American Family Aassociation Calls for Sea World Management to be Stoned to Death

When I heard the tragic news of the death of Sea World trainer, Dawn Brancheau, the last people I expected to comment were the crazies at the American Family Association.

Normally, (and I use that word cautiously with these folk) they are the first to respond when LGBT rights are in question or someone decides to give control of a woman's body over to her. Ah, but never doubt their ability to surprise!

A blogger for the AFA has chalked up the whale killing to a lack of following scripture. Damn these people are starting to sound like Muslim Fundamentalists more and more every day!

Here is the quote:

Chalk another death up to animal rights insanity and to the ongoing failure of the West to take counsel on practical matters from the Scripture. [...] Says the ancient civil code of Israel, “When an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten, but the owner shall not be liable.” (Exodus 21:28) So, your animal kills somebody, your moral responsibility is to put that animal to death. You have no moral culpability in the death, because you didn’t know the animal was going to go postal on somebody. But, the Scripture soberly warns, if one of your animals kills a second time because you didn’t kill it after it claimed its first human victim, this time you die right along with your animal. To use the example from Exodus, if your ox kills a second time, “the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.” (Exodus 21:29)

Gotta love that Old Testament slash and burn religion! Watch your back Sea World folks, better wear hard hats to protect yourself from those stones!
