7	CWD Update The Washington Times reports that Maryland and Virginia will be testing 300 and 1,000 deer, respectively, harvested during the states’ hunting seasons to check for chronic wasting disease (ROAR 3.17). State officials consider the appearance of CWD in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois as potential threats to the Maryland and Virginia deer herds, which number some 1.25 million animals combined. “There is a lot that is not known about the disease,” said John Surrick of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, “and it is important that we set up a monitoring program to detect it.” SCI encourages hunters to keep assisting Game and Fish officials with CWD monitoring efforts. For more information on CWD go to www.safariclub.org/cwd/cwd.htm, or contact your local state wildlife office.

10	First Amendment Exploited Last month, the US Supreme Court heard arguments on whether extortion and racketeering statutes can be used to combat the often-violent tactics of fanatical groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. PETA and other groups have, not surprisingly, argued against such an interpretation of these statutes, citing it as an infringement of First Amendment rights, according to The Buffalo News. While SCI is a staunch supporter of the Bill of Rights, it is clear that all too often the First Amendment is used as an excuse to harm person and property to further extremist agendas. To sound off to the US Supreme Court, call 888-293-6498.

13	Bottom of the Barrel From a television ad featuring a terrorist turkey taking hostages to a print advertisement comparing the crimes of Robert Pickton, who allegedly killed 15 women at his pig farm in Canada, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals continues to outdo itself with tasteless advertisement after tasteless advertisement. Thankfully, the ad built around Canada’s largest serial murder investigation was pulled after an internet survey condemned the planned advertisement which, according to The Gazette in Montreal “was set to be expanded into TV ads.”
