4	Farm Sanctuary Cited The Florida Elections Commission has unanimously found probable cause that Farm Sanctuary, a national animal rights group, violated state campaign finance law. The Commission levied 210 counts against the group – one for each check sent in response to two mailings soliciting funds for a Constitutional Amendment initiative. SCI applauds the Commission for charging the group with violating the state law that requires all contributions go through the official campaign treasurer. Voters and donors must be protected from any group apparently willing to play fast and loose with election laws.

6	Wildlife Amok Problems caused by wildlife imbalances are getting more widespread coverage in general news media: ABC News broadcast journalist Peter Jennings devoted an entire episode of “In Search of America,” to conflicts between Idaho ranchers and reintroduced gray wolf packs. The Knoxville News-Sentinel examined the problems caused when communities are overrun by coyotes. The Orange County Register reports that 329 human-bear conflicts have been reported so far this year. Notably, The Dallas Morning News reports New Mexico has seen a drop in bear-human conflicts. New Mexico Game and Fish attributes this to the fact that, in the past year, officers and sportsmen harvested 131 problem bears.
7	Vote YES! For Fur According to cnn.com, fur’s revival in the fashion industry this year has, not surprisingly, drawn the ire of the antis, including fashion designer and PETA blow horn Stella McCartney, who claims her own garments are “cruelty free,” although her label is partly owned by Gucci, which makes extensive use of leather. However, fellow designer Karl Lagerfeld sees no problem with fur’s use. “It should be handled in the nicest way,” he advised, “but as long as we eat meat and wear leather, I don’t even think there is a subject to discuss.” CNN is conducting a poll to determine public opinion on the use of fur in clothing. To vote for wearing fur and against the rants of the activists, go to http://asia.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/10/29/design360.mccartney.fur/index.html and click “yes” on the “Quickvote” box.
