Our recent post of December 24th:
It seems that the US just cannot get enough of killing with guns and teaching youngsters that killing is the way.

Just a sample letter, if you prefer to tell in your own words, feel free:
SAMPLE LETTER
Ladies and Gentlemen, frenzied killing people;
Does America never grow sick of living beings getting killed with guns ?
“hunting contest” – really? – And you still wonder where all those twisted minds come from who enjoy to torture and brutally kill or run amok in your malls, schools, cinemas, etc. ?
I tell you a secret: it’s the human society that’s breeding them with our contempt towards life.
Vivisections at schools – fur for vanity – factory farms – “religious” slaughter – animal testing – zoos – circuses – trophy “hunting” – marine parks – movies, TV-advertising and shows – bestiality – torture in slaughterhouses – kill-“shelters” – murderers and pedophiles who are allowed to leave prison again – massacres of wildlife and strays – big corporations supported by elected officials, destroying environment and causing health problems or even deaths of people – … an endless list!
We’re teaching our descendants to ban any kind of compassion from their hearts because the human way of life; your way of life, allows to use the weaker for any purpose.
Children growing up in such a hypocritical and greedy society are at risk of losing their ability to feel compassion anyway and if this wasn’t enough, YOU really are of the opinion, what the world needs is such kind of a “contest”?
Idaho politicians say KILL, KILL, KILL – because they do not have an ounce of decency in them !
Forgive me if I doubt your sick and twisted mind but I am civilised.

‘For Wildlife’, an anti-predator organization, has organized a wolf and coyote killing contest on December 28 and 29 near Salmon, Idaho. The killing “derby” is scheduled on the 40th anniversary of the passage of the Endangered Species Act, our nation’s safety-net for wildlife, that brought wolves back from the brink of extinction. Hunt participants, in teams of two, will pursue wolves and coyotes as part of a competition for prizes, including cash awards, for the largest wolf, most female coyotes, and other categories.
Even children, as young as 10 can participate in the kill fest.
The contest hunt will cover public and private (with permission) lands which will include lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Both federal agencies have regulations and policies that prohibit such commercial, competitive events without special recreation or use permits, but both agencies are allowing the Idaho contest participants to hunt on their lands without complying with federal law.
The USFS, which initially admitted that this event would require a special use permit, is now claiming that no permit is required. The BLM, which admits that a special recreation permit is required, is expediting issuance of the permit without complying with federal environmental laws.
If these agencies followed their own laws and policies, coyotes and wolves will be spared, and the killing contest will be crippled.
Wildlife killing contest are ethically indefensible events allowing participants to kill wildlife to win prizes.
They are biologically and ecologically reckless, not only harming individual animals, but also altering predator-prey dynamics, disrupting the social dynamics of predatory species, and increasing threats to public safety, all for ‘fun’ and prizes.
They have no beneficial management purpose but, rather, promote gratuitous violence against wildlife. They demean the immense ecological and economic value of predators in an ecosystem while teaching children to hate and trivialize the lives of predators.
‘Have gun, must kill’ – is this the American way ?
Dangerous, very dangerous.
