Of course, when I posted my comments to the LA Times fluff article challenging Wayne to the 50% donation Humanewatch has challenged them to do it is now over 24 hrs and they have not posted it on their site.  I guess they pick and choose what comments get put up.

Interesting side point about the “Bambi plague” issue:

There’s a suburb in the Milwaukee area called Brown Deer. To say they have a deer problem would be a tiny understatement.

There’s a place near Brown Deer called Fairy Chasm.

Back in the good old days, Fairy Chasm was a water-formed slot canyon like you see a lot in the Southwest, but heavily vegetated - almost tropical. There were several varieties of fern, moss, grass, and numerous wildflower species which thrived in the warm microclimate caused by the little canyon’s sheltered nature and its hotspring water source. In addition, there were a couple subspecies of turtles and lizards found nowhere else.

The deer pretty much left the place alone, because it was a box canyon, and as such, a very dangerous place to be for a prey animal.

Then came the settlers, who eliminated every deer predator except coyotes, but who themselves hunted the deer, so the population was still managed, and the deer still avoided the deathtrap that was Fairy Chasm.

Then came the ‘70’s, and the “Disney Cartoons are Actually Nature Documentaries” movement, and hunting was banned in Brown Deer. Fairy Chasm was still safe for a few years, but then between population pressure and a few deer realizing the canyon was no longer a deathtrap, the party was over.

These days, Fairy Chasm is an ugly, muddy ravine where nothing grows anywhere within reach of a deer. Most of the unique species are extinct, never to return.

But the Bambi-Boombies are safie-wafies from the EVIL HUNTERS (cue dramatic music)!!!, and that’s the only thing which matters to the “wildlife management by charisma” morons, so all is well.

You know, it is difficult to trust anyone who “says” they are doing one thing but find out they have a very different agenda other than saving animals, and that being to perpetuate the vegan lifestyle in order to save the lives of animals and showing more “compassion”.  The amount of money that HSUS and other animal rights activist and liberationist, has cost the economy, well they should be ashamed.  But the one thing is he does not mind destroying human lives at all using deceit and lies as we are seeing now in many dog confiscation cases, in which HSUS has found to break laws to obtain animals, only to sell to someone else or in many cases they are killed.
I remember seeing that HSUS donated 12 thousand pounds of dog food, and later found out they donated 700 pounds and Mars, donated over 11 thousand pounds.  To me that is like stealing someone elses good deed,
not telling the truth.
I just really don’t think that Wayne Pacelle is a nice person after all, first having no compassion for people nor do those who are his followers and truly, has little compassion for animals.  He has found a way to make a lot of money.
