Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 ANIMAL WELFARE ACTIVISTS DECRY PROPOSED BUFFALO 'HUNT' Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier, Josh Nelson, January 19, 2008 Independence --- Sportsmen around the state will have a crack at their own trophy buffalo at an auction today, but the prize animal's sale has created some concern from animal welfare activists. A 1,600-pound buffalo is being sold at an annual sportsmen's auction put on by Emmett Donnelly Auctioneering and Appraisal Service in Independence. The auction also features several other items for sale, including shotguns and rifles, decoys, knives and other outdoors equipment. Winners of the buffalo will get to shoot the animal and keep the meat, said Jeff Temeyer, the animal's owner. " They get the whole critter, " he said. This is the second year the buffalo have been sold at auction, said Emmett Donnelly, owner of the service. So far, he said, it's been a pretty big hit. more at: http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2008/01/19/news/regional/2276948810186d9a8625\ 73d400836bb4.txt Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.
