Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 CANADA'S ANNUAL GOPHER-KILLING DERBY 'A BLAST'An annual gopher-killing derby that kicked off this week in Canadais coming under fire as a "redneck bloodbath" by irate activists,but participants say it's a blast. The aim of the game is forhayseed hunters to acquire the most gopher tails, with the winnergetting a cash prize. The yearly blast-a-rama is conducted by theSaskatchewan Wildlife Federation as a way to control the cute - butdestructive - varmints. Less gophers means less crop damage for theheavily agricultural province. But the hunt has triggered a floodof condemnation from animal-rights activists.http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/45198.htm ---Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.332 / Virus Database: 186 - Release 06/03/02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
