HZT Week 6

Missed last week and little late this week but we have a candidate for Scumbag of the Year in our Zero of the Week area. Never forget the name of the worlds biggest coward and scumbag WALTER JAMES PALMER of Minnesota.



Hero of the Week

With the Zero of the Week being such a piece of shit and just pure evil, I needed to find a hero that would lighten the load and bring a smile to peoples faces.

So this weeks Hero of the Week is two fold

1) Worlds Oldest Panda (who doesn't love Pandas after all).

Jia jia the Panda celebrates his 37th birthday and becomes officially the oldest panda ever.

2) How could we not make Cecil the human loving Lion a hero as well.

Rest in Peace Cecil
Rest in Peace

Zero of the Week (AKA Scumbag of the Year thus far)

So I'm sure by now most people have heard the name Walter James Palmer.
Hes the COWARD that murdered the 13 year old Lion known as Cecil in Zimbabwe for $55,000.

But his evil goes so far beyond just killing a Lion (which to me at least is unthinkable and beyond defend-able)

He targeted this lion (its name was Cecil and had a hugely celebrated history in Zimbabwe and was a KNOWN PROTECTED LION) INSIDE the security of a Animal Sanctuary in Zimbabwe.

He lured Cecil the Lion out of the sanctuary by feeding it and playing on its well known reputation for loving and trusting humans, as he pulled the lion outside the protected area

He then shot Cecil the Lion with a bow and arrow severely injuring, terrorizing, and traumatizing the Lion. Understand the confusion Cecil had to be going through at this point. He had always loved humans and interacted with them with no incident. He was as close to the very definition of the FRIENDLY LION. And this piece of shit dentist was torturing, tormenting, and terrorizing him out of the blue for no reason at all.

He then tortured Cecil the Lion for 40 hours before FINALLY ending its suffering by shooting it with a rifle.

He then TRIED to destroy the radio collar around the Cecil the Lions neck (tried to destroy evidence of his corrupt and evil deeds)

He then skinned Cecil and decapitated him so he could have his trophy's and pictures of his COWARDLINESS
Make no mistake, Walter James Palmer is EVIL.
And he is a fucking coward of the worst kind.
If you are religious type, this Piece of garbage is what you would call MISSING HIS SOUL
And whats worse is he thinks he is the victim here because people around the world are disgusted and enraged by his cowardly actions.

The USA is currently deciding if they will lay charges against him or if they will extradited to Zimbabwe for them to charge him.

Personally I say send him to Zimbabwe and if he EVER gets out of their prison system. Then you charge and convict him in America and make him spend the rest of his natural life in prison.

Its not enough punishment for what he did but its as close as we can get to a fitting punishment.

What will probably happen is he will get a slap on wrist by the USA legal system. So if that happens its up to the world to make sure this piece of garbage is never forgotten and his crimes against humanity are held against him for ever and ever and ever.

This cowardly piece of crap should never have a single night of rest going forward.

I honestly can not fully describe the level of hatred I have for this cowardly embarrassment of a human being. If he truly loves the thrill of the hunt (as he claims still) lets toss him in some underground fight circuits where his prey will fight back. Lets see how well he does there and if the thrill of the hunt still holds the same appeal when some monster of a man is breaking his arms and legs for the amusement of the crowd.

Some how I suspect Walter James Palmer only finds the thrill when he holds all the power and weapons.

As I said, he is the very definition of a EVIL EVIL EVIL COWARD.

Below is a number of articles on this piece of crap along with links to two different petitions. One asking Lion Hunting be banned outright and the other demanding Justice for Cecil the Lion

Also, if you are interested in donating or just following different Big Cat research or foundations, here are a few of my personal long time favorites I been following for years.

Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (as mentioned in the Jimmy Kimmel video, this is the Research Conversationalists who had tagged Cecil and were researching the Lions in Zimbabwe)

Big Cat Rescue Located in Tampa Florida USA this is one of my personal favorite sanctuary/rescues. They rescue Big Cats from bad situations like Circuses, traveling shows, zoos, and even very stupid people that try to have Big Cats as household pets. These people do very good work.

Tech of the Week
Honestly even though I'm very interested in Augmentation and robotics and everything like that. I couldn't pass up this gem of a story as the movie Terminator meets Modern Science, and some of the world lose their heads in a panic.

Enjoy it for what it is.
Or panic with them if that's your thing

Killer Robots Must be Banned

HZT Week 5

Hero of the Week:

Colorado Fish and Wildlife Agency along with Colorado Police and University of Boulder Security.

They all get big thumbs up because they all didn't shoot first and not ask questions later.

If you are not aware of what I am speaking about, a black bear decided to visit the University of Colorado campus and unlike its relative in Ontario who visited a Newmarket area, this bear left alive and well, relocated to a region suitable for it to live in.

We need more Wildlife and police that do not simply kill any animal that enters our boundaries. Our boundries us to be their hunting areas and as we expand and grow they are pushed back into smaller and smaller areas and habitats. So the LEAST we can do is help them relocate to suitable habitats when they does occasionally encroach on our ever expanding territories.

I understand if a animal attacks or harms a person or pet or another living thing.

But in both cases above the bears simply wandered into populated areas and got lost.
The Newmarket Bear was loss for 3 days and had 0 incidents with people/pets/anything. It had shown NO AGGRESSION what so ever when it was shot dead for being scared and looking agitated when cornered and chased up a tree by police.

STUPIDITY won out that day.

So big thumbs up to Colorado Fish and Wildlife for NOT just killing the bear.

Kinda sad we are now at such a low point that we need to cheer and celebrate when people simply do their jobs correctly and competently, but it is what it is, and thats where we find ourselves now in society in general.

Please note: I will say however it does seem that Ontario Canada has a kill on sight standing orders from our provincial government as every incident with any type of animal since Liberals came into power has resulted in the animal being killed. Hell they even banned a dog breed rather then spend 10 minutes to educate themselves on the issue.

Ontario right now is sadly ran by a very anti animal and anti wildlife government (based completely on their actions and choices made).

As a 2nd Celebration of someone doing their job correctly and with honor I would like to cheer for BC Conversation Officer Bryce Casavant for REFUSING to kill two bear cubs because its mother repeatably opened a poorly locked meat freezer to find food. The mother was shot dead as per laws about wildlife raiding human settlements and garbage (which again would not have been possible if humans had secured the locker properly. Last time I checked Bears where not known for their lock picking skills).

The Officer was given order to kill the two cubs by superiors. (video of the two cubs ordered to die)
Bryce Casavant rejected those orders and did what was best for the cubs.

And for that Bryce Casavant deserves huge praise.

Sadly Casavant was suspended for doing the right things because apparently following bad orders is more important then CONSERVING WILDLIFE (again Bryce Casavant is a CONSERVATION OFFICER FOR BC WILDLIFE).

Followup: While I am NOT a fan of the fanatical extremist group Anonymous, they did involve themselves in this issue by claiming to have "hacked" the transcript (emails) of communication between Casavant and superior. My personal opinion after reading the transcripts (if real) is the superiour wanted the cubs dead and the issue over and was not interested in having this issue hang around for long. So he tried to manipulate the law to back his demands.

If the transcripts (emails)are true then I am even more impressed with Bryce Casavant for standing up and doing the right thing at the right time.

Zero(s) of the Week

Well if you read the Heroes then Im sure you can guess the Zeros.

Take a bow Kathleen Wynne
Take a bow Ontario Provincial Police
Take a bow Ontario Wildlife
Take a bow BC Fish and Game (or what ever their official government name is)

You all completely failed innocent animals who simply found themselves in the wrong place.

You all should be down right ashamed.
Here in Ontario we are hammered daily by extreme left wing policies and agendas.
Protest of the week.
Yet NONE of these self serving hypocrites had the decency to stand up for some wildlife that had done NO HARM AT ALL.
In the case of the Newmarket Bear the Fish and Wildlife was 2 minutes away when the Newmarket bear was shot dead. TWO MINUTES.
Police say they didn't know how far away Wildlife was (what no one has a cell phone? cant call dispatch?) Take your fucking finger of the trigger and push a 10 digit number to get informed.
And wildlife, the bear was loose for almost 3 days but that was inconvenient for your week end?

Personally I think the Premier, the police that shot, and the wildlife that didnt respond should all be outright fired for GROSS INCOMPETENCE in the work place.

But in regard to Kathleen Wynne, that accusation of her sadly lacking abilities as a Premier and human being is hardly a new thing. She is a Walking, talking, travesty to any one else. Under her the disabled have suffered, the elderly have suffered, the wildlife has suffered, jobs have suffered, EVERYONE but those that share her sexuality and extreme left wing brand of socialism have suffered. She is an absolute disgrace on many levels beyond wildlife protection and conservation.


Tech of the Week:


Technology invented by Canada, used in space.

Interesting article on technology developed in Canada (with the support of the Canadian Government) and how they impact medical and technological areas on Earth.

Definitely worth a read.

HZT Week 4

Hero of the Week

Animal Rescues Big and Small

Sad truth is, despite being a rather positive person over all, its getting harder and harder to find heroes each week worth mention (and its almost to point where it should be top 10 list for the Zeros).

So when no one jumps out, I can always rely on the Animal Rescues who work so dedicated and tirelessly day in and day out for the betterment of discarded dogs, cats, elephants, lions, tigers, bears, wolves, and just every type of animal out there that seems to so desperately need our protection and aide more and more.

So this week I will focus on 2 specific rescues

Gentle Jake's Coonhound Rescue  
Based out of North Bay, Ontario, Canada area (but operate all over Ontario and is constant contact with other Coonhound rescues through out Canada and the USA)

From their Website "Gentle Jake's Coonhound Rescue is a small, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the memory of my beloved Coonhound, Jake.  Our volunteers are dedicated to helping homeless and abandoned Coonhounds find loving and permanent homes as indoor pets. 

We are based and operate in Ontario. We have been rescuing these wonderful hounds since 2003. We are also a member of Coonhound Companions   where our goal is to educate the public about the misconception that hounds do not make good family pets. We want to share our love of Coonhounds with the whole continent, with hopes of inspiring dog lovers everywhere to consider adopting a Coonhound. "
This is the rescue I fostered for and these are good people, dedicated and caring people who do the very best they can  to make a difference.

Take a few minutes to look at their Website or even their Facebook Page and see if there is anything you can do to help. Even if its just a small donation or spreading their name around to others.

Big Cat Rescue 

Based out of Tampa, Florida, USA 

From their Website: "Big Cat Rescue is one of the largest accredited sanctuaries in the world dedicated to abused and abandoned big cats.

We are home to about 80+ lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other species most of whom have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or retired from performing acts.

What sets Big Cat Rescue apart is that we are working to end the abuse at its root by ending the private possession and trade in exotic cats through legislation and education.

The sanctuary began rescuing exotic cats in Nov. 4, 1992.

This is one of my favorite Facebook feeds. They upload amazing pictures of cats big and small they have rescued and care for. Update information of future rescues and incidents they are involved in to protect these beautiful and majestic animals. Over time you start to feel you know these cats on a personal basis as you watch them grow, mature, settle in, and let their personalities come out.

If you have never watched a video of a circus Lion who lived its life in a cage and in constant fear and pain from the trainers whip, take its first few steps into its new habitat complete with pools/lakes, grass, trees, sunlight, treats, toys, but most of all freedom to just be a cat. Well you are missing a truly amazing visual experience.

Take a few minutes out of your day and visit their Website or even their Facebook Page and fall in love with these great animals that we have so precious few of now a days.



Zero of the Week

Well once again there is no shortage on morons and idiots lining up to be spoken about. 

But with what is happening in Greece today I just feel the biggest ZERO OF THE WEEK has to be the concept of SOCIALISM in general. And of course those that promote this concept no matter how many times it fails and ruins good honest peoples life's, livelihoods, standard and way of life. 

Today it appears Greece, so dedicated to having their government pay for everything for them, that they are rejecting the ONLY AIDE OFFER that has been offered. All because it would mean removing the socialist cover and making some hard choices on fiscal responsibility going forward.

Greece apparently has bought in to the completely false concept that you never run out of other peoples money to spend. They seem to think everything will stay the same way if they reject fiscal responsibility and just keep expecting everything to be free and paid for by their completely broke government.

Newsflash Greece, your government is out of money and out of credit. 
No one is lining up to lend you more money
Your banks are broke and have put unheard of limits on withdraw amounts
Your government agencies are closed because there is no money to pay them to keep them employed
What good is a guarantee of your pensions if there is no money to pay the pension.

Socialists the world over do not seem to understand this simple cause and effect.
When you over spend and rely on credit
Eventually you run out of credit
You can promise your workers $15.00/hour or $100.00/hour
You can promise your people their very own pension 
You can promise anything you want
BUT when the money runs out,
Those guarantees and promises are meaningless if there is no money to back them up

Detroit went heavy Union (a core socialist principle) and it went belly up when the costs were greater then the earnings for to long. Unions once served a true purpose and need but now a days cause far more problems then they have fixed in recent memory. A outdated concept designed to put pressure on employers and governments, regardless of the real income received by said business.

Greece is bankrupt and in denial as to how bad it is. They are defaulting on debt payments but seem to be clinging to this failed hope that next year their economy will suddenly grow (for first time in 6 years)  despite making zero reductions to the over bloated pay outs they have encored as a Socialist government. 

Puerto-Rico is on verge of collapse from massive debt like Greece

Closer to Home, Ontario Canada under a 15 year socialist regime is so far in debt and driving business's away so fast that many predict it may start to feel the Detroit style effect. And Ontario socialist government is STILL increasing spending which is causing huge increases to its debt load.

There is no magic money tree to fund socialism.
EVERY Government needs to be firmly planted in FISCAL conservatism (note that FISCAL, not Social)

Personally I believe in Universal Healthcare
I believe in taking care of your sick, disabled, helpless 
I believe in treating workers fairly and honestly
But ALL of these principles can be achieved while remaining FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE 
When ANY would be leader says stuff like
"I have no problem running a deficit budget to fund all my extra programs"
"Budgets will balance themselves"
"Raising unprecedented increases of cost through taxation and other revenue tools on businesses will not negatively effect Business"Referring to ANY taxation or cost increase as a "revenue tool"
And so many more TELLING STATEMENTS OF POOR FISCAL KNOWLEDGE.
When you see or read those from any political candidate, of any political stripe, 
you need to run the other way as fast as you can.

Socialism on its own does not work.
It never has worked.
We see the disastrous effects of it more and more as left wing governments promise the moon just to hold onto power. And the people who want everything handed to them continue to vote these types in.

So this weeks ZERO is the entire concept of Socialism and any people who refuse to see the REAL EFFECTS of Socialism.

Worlds FIRST "Feeling" Prosthetic Leg

Amazing advancements in Prosthetic's. In a nut shell they can now produce the nerve ending that allow non prosthetic  people to tell the textures of surfaces they are walking on.

Gravel

Another HUGE step forward in replacing missing limbs with artifical ones that work as well (or better) as any regular person.

Eliminating many physical type disabilities.

Exciting times we live in.
