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.

paranoid drivel snipped

You realize, I would hope, that protesting cartoon characters and their use
would leave you and your supporters looking bad.
Go hunting, go fishing, and worry about larger issues than Disney's
involvement.
Has hunting declined since, or due to, the release of Bambi? More to the point,
PETA and similar organizations play on the overreaction of their opponents.
Don't play their game. Simply stay informed, follow the legislation, stay
active, and chill out.

And, of course, refuse to add any money to any Disney coffer and let them
know why.

I can spend the rest of my life in FL and never feel the need to go to
Disney World.

One supposes you could spend a multitude of lifetimes in any number of
places without giving any of them the sort of examination they
deserve.....or need.

If you wish to spend an exhorbitant amount of money to wander around a theme
park, stand in slow-moving lines to ride various thrill rides that vary only
in name from park to park, dodge hordes of over-sugared children, risk being
run down repeatedly by strollers propelled by parents who feel that their
accidental acts of procreation should somehow advance them to the front of
the line and negate their responsibility to watch where, and into whom, they
push their buggies, please feel free to join the tourist hordes and spend
your money in FL. I've been to a theme park. I've no need to visit
another, even if it be in FL.

There are many places in FL to enjoy that are not owned and dumbed down by
the rat that ate Orlando. I prefer to frequent them.

On the other hand, despite your snide supposition, there are thousands of
places on this earth where I could happily spend a year or so enjoying the
topography, flora and fauna, history, and recreational opportunities that
are particular to those places.

Have a happy holiday, if such is capable.

An examination of what people appear to think they are responding to is
often more revealing than the response itself. I'd have bet a shiny new
nickel that you would think I was talking about looking at places.

Um.....yeah....same to you, if green are orthogonal......I guess.

Dear Mr. Littleton,

I will disregard your disrespectful opening comments and proceed. I do not
believe it is the cartoon characters that are the issue but rather the
Disney Corporation which also owns companies like ABC and ESPN.

Perhaps where you live there are not real threats to fishing, but there in
many places in this country, including movements to ban catch and release
fly fishing.

It is not a game. There is a lawsuit in NJ right now to recall all hunting
and fishing licenses. It is not a game.

Please wake up, not for anyone's sake but yours and your kids.

What disrespectful opening comments ? You sound like a raving loon,
now THERE'S a disrespectful comment. Tom has given you some very sound
advice and I will add the following; the URL in your sig doesn't work.

Mr. Fortenberry,
Does the drunk think that another beer will do any harm? And if so, does he
care?

I rest my case.

While I do not know "Tom," I have not met him in the course of legislative
issues so I am not sure how sound his advice in the world beyond newsgroup
where pontificating costs nothing but a keystroke or two.

Wake up, Gentlemen, the suit in NJ to recall all fishing and hunting
licenses is real. Don't think it can happen in your state? Keep hiding in
the USENET.

I apologize that the URL does not work in the signature, but I am certain
that is a function of your newsreader and not the URL. Thanks for pointing
it out.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Maybe you dont have something configured correctly?
