More Anti Movies from Disney

Disney's Anti-Hunting Bias is UnBEARable- (11/26)






Disney's most recent animated feature, "Brother Bear," is following in the
anti-hunting footsteps of "Bambi" as it hits theatres in time for the
holidays - and hunting seasons.





The movie is about a young Native American hunter, Kenai, who is transformed
into a bear. He becomes the adoptive father of a cub, only to find that
another hunter is stalking him. Daniel Neman, a writer for the Richmond
Times-Dispatch in Virginia notes, "the film makes an anti-hunting statement
that is out of place for American Indians."





In sportsmen's eyes, the Disney flick could not come at a poorer time. This
year, sportsmen have been forced to defend bear hunting across the country.
The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance's National Bear Hunting Defense Task Force and
other conservation groups rallied hunters to prevent Congress from banning
the use of bait to hunt black bears. It is currently working to protect a
recently established bear hunt in New Jersey. The Alliance is preparing for
campaigns in Maine and Alaska to protect bear hunting from anti-hunting
attacks that promise to be on the 2004 ballot.





Disney Goes Overboard

PETA has modified a film poster from the Disney blockbuster Finding Nemo to
promote its anti-fishing campaign. Disney's cartoon fish, Nemo and Marlin,
appear on PETA's website and leaflets that read, "Fish are friends, not
food!"





Take Action! Sportsmen should flood The Walt Disney Company with contacts
telling it that allowing PETA use of its Finding Nemo characters is aiding
an organization that has spent tens of thousands of dollars paying legal
fees for convicted terrorists. Inform the company that PETA is also being
investigated for sending $1,500 to the Animal Liberation Front, an
underground group identified by the FBI as a domestic terrorist
organization. Contact Mr. Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney
Company, 500 S. Buena Vista St., Burbank, CA, 91521-9722. Phone (818)
560-1000. Fax (818) 560-1930.

James, I wonder if you've asked Disney about the PETA poster? Is this,
indeed, a licensed trademark/copyright agreement between Disney and PETA
-- or is PETA doing what they typically do, pushing the law to the limit
by stealing Disney property to enlist them in their cause.

All the web research I've done shows that PETA thinks its a good idea --
but I can't find a legitimate Disney source who says they agreed to
license the characters. I'll write Eisner when you can show me that
Disney did, indeed, license this deal.

Mr. Nordengren,
They will not respond, but nor is this a trademark or copyright suit filed
against PETA by Disney, which is the standard when someone uses your images
without consent.

Let me know if you find anything out.

Every time there is a little bit of swearing is it necessary to use the family
group card. In all truth the lads ive meet when fishing swear alot. The F word
is used all the time. If there is a little bit of swearing i think you should
let it pass.

Yes; try reading the rofb F.A.Q.! And as far as your statement about
language used while fishing, I for one, at least try to keep it clean
when there are youngsters around...and you never know when they could be
accessing this newsgroup.

I don't condone swearing under those circumstances. My comment was i thought it
would be better to let it pass or burn itself out.
