Iditarod Trail Racer Kills Moose in Self-Defense

Coming soon to the NHL or NFL:

“I carry a beat-to-death, dirty, I mean horrible-looking .357 Mag. stainless Taurus 605SS2 with a 2-inch barrel,” he said. “It’s easy to grab, it always works, and if it falls through the ice on some river and never seen again, no big deal.” 

Iditarod rule number 34 deals with the necessity of killing an animal in defense of self and/or the dog team.

Rule 34 — Killing of Game Animals: In the event that an edible big game animal, i.e., moose, caribou, buffalo, is killed in defense of life or property, the musher must gut the animal and report the incident to a race official at the next checkpoint. Following teams must help gut the animal when possible. No teams may pass until the animal has been gutted and the musher killing the animal has proceeded. Any other animal killed in defense of life or property must be reported to a race official, but need not be gutted.

IMAO needs a Rule 34.

Bangladesh Teacher Suspended After Allegedly Shooting Student in Exam
bbc.com | March 7, 2024 | Lipika Pelham

Local media report that Arafat Amin Tomal, a 23-year-old student at a medical college in Sirajganj, north-western Bangladesh, got into an argument with Dr Sharif while undertaking an oral exam on Monday.

During the exam, Dr Sharif allegedly brought out a gun and pointed it at the student, shooting him in the right knee, reports say.

The bullet reportedly hit Mr Amin’s mobile phone, in the pocket of his trousers, which spared him life-threatening injuries, according to Bangladeshi newspaper the Daily Star, quoting the police.

According to the Dhaka Tribune, there were 45 students in the class when the alleged incident happened. They rushed to help, locked the teacher in a room, and called the police.

“Miss Lawless? What is the the head of the IBI doing here?”

“Sorry for the interruption but we are investigating a possible data breach and this is one end of the trail.”

“Well investigate as you need to but, what is the other end of the trail?”

“My next stop will be Mr. Oppo’s office.”

“Wow, I hope our part of IMAO has not been compromised.”

Over 140,000 [U.S.] Farms Lost in 5 Years
American Farm Bureau Federation | March 07, 2024 | Daniel Munch

Between 2017 and 2022, the number of farms in the U.S. declined by 141,733 or 7%.

Acres operated by farm operations during the same timeframe declined by 20.1 million (2.2%), a loss equivalent to an area about the size of Maine. Only 1.88% of acres operated and 1% of farm operations were classified under a non-family corporate farm structure.

…

USDA defines a farm as an operation that produced and sold, or normally would have sold, $1,000 or more of agricultural products during the census year.

.

Since 1950, the number of farm operations has declined by 3.75 million (66%) and the number of acres farmed declined by 323 million (27%) – slightly less than twice the size of Texas.

. . . the U.S. population more than doubled, going from 159 million in 1950 to 340 million in 2023.

…

Hawaii faces a unique situation, with only enough production and food storage capacity to sustain itself for seven days, exacerbated by a 7% loss in actively farmed land over the past five years.

Quick! Talk to a Canadian About Gasoline — Before It’s Too Late!

New Canadian Bill C-372 Would Ban You From Talking About Gasoline
Citizen Watch Report | 3/7/24

Bill C-372 is stirring up a storm that’s leaving citizens questioning the bounds of expression. This Canadian bill, on the brink of becoming law, is raising eyebrows for taking an unconventional stance on the discussion around fossil fuels.

The crux of the matter? Bill C-372 aims to make it illegal to advertise or express anything positive about fossil fuels. Yes, you read that right – talking about gasoline and oil could land you in hot water, with potential consequences including two years of jail time and a hefty $500,000 fine.

Text of the bill

“promotion means a representation about a product or service by any means, whether directly or indirectly, including any communication of information about the product or service and its price and distribution, that is likely to influence and shape attitudes, beliefs and behaviours about the product or service.‍”

His Majesty

Binding on His Majesty

This Act is binding on His Majesty in right of Canada or a province.

“It is prohibited for a person to promote a fossil fuel or the production of a fossil fuel in a manner that states or suggests that a fossil fuel or the practices of a producer or of the fossil fuel industry would lead to positive outcomes in relation to the . . . Canadian or global economy.”
