Reminds me of when Cleveland Amory&#8217;s anti-hunting group blocked a deer hunt a while back, causing deer herds to freeze and starve in a particularly harsh winter.<\/p>\n<p>Reports abound of other protests in which anti-oil activists are gluing their hands to roads, art exhibit walls, floors, etc. to protest man&#8217;s usage of petroleum products. We wrote a while back of VW&#8217;s solution: they calmly wished the Friday protesters &#8220;guten abend&#8221;, turned off the lights and heat, and left them glued in the building over the weekend.\u00a0 One would think a really strong quick pull would pull the protesters loose. Might be a little tough on their palms, but hey &#8211; they&#8217;re the ones ignoring that Super-Glue is a petroleum product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Lion&#8217;s Farm in Wert County, northwest Ohio, vandals broke into the facility and released as &hellip; <a title=\"Run Free, little weasel!\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=133662\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Run Free, little weasel!<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,177,87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-133662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-dumbass-bullshit","category-general-whackos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=133662"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133662\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":133665,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133662\/revisions\/133665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=133662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=133662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=133662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
