Man holds hostages at Discovery TV building

“I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it,” t he alleged manifesto reads, adding:" Nothing is more important than saving ... the Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels. The humans? The planet does not need humans.”

That's right. Save the froggies.

[Gnome Rage]

The discovery channel is the shit - he should die. kthx.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

OF COURSE the Squirrels.

I'm pretty pissed that he didn't include moose OR penguins on this list.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

2. All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs' places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.

Today was a bad day for saving the froggies, and of course the squirrels.

Over here we have this thing called news in 60 seconds shown in the ad break of some shows after 10pm.
This was one of the stories and by the end I was like, did that really happen?
It was just after a famous cyclist found dead in a padlocked bag and just before the alledged revealing of Top Gears Stig.
No one can take onboard this kind of news that fast.

The reporter assured us he was shot dead by cops. I was just thinking fuck me that's awful in the same heartbeat as thinking oh cool Top Gear!

[RichardCranium]

It all started when my mother took my bike away
Cuz I murdered my guinea pig and stuck him in the microwave

Did the Stig get unveiled!

[Asha]

It looked like basically someone's dad.

[Celephais]

Fuck well... yeah I don't want to see him then. I was hoping he'd have dragons for eyes and his nose was made out of space shuttles.

Didn't see any mention of anteaters, clearly this was staged.

[upperguy]

Lee said he then felt an ''awakening," watched former Vice President Al Gore's documentary ''An Inconvenient Truth," and decided he had been doing too little to protect the environment.

fuckin Al Gore

LOL one of the conservative radio guys made a funny spoof about the 'enviro terrorist' and the demands of the organization of Al-GoreQueda.

Personally I think this is just bad for activists. The only non-violent movement and now we have this guy to represent us. GREAT.

Non violent? Since when? Green"peace"? PITA?

PETA uses shock tactics but they're non-violent, unless you're confusing them with crazies like the Animal Liberation Front.

Was a little worried about a friend of mine who works there for a while. Because of how the evacuation happened some of the people who were eating lunch got stuck with no phone, wallet, car. Didnt get an email from my friend who works there till the guy was already dead.

That guy was completely bat shit insane linking his agenda to semi-rational protestors is a stretch. I think it was about as likely that this guy would be protesting ice cream.

Actually the ties between PETA and ALF / ELF are pretty strong.

They claim they are non-violent.. but they aren't. If they really believed in non-violence, they wouldn't donate to their sister organizations that believe violence is the best means to their end.

This.

My SO has been working at dog shows for years. She told me about some story where PETA showed up at a dogshow and started releasing peoples dogs into the area, where they could get in to highways and other dangerous circumstances.

This was not the intent of their plan, however. As it turns out, in this specific county where the dog show was held at the time unaltered dogs were to be put down if caught by the local animal control agencies.

I don't know about you, but that seems pretty violent to me. Perhaps not directly so, but definately intended.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

HM, I'll consider myself corrected then.

Also, that's fucked up.

We receive regular mandatory training on how to deal with these "non-violent" groups/individuals if they ever manage to shoot their way through security.

Oh and PETA...


People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has been described as "by far the most successful radical organization in America." The key word is radical. PETA seeks "total animal liberation," according to its president and co-founder, Ingrid Newkirk. That means no meat or dairy, of course; but it also means no aquariums, no circuses, no hunting or fishing, no fur or leather, and no medical research using animals. PETA is even opposed to the use of seeing-eye dogs.


In the past, PETA has handled the press for the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), a violent, underground group of fanatics who plant firebombs in restaurants, destroy butcher shops, and torch research labs. The FBI considers ALF among America's most active and prolific terrorist groups, but PETA compares it to the Underground Railroad and the French Resistance. More than 20 years after its inception, PETA continues to hire convicted ALF militants and funds their legal defense. In at least one case, court records show that Ingrid Newkirk herself was involved in an ALF arson.

PETA has even begun to adopt the tactics of an ALF offshoot known as SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty). This group is notorious for taking protests outside the boardroom and into the living room, attacking their targets at their homes.

In 2001, three masked SHAC members brutally bludgeoned a medical researcher outside his home in England. The lead attacker was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison. A few months later, SHAC attacked another research industry employee on his doorstep with a chemical spray to his eyes, leaving him temporarily blinded and writhing in pain. The following year, Newkirk was asked her opinion of SHAC in the Boston Herald. Her response? "More power to SHAC if they can get someone's attention."

By 2003, PETA activists had adopted SHAC's protest techniques, stalking and harassing fast-food restaurant executives. Not content to write letters and picket the chain restaurant's offices, PETA's leaders met with the CEO's pastor, and visited his country club and the manager of one of his favorite restaurants. PETA activists, one dressed in a chicken suit, even protested at the church of two executives, annoying worshipers by driving a truck with giant screens of slaughterhouse video back and forth along the street.

In an effort to win more media exposure, PETA has adopted the counter-intuitive tactic of buying stock in restaurant and food companies that serve and sell meat. After buying just enough shares to qualify, PETA's pattern is to introduce shareholder resolutions that would require animal-rights-oriented practices in the way animals are handled and slaughtered.

PETA's goal as a shareholder, of course, is not to turn a profit. Its resolutions, if passed, would increase the cost of doing business and lower the value of everyone's investment. The group has claimed that it's "not trying to remove meat from the menu." But with a stated long-term goal of "total animal liberation," pushing for animal-welfare changes is just a first step. PETA's short-term goals are to economically cripple these companies, force them to increase the retail price of meat, and nudge consumers toward eating less of it.
