    We have been playing Russian roulette with our food supply for years by allowing these downer animals into the food chain, ...

Animals too sick or injured to walk are a higher risk for mad cow disease, E. coli and salmonella, and they suffer terribly when they're dragged to slaughter.

    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.

It doesn't count surrounding areas.
