| | Elephants being hurt at the Louisville, Ky Zoo MAKE THEM STOP - JOIN ME AND PETA | | As of today PETA has asked the Louisville Zoo (Louisville, Ky look it up on the Internet) to STOP HURTING ELEPHANTS!!! Yes Hurting Elephants. They are using a tool called a Bullhook and other Circus-style-training methods that hurt elephants. We want them to switch to mush safer ways of handling these gentle giants with what is called "protected contact." With protected contact keepers don't use the awful corporal punishment that has been used for many years. Instead, protected contact is a safety barrier always separates the elephants from the keepers.For those of you that don't know a Bullhook is a long rod with s steel point and a hook at one end. The Keepers JAB the Bullhook into the most sensitive parts of a elephants body as a form of control. Such as, behind the ears, inside the mouth, in and around the anus area, and in the tender spots under the chin and around the feet.I am pleading EVERYONE, and yes I know this is world wide to write the Louisville Zoo by getting the address on the Internet express your views, write the Mayor of Louisville tell him what you think. Make all the noise you think this shocking abuse needs to come to the light.The above... | |
| | Ask the Louisville Zoo to Stop Using Bullhooks on Elephants | | I am asking everyone here at myLot to please join me. PETA has asked the Louisville Zoo to make a New Years resolution to abandon its bullhooks and circus-style training methods for elephants and switch to a safer, more humane method of elephant handling called "protected contact." With protected contact, keepers do not use any form of corporal punishment, and a safety barrier always separates the elephants from the keepers.A bullhook is a long, heavy rod with a steel point and a hook at one end Keepers jab bullhooks into the most sensitive parts of an elephant's body, such as behind the ears, inside the ear or mouth, in and around the anus, and in the tender spots under the chin and around the feet.Please contact the LouisvilleZoo.com to express your concern about the cruel use of bullhooks to train and manage elephants and demand that they switch immediately to protected-contact method.The above information was gathered from PETA and you can find out more by going to getactive.peta.org/campaign/bullhooks_louisville_zooI live here in Louisville and have sent letters to the Mayor Jerry Amberson at Louisvilleky.gov This is important. Please join me. Have a Happy... | |
| | Looking for Friends in Louisville KY | | I live in Louisville, Ky and I an looking for new people to meet. I have been pretty much a recluse the last several years because of my disabilities and in the new year I have decided to try to venture out more. So that means I will be seeing things in a city I have lived in for 15 years and not seen. Kinda sad when you think about it. Louisville is really pretty to! The old buildings and all the attractions. You know I have yet to see world famous Churchill Downs where the Kentucky Derby is run every year. So if you are from Louisville please feel free to hit my request friend button so we can start talking. Thanks and Happy New Year. | |

| | OJ Simpson Asked To Leave Louisville, KY Restaurant | | I just saw a report on the news that a restaurant owner in Louisville asked OJ to leave his restauraunt. The owner says the reason he asked OJ to leave is because of all the attention OJ attracts. The owner also says that OJ came up to him and said he understood. After OJ left the other patrons started applauding the owner. If you owned a restaurant and OJ came in would you ask him to leave? | |
| | Owner of Louisville, KY Steakhouse Refuses to serve OJ Simpson--Race??? | | Jeff Ruby, owner of an upscale restaurant, refused to serve OJ Simpson this past Saturday because of his personal beliefs, mainly "The way he continues to torture the lives of those families...with his attitude and conduct."When a fellow customer went to Ruby, "giddy" about seeing Simpson (WHY?!?!), Ruby made the decision to ask him to leave. Ruby claims he told Simpson "I'm not serving you"; the second time he stated it, Simpson came up to him, said he understood and would leave with his party. Simpson's attorney is now playing the race card (WHY?!?!)--it had nothing to do with race according to Ruby; it was with his past. Ruby says that this incident showed the first sign of class from Simpson since 1994 by leaving the restaurant quietly. Ruby also claims about 100 positive emails regarding the incident.This is not the first time OJ has been in the restaurant; his picture used to hang in the restaurant when he posed with the owner. After the killings, it was removed from display.Honestly, I think Ruby was within his rights to ask Simpson to leave and it did NOT have anything to do with race; more so, it was over a personal conviction that someone had over what... | |
| | Man got to prison for putting tattoos on a baby | | Oh this is so sick, A man got in Jail because he decided that it looks cute to put tattoos on a baby, Okay I'm a person who was supportive of the tattoo culture but its just so wrong to put tattoos on a poor innocent baby. I think it was just wrong beyond the walls of morality. I do admit I have my 1st tattoo at age 15 but its my own free will, A baby cant say no, Its just sick to do it in a poor baby.

| | Rand Paul, Civil Rights | | http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/05/20/tea-party-favorite-rand-paul-criticizing-civil-rights-act/?test=latestnewsRepublican Senate nominee Rand Paul scrambled to explain his criticism of the landmark U.S. Civil Rights Act, which outlawed racial discrimination, saying he agrees with its goals but questions the federal government imposing its will on businesses.The political novice and Kentucky candidate issued a statement Thursday amid the fallout from a series of interviews in which Paul said he would have opposed forcing businesses to integrate under the law.Democrats seized on the comments to argue that Paul holds extremist views and shouldn't be the choice of voters for the U.S. Senate.Enacted in 1964, the Civil Rights Act was landmark legislation that outlawed racial segregation in the schools, the workplace and in public facilities. It also banned unequal application of voter registration requirements."I support the Civil Rights Act because I overwhelmingly agree with the intent of the legislation, which was to stop discrimination in the public sphere and halt the abhorrent practice of segregation," Paul said in the statement.Paul added that... | |
