{1}  SHARK EXPOSES DEER TORTURE IN OHIO & RODEO CRUELTY ACROSS THE COUNTRY

"Bambi, quick, the thicket...(Bam!).....
Faster, Bambi, Faster......Don't look back......
Keep running......Keep running. (Bam!)

War on the Wildlife Series ...Part 5: Deer
SHARK: Showing Animals Respect and Kindness


GO VEGAN TEXAS!
with SHARK investigator Colleen Gardener
Today at 11am (CST)
90.1 FM-Houston and 89.5 FM-Galveston


"All I ask, if you decide to go to a rodeo, is take your eyes off the 
cowboys and put your eyes on the animals.  Look at everything that's done to 
them and the consequences of the violence and, then, ask yourself, 'why 
would I ever go back?' "
- Colleen Gardener
SHARK investigator & member Utah Animal Rights Coalition

"'Deer management programs' which are,  in reality,  mass slaughters, are 
not the clean, efficient or humane culling programs 'wildlife experts' would 
have the public believe. Whether the method is sharp shooting, rocket 
netting, net trapping, etc., the massacres are problematic and cruel, with 
the animals paying for every mistake their executioners make."
-- Steve Hindi, SHARK founder and chief investigator

"The deer were as wild as family dogs. When  the kill teams showed up at the 
feeding stations, the deer were very animated...and, then, they shot them at 
close range.  It was like some guy who goes out to feed his dogs, and 
instead starts shooting them.
They're nothing more than serial animal killers."
--- Colleen Gardner, SHARK investigator on scene in Akron, Ohio, February 22 
- March 6, 2004


The Akron-area Metro Parks serving Summit County, Ohio turned four parks 
into slaughterhouses recently. Over 100 victims were gunned down by shooters 
who were apparently as incompetent as they were merciless. SHARK¹s 
undercover video cameras documented animals shot, but left alive to suffer.

Colleen Gardener, SHARK investigator and member of the Utah Animal Rights 
Coalition, will be a guest on Go Vegan Texas! this morning and tell us how 
SHARK undercover video cameras documented: 1) A victim's struggle increased 
after a plastic bag was pulled over her head. 2) She struggled violently 
when a killer attempted to pull her by her leg. 3) The killer then tightened 
the bag around her head, and pulled her away by the head as she continued to 
thrash. "We don¹t know why the deer are being killed in the Metro Parks,"  
says Gardener.  "The deer are not starving. They are healthy, as is the 
park's ecosystem. For the most part, people visiting and living around the 
deer love them and do not want them killed. There are some people arrogant 
enough to believe that deer should be killed, because they eat their flowers 
and shrubs, but fortunately most people understand that moving next to 
wildlife means living with and appreciating them."

Gardener, a former rodeo contestant who competed in barrel racing events,  
will also talk about her undercover work with SHARK exposing the cruelty of 
rodeo,  particularly the work she did with SHARK founder and investigator 
Steve Hindi to try to cancel the rodeo events during the 2002 Winter Games 
in Salt Lake City.  "I couldn't believe they were going to give those 
cowards Gold Medals." She managed to smuggle a video camera into the Olympic 
rodeo the very first night.  Before she was discovered and ejected, Gardner 
filmed multiple incidents of cruelty.  "There were no disqualifications," 
she said.


Horsewoman Vivian Farrell, founder of Fund 4 Horses and member of the Go 
Vegan Texas! Collective, Committee on Animal Rights, will co-host today's 
program.

So, tune into Go Vegan Texas! today at 11am to hear the life's work of one 
committed activist, devoting her life to exposing animal abuse in the 
"family entertainment" event called rodeo, on its annual three week run, 
right now,  at the Houston Livestock and Rodeo Show.

Thank you for listening,

Under, Frasier's Wendi Malick, and Baywatch's Alexandra Paul tell us why the

animals used for fur. And we'll talk with Broadway star and Genesis Awards

{3}  MAD COWS & MEATOUT

Monday, March 15, 6-7 PM EST

WHRW-FM (90.5 in Binghamton, NY)
Live on the Internet: http://www.whrwfm.org/listenlive.php

Talk live: 607-777-2137

Join radio co-hosts Bill Huston (http://www.vegdot.org) & Mike Hudak 
(http://www.mikehudak.com) for a conversation with Dave Louthan 
(http://www.davelouthan.org) and Dawn Moncrief.

Dave, the slaughterhouse worker who killed the Mad Cow in Washington state 
last December, joins us for an update on Mad Cow politics: prohibitions 
against private BSE testing, Mexico's re-opening its door to U.S. beef and 
allegations of fraud in the official medical report describing THE Mad Cow 
as a "downer."

Our second guest, Dawn Moncrief, is the National Coordinator of the Great 
American Meatout for the Farm Animal Reform Movement (FARM) 
(http://www.farmusa.org). This marks the 20th year that FARM has coordinated 
the Meatout, billed as the world's largest and oldest annual grassroots diet 
education campaign. Join us to learn what FARM is doing to help people "kick 
the meat habit" at least for a day. [ http://www.meatout.org ]
