A Republican US Senator has been caught on tape in an undercover investigation helping to kill hundreds of pigeons.

—>Sign the petition to Bring this Senator to Justice for Cruel Pigeon Shoot.

James Inhofe of Oklahoma, who’s running for a fourth term, participated in a fundraiser earlier this month where the main event was shooting pigeons. The “sport” entailed releasing hundreds of birds a few yards away so attendants, including the senator, could shoot them.

An undercover investigator from the animal rights organization Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK) was at the event, managing to sneak his way in and film the whole brutal act.



In the video, 11 participants and Inhofe are seen with guns in hand while the pigeons are released from their crates one by one. Once they flew, the bullets followed taking most of them down immediately. Others were injured and tossed back in the air for another round.

Republican James Inhofe, the US senior senator from Oklahoma, held a live pigeon shoot on Friday, September 5, 2014, at the Quartz Mountain Lodge in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma.

Anyone willing to pay could take part in this canned hunt and blast away at hand thrown, tame pigeons - many of them banded - with the Senator. This wasn't hunting, this was a slaughter. Many wounded birds escaped the killing field to die slow, lingering deaths.

The real kicker was Inhofe Campaign Manager Rusty Appleton, who claimed the birds were being given to homeless people. This is a lie, since the homeless shelter can only serve meat that is USDA certified.

Senator Inhofe's cruelty to animals is only supplanted by his campaign manager's false, insensitive and insulting remarks about the homeless.

SIGN OUR PETITION! https://www.change.org/p/sen-james-in...

Please politely call Senator Inhofe's Senate and Campaign office and ask why he committed such brutal animal cruelty:

1. Sharks watchful eyes caught many republicans slaughtering small animals 'for fun'.

[navarth]

2. abomination

Are these supposed to be humans? The behavior is disgusting. What brave men, murdering innocent creatures for fun. Real sportsmen. Fucking cowardly, worthless pieces of shit.

I would have extreme difficulty being polite if I called these bastards.

3. Inhofe. Why am I not...

...surprised. There is something particularly "chicken shit" about shooting birds for so-called sport, IMO.

[valerief]

4. I always said that's the difference between a Dem and Repub.

A Dem is the old man in the park feeding crumbs to the pigeons.
A Repub is the old man in his backyard shooting pigeons.

5. Wow...

That speaks volumes about the mindset of these cretins.

[blkmusclmachine]

6. Animal cruelty is a hallmark of a sociopathic mind.

[jtuck004]

7. Pigeons? What a creep. Too slow to shoot at a sporting bird. Happens when you sit in a chair

on taxpayer money and provide nothing in return. Your mind and reflexes leave you...

"...many of them banded..."

Pathetic coward.

[geardaddy]

8. They should be released

in a shark tank. See how they like it.

9. Well said! n/t

11. That would be a great pay per view.

12. ...

10. I have no words….

except to call him a cowardly, cruel, unfeeling piece of shit….in other words….a republican...

[geardaddy]

13. Signed the petition. n/t

14. Just before we invaded Iraq Cheney was out shooting white doves....

He probably thought it was funny as hell to piss off the Peacenicks.

[alfredo]

15. He likes killing more than he likes hunting.

[KansDem]

16. Why are they standing behind barricades?

Hay bales, I assume.

Does it add to the "thrill of the hunt?" Or are they afraid the pigeons will shoot back?

17. That guy is a piece of work. Stupid and Corrupt. Sometimes I don't know which is worse.
