Thanks, Gabe. I can’t say mine is much better as far as editorializing my content, but as an ex-teacher and newspaper editor, I can tell you that I’d never have run an article like Ms Huang’s.

Josh, I started writing up a response on the Newsweek website, but by the end of the first day after the article came out there were already several hundred replies…most of which were kneejerk name-calling posts, which means that nobody would bother to read down far enough to see or comprehend a logical reply. On the bright side, several other blogs, including some national magazine blogs (Field and Stream, for one) have done rebuttals.

[...] Evolution? Well that seems to be the the premise that Newsweek is pushing. Philip over at The Hog Blog was the one that alerted me to this article and Philip has done a great job of debunking this junk [...]

Great write-up Phillip. Kudos for producing a better article than the ‘experts’ at the Newsweek were capable of. Great work!

Typical. Media bias must be met with media, however, and, eventually, education. Right now, I say get hold of many newspaper hunting writers and have them write about this. Perhaps the subsequent attention could bring up some additional national focus…

I am not a Newsweek fan at all, so this article really doesn’t come as a surprise to me. It is definitely propaganda – pure and simple. There is no other reason – other than their desire to make hunting look bad – that they would publish this article that contains theories rather than facts.

They are just pushing an agenda – plain and simple!

Phillip,
You have hit the nail upon the head when you stated “Anti Hunting Agenda” and “Propaganda”

I was there in Orlando, as a Tile Setter when I was 13 to 15 years of age when the developers (along with the state of Florida’s compliance) would eradicate with diesel and fire, thousands upon thousands of animals and reptiles when they started building Disney World.

Now, when you visit the park they tout conservation, green practices and denounce Hunting of any sort and claim that certain species are close to extinction because of over hunting.
They place in the publics mind (by propaganda slogan ridden signage) that “all” hunting is at the same level as poaching.

Does anyone in the public sector even “care” about the truth? Or are they all victims of the propaganda machine created by the far left media!

The fact remains though, that myself and hundreds of other individuals witnessed the wholesale slaughter of thousands of animals so that The Wonderful World of Disney could be built.

Where was Ms Huang when all of the above was occurring?
