Dead Baby, Dead Fish!
Some damn sad items today. In Oregon, Korena Elaine Roberts allegedly hit a pregnant Heather Snively over the head then cut into the woman’s womb and took her baby. Snively died either from blunt force trauma or the cut to the abdomen. The baby is also dead. We don’t know how the baby died, but EMS was sent to revive a new born after a call to 911 by Roberts.
Prosecutors consider this terrible crime to be one murder, because the baby technically is not alive or an individual since it was not separated from the mother. A Republican legislator is trying to introduce a bill to make this a two person murder, the mother and the baby, but is running afoul of those who think passage would ban abortions.
In Seattle, some are upset that dead fresh fish are being thrown about for entertainment at the tourist attraction Pike Place Fish Market. They’ve been invited to entertain at the American Veterinary Medical Association convention.
Chief executive Ron DeHaven said the Schaumburg, Ill.-based organization had thought inviting one of Seattle’s top tourist attractions — the fish-throwers at the Pike Place Fish Market — to the event would be a great “team-building experience.”
However People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) raised concerns about the ethics of using dead fish as props at a veterinary event. Apparently PETA thinks throwing the fish is disrespectful and wants rubber fish substituted.
Who on earth has time to worry about dead fish, when we need a way to punish those who kill babies.
