animal apparently canned chase explicit fair history hunters hunting involve justify obsessed opportunity patron president providing regular rhetoric supposed vice
Cheney has a real history of questionable hunting behavior. He is apparently obsessed with hunting and is a regular patron of canned hunts. We don't like to see the Vice President of the U.S. providing pretty explicit endorsement of this practice, because canned hunting violates all the rhetoric that hunters use to justify themselves. Hunting is supposed to involve a fair chase with the animal having an opportunity to evade the hunter. But this eliminates the possibility of failure.

allowing animals ban cattle cow downer dragged expand food higher injured mad playing processing risk russian sick suffer supply temporary terribly walk
We have been playing Russian roulette with our food supply for years by allowing these downer animals into the food chain, ... This much-needed legislation will codify a temporary administrative ban on the processing of downer cattle and it will expand the ban on the processing of other downer livestock.

act animals apply clearly definition failure farm given happy hour hours law limit means primary reliance send time transport trucks understand virtually water whatsoever
Given the industry's reliance on trucks as the primary means of transporting farm animals, the USDA's failure to apply the Twenty-Eight Hour Law to trucks renders the act virtually useless, ... Transporting farm animals for 28 or more hours without rest, food, or water is clearly inhumane, and the USDA's failure to place any time limit whatsoever on truck transport is indefensible. If the USDA doesn't understand the definition of 'truck,' we would be happy to send over a dictionary.

ethical hunters
Most ethical hunters see that as an objectionable way to act. This is not hunting, it is an open-air abattoir (slaughterhouse).
