Animal Rights Activists Free 30-40,000 Minks, most die as a result

Between 30,000 and 40,000 farm-raised minks were released into the wild near Eden Valley, Minnesota, earlier this week when burglars—presumably animal rights activists—cut the fence to a mink-pelt farm and opened the cages holding the mammals, letting them run into the wild.

… Many of the minks died once released because of the heat. The ones that were recovered alive were haphazardly thrown into pens, which disrupted their social groupings and drove the minks to kill one another. | More…

Mark Steyn: Diversity and Disintegration

A law-abiding unarmed woman makes the mistake of calling 911 and, when the responding officers arrive, they shoot her dead. The American media’s reflex instinct is that this is an out-of-control murderous police-brutality story. To be sure, it’s more helpful if the victim is black or Hispanic, but in this case she is female and an immigrant, albeit from Australia. And certainly Down Under the instinct of the press would also be to play this as an example of a country with a crazy gun culture and the bad things that happen when innocent foreigners make the mistake of going there, even to a peaceable, upscale neighborhood. (…)

But there’s a complicating factor. It’s so complicating that The Washington Post finds itself running a 1,200-word story on the death of Justine Damond without a word about the copper who shot her – nothing about his background, record, habits, behavior. Not even his name.

Because his name is Mohamed Noor. As Tucker Carlson pointed out on Fox News the other night, the reason you know the officer’s identity is significant is because the Post went to all that trouble not to mention it. | More…

NH Police Grapple with New Marijuana Decriminalization Rules

Police departments across the state are coming to grips with how to deal with people caught possessing marijuana after New Hampshire became the 22nd state to decriminalize the drug on Tuesday.

Police departments throughout the Granite State have until Sept. 18, less than two months, to prepare for the change in drug policy, with many law enforcement agencies expressing an uncertainty of the steps they will take to deal with the change.

The law has some ambiguity, leaving questions like how to deal with someone in possession of differing marijuana products, or how to enforce driving under the influence of the drug. | More…

$1 Million to Clear Pease Trees Please

PORTSMOUTH — The Governor’s Executive Council on Wednesday approved more than $1 million, most of it federal funds, to remove trees from 25 acres at Portsmouth International Airport and install lighting on taller trees that won’t be removed.

Airport manager Paul Breen said the work is a navigational requirement that mandates removal of airspace obstructions for pilots making landings during poor weather. He said $825,000 is designated for logging to remove selected trees that are not obstructions now but are expected to be in the near future. *| More…
