Many of those animals were large and could be dangerous if
cornered or surprised. There were many deaths and injuries that
resulted from attacks from buffalo, elk, bighorn sheep, coyotes,
bears, mountain lions, etc.

     Many of those animals were carrying ticks infected with
Lymes disease and Spotted Rocky Mountain Fever. Others could have
rabies. Many people got sick as a result.

    An experiment in the 60s in South America involving African
Bees went amok when some hybrid bees escaped and starting rapidly
replacing the native species.

    The problem started when it was discovered just how
aggressive those bees were is disturbed. They attacked in such
numbers and with such aggressiveness that they were given the
name "Killer Bees."

    A series of Hollywood movies further spread the panic about
"Killer Bees." Worse yet, the bees actually begin to spread
north.

    Near hysteria broke out in California in the Summer of 88
when a colony was discovered in Southern California. Millions of
domestic bees ended up getting killed to destroy the killer
colony.

    It doesn't have to be killer bees to cause a problem. In
Michigan, August 1992, Alyssa Clark, 2 1/2, of Richland, was
severly stung by wasps. September 16, 1992. A horse was killed by
more then 600 bee stings from a swarm of honeybees.Christine
Stenger, 28, was severly stung as she attempted to cut the horse
loose and drive the bees away with a garden hose. Her other horse
nearly died from the same attack.

    Ants have always been a problem. In the South, the fire ant
can cause serious injury to people and domestic animals that
disturb their nests.

    Ants can be a problem in houses and buildings. They can
destroy the structure by tunneling and eating of the wood. They
can also carry germs as they get into food and other things in
those structures.

    However, Your Glorious Leaders screamed that all species
must be protected. In Washington DC there is a potted tree in the
office of the World Wildlife Fund. This potted tree contains an
ant colony that is getting into everything in the building.
However, the ants turned out to be a new species of ants.
Therefore, they have been declared an endangered species and are
now protected. Kathryn Fuller, President of the World Wildlife
fund, is now feeding those ants everyday.

    Your Glorious Leaders insist that we should protect
cockroaches. After all, they said, they care for their young just
as humans do their kids.

    Hunting was another venture that is considered very
dangerous. Hunters were constantly getting shot, or suffering
from a heart attack. Hunters were often attacked and killed by
angry animals whose mating or feeding activity had been rudely
interrupted by the hunters.

    The wild animals themselves were under constant harassment
from the hunters. They were constantly being shot at and chased
all over the place. Millions of them were shot and left to die a
miserable death. (PeTA)

    The panic raised by your hero, Wayne Percelli, created much
protest over what was happening to wild animals as a result of
hunting. (See "Hunting and the Panic Society" for more details.)

    In Princeton New Jersey, Animal Rights activists convinced
local officials to ban all hunting in 1972. The deer population
has exploded. As a result, there are many problems that have
resulted from too many deer in the area. Over 200 of them were
killed by collisions with cars last year.

    There is still bow hunting allowed. However, your glorious
hero, Karen Cotton, screams that such hunting is barbaric. She
insists that the deer need to be given some kind of birth
control.

    "These animals are a natural source," says Karen Cotton.
"They belong to all of us, not just hunters. They are feeling.
They have nerves, and they are sentient. We can't be pressured by
sportsmen into accepting common cruelty."

    In California, Your Glorious Leaders have been able to force
through a law to protect the mountain lion (Cougar) as an
endangered species. Deer hunting is also off limits as a result.

    This is now leading to many problems. The mountain lion
population has now exploded. As mountain lions fill up the wild
areas, they start to move down into populated areas.

    Farmers are losing ever more animals to those mountain
lions. In addition, many rural families are losing the family pet
when it is carried away by a mountain lion for dinner.

    Mountain lion attacks are up. More people have been killed
or injured in the past 10 years than the previous 50.

    A store clerk heard a noise in the back room. She went to
have a look only to find a cougar walking out of the store with
her now dead puppy in its mouth.

    Las Angles animal control has had the dangerous job of
catching mountain lions that wander into the suburbs. The law
forbids them from shooting one.

    Thanks to animal "rights," it is now illegal to take your
children for a hike in California's Caspers Park.

    In the wake of the animalist success in banning the hunting
of mountain lions in California, several people, mostly children,
have been badly mauled by the increasingly overpopulated animals.

    Some have been killed. One lion entered a back yard in San
Gabriel and killed and walked off with a 60-pound Doberman
pinscher.

    In Santa Ana, a 10-year-old girl named Laura Small was
recently left partially paralyzed and blinded in one eye by a
mountain lion in Caspers Park near San Juan Capistrano.

    The large predator pounced on the girl from some bushes,
took her by the head, and dragged the child away from her
horrified mother.

    An evil park visitor hit the huge beast with a stick,
forcing it to drop the child and flee.

    As a result of the attack, Laura underwent 38 days of
hospitalization and more than a dozen operations. She now walks
with a leg brace and has lost the use of her right hand.

    Laura's parents sued Orange County, which is responsible for
the park.

    The county contended that it could not be held responsible
for the acts of a wild animal, but jurors found the county
negligent, and awarded Laura $2 million in damages.

    The judgement is a serious blow to county taxpayers. To
avoid another such debacle, the county has now placed the park
off limits to minors.

    People in California are having to put up high fences and
keeping their kids inside for fear that the kids will soon become
cougar dinner. It was time for those people to be moved away from
the mountain lion's land.

    Animals both wild and domestic are constantly ending up as
road kill on the nations rail lines and highways. Hundreds of
moose have been killed in Alaska because the heavy snow of the
winter of 89, 90 has forced them to use the plowed roadways.

    Many marine animals get chewed up by propellers each year.
The Ludington Pump Station is the present target by extremist
environmentalist because fish ended up getting ground to a pulp
in the pumps.

    Birds often get hit by low flying aircraft. Many of them get
ground up in jet engines or propellers. More often then not, the
resulting collisions have caused the planes to crash with a
resulting loss of life and severe injuries to people.

    Power boats are especially hazardous to marine animals. They
are constantly being cut to ribbons by the propellers. More often
then not, their peaceful lives are rudely disturbed by the awful
roar of the engines and thrashing propellers.

    Wild dolphins will often swim close to shore and play with
people. They seem to just enjoy the company of swimmers that come
to play with them.

    There have been some problems from this.

    A man in England was arrested on the charge of fondling a
dolphin named Freddie. I do not know the details of who observed
or came to the conclusion that such behavior was taking place.
Your Glorious Leaders were outraged that anyone would even do
such a thing. This case dragged on for a year. Finally, a dolphin
expert testified that such a behavior was natural for a dolphin.
The case was dropped. Your Glorious Leaders and others are
outraged that this person wasn't locked away in prison for life.

    Because of the problems with rabies, encephalitis, Lymes
Disease, malaria, and other diseases carried by wild animals, all
the deaths and injuries that wild animals caused in the 20th
century, poisonous snakes, fire ants, killer bees, vampire bats,
Rabid skunks, Grizzly Bears, Charging bull moose, sex crazed bull
elks, black widow spiders, etc. members of the Panic Society will
not be allowed outside their super safe house. Members of the
Panic Society are not allowed to see or feed wild birds and
animals. A special barrier will keep them a super safe distance
from the super safe housing centers. People will never be exposed
to any of those dangers.

    Because of the dangers of shark attack, killer whales,
jellyfish, medical waste, oil fouled beaches, sewage, poisonous
snakes, dangerous waves, marine animals being killed by boats,
and salty water, the people in the Panic Society are never
allowed near the Ocean.

    Because of all the deaths and injuries caused to animals by
transportation, all transportation in the Panic Society is
limited to super safe transport that travels at 4 to 5 mph. The
super safe travelways are designed so that animals can never get
on them to get run over. There are no boats or ships allowed on
the rivers, lakes, or oceans as such travel is just too dangerous
for use by Panic People. There is no flying allowed as that is
too dangerous.

    Most likely, most wild animal species will be extinct by the
time that the Panic Society gets formed.
