Health Dept.: Homeless Can’t Eat Deer Meat

Hunters across Louisiana are outraged after state health officials ordered a rescue mission to destroy $8,000 worth of deer meat because venison is not allowed to be served in homeless shelters. FOLLOW TODD ON FACEBOOK FOR CULTURE WAR NEWS. CLICK HERE TO JOIN! The Dept. of Health and Hospitals ordered the staff at the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission to throw 1,600 pounds of donated venison in garbage bins – and then ordered then to douse the meat with Clorox – so other animals would not eat the meat.

“Deer meat is not permitted to be served in a shelter, restaurant or any other public eating establishment in Louisiana,” said a Health Dept. official in an email to Fox News. “While we applaud the good intentions of the hunters who donated this meat, we must protect the people who eat at the Rescue Mission, and we cannot allow a potentially serious health threat to endanger the public.”

That statement set off a firestorm among hunters and lawmakers who called it outrageous and insulting. “That’s a mild understatement,” said Richard Campbell, one of the founders of Hunters for the Hungry, a group that has been donating wild game to shelters since 1993. “Hunters are going nuts over it. It’s created an outrage across our state and even over into Mississippi.”

The controversy started when someone being fed at the rescue mission complained about being fed deer meat. Henry Martin, executive director of the mission, told Fox News they’ve been serving deer meat for years – from deer chili to deer spaghetti.

“This was really good meat,” he said. “It’s high in protein and low in cholesterol. It’s very healthy.” Martin said he was extremely bothered by the way state health inspectors handled the situation. “You would think we would have due process,” he said. “But they meant to destroy the meat – that’s for sure.” The mission’s chef asked if they could at least return the meat to the processing plant – but the state officials said no.

“They actually took it out to the dumpsters, split the packages open and poured Clorox on it,” Martin told Fox News. He said the rescue mission serves 200,000 meals a year – without a single dime of assistance from the state or federal governments. As a result of the confiscation, he said as many as 3,200 meals were lost. “It seems like this was a senseless act,” he said. “I don’t think hungry people who come to our mission appreciate the fact they could have been eating some really good venison and as it is now – no one can eat it.” The Health Dept. defended their actions and said they had to pour Clorox on the meat as an “extra precaution so that animals would not eat it from the dumpster and become sick or die.” “This is a process called ‘denaturing,’” they stated.

Campbell said the venison comes from deer management programs – where hunters have to kill a lot of deer. “We ask our hunters once they fill up their own freezers to give the extra to the needy,” he said. Once the deer is donated, a local processing plant prepares the meat for the shelters. And hunters in the Sportsman’s Paradise have always responded to the call – including State Rep. Jeff Thompson. “As a hunter and somebody who has personally donated deer to this program, I’m outraged and very concerned,” he told Fox News. “You hear about these stories anywhere and it’s a concern – but when it happens in your own backyard it’s insulting.”

Thompson said he is meeting with the heads of state agencies as well as state lawmakers to make sure the rules are changed. “We take pride in helping our neighbors and to see thousands of dollars worth of meat that would help the hungry go to waste is absolutely disturbing to me,” he said. Thompson said at the very least the meat should have been returned to those who donated it. “We want to make sure the generosity of hunters and processors are honored and the hungry are provided with the food they are very much in need of,” the lawmaker added.

MUSLIM ACCUSED OF BEHEADING 2 CHRISTIANS IN U.S.

MUSLIM ACCUSED OF BEHEADING 2 CHRISTIANS IN U.S.
Torture, persecution of faithful no longer reserved for Islamic nations

Authorities in New Jersey allege a Muslim man beheaded two Coptic Christians, burying their bodies and heads and hands in separate graves near Philadelphia, bringing the horror of the persecution of Christians in Islamic nations to the United States.

According to New York’s WABC-TV, the Muslim was identified as Yusuf Ibrahim, 28. He was taken into custody after the bodies were found.

The report said investigators alleged Ibrahim killed the victims then severed their heads and hands, and buried the remains in the back yard of a home in Buena Vista, N.J.

The report said the victims were from the Coptic Christian community in the area. One of the victims had come from Egypt not many years ago.

While the report said police did not indicate a motive, friends of the victims wondered if it was something to do with religion.

WABC reporter Jeff Pegues wrote: “To members of the close knit Coptic Orthodox church the pain is real.”

“It’s a shock, something like this doesn’t happen to people like that,” one resident told him.

The report said police described the suspect as “ruthless” and “calculating” and said he belongs behind bars.

Pamela Geller, who blogs about Islam at Atlas Shrugs, said it “appear have been a ritual killing, religious in nature.”

“The victims were Coptic Christians and the murderer was Muslim (and we are painfully aware of the status and treatment of Coptic Christians under Muslim rule in Egypt),” she wrote.

“The killing evokes this passage in the Quran: ‘When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers’ hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them!” – Quran 8:12.”

Samy Hohareb, a friend of the victims, said, “I leave it for the police and the investigation.” The New York Daily News reported Ibrahim was nabbed by detectives on Sunday after the bodies were found. Authorities said the suspect was found driving a white Mercedes Benz that belonged to one of the victims. Ibrahim was being held at the Atlantic County jail on charges of murder and desecration of human remains. WND reported in September a jihadi writer who has praised the murderer of a Dutch filmmaker suggested beheading as a way of curbing criticism of Islam. The report came from the WND EXCLUSIVE

Torture, persecution of faithful no longer reserved for Islamic nations

Muhib Ru’yat al-Rahman, a senior writer of a leading jihadi forum called Shumoukh al-Islam, suggested that Muslims living in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and the U.S. kill Westerners who criticize Islam and display their decapitated heads along roads, according to the Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor, a unit of the Middle East Media Research Center.

“While expressing respect for those calling to boycott European and American products over the release of the film ‘Innocence of Muslims,’ which negatively depicts Muhammad, Muhib insists that the best way to deter people from insulting Muhammad and his wives is to implement his proposal,” the report said.

The writer praised Dutch-Moroccan Muslim Muhammad Bouyeri, who killed Dutch film-maker Theo Van Gogh in 2004 over the production of “Submission,” a film criticizing Islam’s treatment of women. Dozens of forum members praised the post, expressing their agreement with the writer’s suggestions, the report said.

Geller summarized the report: “More tolerance and respect from savages demanding tolerance, respect and submission.”

She has waged a battle in New York, Washington and other cities to post a pro-Israel ad after numerous pro-Palestinian ads already have appeared.

WND also previously confirmed a Sky News Arabia report of the crucifixion of dissidents in Egypt.

FOREIGNERS ARRESTED FOR SPREADING CHRISTIANITY IN LIBYA 'We are a 100% Muslim country and this kind of action affects our national security

(Reuters) Four foreigners have been arrested in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on suspicion of being Christian missionaries and printing books about Christianity, a security official said on Saturday.

“They were arrested on Tuesday at a publishing house where they were printing thousands of books that called for conversion to Christianity,” security official Hussein Bin Hmeid said.

“Proselytizing is forbidden in Libya. We are a 100 percent Muslim country and this kind of action affects our national security.”

Bloomberg Pushes for Plastic-Foam Ban in ‘State of the City’

Ah it appears, billionaire Bloomberg is at it again. I'm starting to think he is "ban" crazy. He wants to control all facets of New Yorkers. What is it this time?

Targeting Foam

“One product that is virtually impossible to recycle and never bio-degrades” is plastic foam, said Bloomberg. “Something that we know is environmentally destructive and that may be hazardous to our health, that is costing taxpayers money and that we can easily do without, and is something that should go the way of lead paint.”

The mayor referred to plastic foam by the brand name Styrofoam. Nancy Lamb, a spokeswoman for Styrofoam maker Dow Chemical Co., said the company’s product is used in insulation, though not in cups, trays and food containers.

Plastic foam makes up an estimated 20,000 tons of the city’s annual waste, according to the mayor’s office. A ban on the substance, which also needs clearance from the City Council, would follow similar action by lawmakers in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.

'Dead Child' Tweet Catches Up With U.N. Staffer

'DEAD CHILD' TWEET CATCHES UP WITH U.N. STAFFER
Accused of intentionally posting false anti-Israel report

Reuters 2006 photo used to smear Israel
NEW YORK – The United Nations has decided to dismiss a controversial official who was accused of intentionally posting a false report on Twitter that accused Israel of killing children, WND has learned.

Sources report Kulhood Badaawi, a public affairs officer in the Jerusalem office of the coordinator of humanitarian affairs, had been the target of a year-long internal investigation.

The investigation, according to the source, said Badawi was found to have intentionally posted a false report on Twitter picturing a dead Palestinian girl. The posting portrayed the girl has having been killed during the 2012 Israel shelling of Gaza.

However, the photo was from a Reuters archive, and was traced to a 2006 clash between Palestinian gangs, and the Israeli military had no involvement.

Israeli U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor publicly had called for Badawi’s dismissal.

Prosor had written to U.N.’s humanitarian affairs coordinator Valerie Amos about the issue, after Badawi was found to be using Twitter to incite local disturbances.

Amos was the highest ranking U.K. national and African female in the U.N. system. She also was the first African woman in a British Cabinet when she was appointed by Tony Blair.

In an incident March 10, 2012, Badawi tweeted what was alleged to be a photo of a Palestinian girl killed in Gaza by the Israel Defense Forces.

The photo was accompanied by the comment: “Palestine is bleeding. Another child killed by Israel. Another father carrying a child into a grave in Gaza.”

The Israeli foreign ministry hotly denied the allegation and claimed the photo posted was from an archived Reuters report in 2006.

Reuters confirmed the Israeli account and also explained that the dead girl was apparently killed by a local gang and not the Israeli military.

In response, OCHA chief Amos admitted that the U.N. did not condone such actions but hastened to add that her office did not consider Twitter posts to be “official.”

Israel’s U.N. mission rejected the U.N. explanation and revealed the same staffer had been involved in several other incidents dating back to 2008.

In one incident, video released by Israel showed Badawi in a Jerusalem demonstration in which she emphatically labeled Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Barak a “child murderer.”

Israel’s Prosor had insisted that the U.N. “take action to immediately terminate” Badawi due to a history of incidents that he claimed violated U.N. ethics.

Amos, through U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky, said at the time her office would launch an investigation to address the Israeli demands.

Why Amos would be allowed to investigate her own staff, rather than allow the U.N. internal affairs unit, the Office of Internal Oversight Services, to conduct the inquiry was never explained.

As WND reported, Israeli officials say the falsely captioned photo has gone viral and is posing a serious security threat to civilians in the region because it could incite violence. Israeli sources confirmed they believe the goal of the posting was to create a dangerous situation for their citizens.

Anti-Israel sentiment at the U.N., however, is far from startling.

The UN Watch website notes an “alien observing the United Nations’ debates, reading its resolutions, and walking its halls could well conclude that a principal purpose of the world body is to censure a tiny country called Israel.”

“The U.N.’s discrimination against Israel is not a minor infraction, nor a parochial nuisance of interest solely to those concerned with equal rights of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Instead, the world body’s obsession with censuring Israel at every turn directly affects all citizens of the world, for it constitutes (a) a severe violation of the equality principles guaranteed by the U.N. Charter and underlying the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and (b) a significant obstacle to the U.N.’s ability to carry out its property mandate.”

The website pointed out that during one year, when Sudan was running a campaign of genocide in Darfur, there was not a single resolution on the subject. At the same time, there were 22 anti-Israel resolutions condemning the leading democracy in the Middle East.

Another site, Honest Reporting, said it had delivered 15,000 signatures on a petition to the U.N. calling for “appropriate action” against “false photo tweeter Khulood Badawi.”

The site has documented numerous incidents of false information being propagated about Israel.

In a high-profile case reported by WND, a widely exploited Palestinian claim that Israeli soldiers killed a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, Mohammed al-Dura, was exposed as a fraud.

AL SHARPTON DROPS 'GOD' FROM PLEDGE

(DAILY CALLER) MSNBC might be the only place where God can’t get a shout-out from a Baptist minister.

In a recently released commercial for the network, part of its “Lean Forward” series, MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” host and Baptist minister Rev. Al Sharpton is featured, expressing the need to renew the fight against discrimination. And at the end of his plea, he cites the Pledge of Allegiance, but omits the phrase “under God” from it.

“We must have a renewed fight for many of the things we fought for because voting rights, and women’s rights, and the rights of people against discrimination, whether they’re African-American, Latino, lesbian and gay must be protected, until we have a nation that is really living up to the creed of one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” Sharpton said. “Not all of one kind, but all.”
