Nine Inch Nails performing live on Austin City Limits, November 4th, 2013. The full performance re-airs tomorrow, October 18th, at 9pm EST/8pm CT on PBS.
Several video clips from the performance can be found here.
Anyone who supports Bob Wendt and calls themselves an ethical vulture has some wild ethics. Yes, ethics are subjective, but Bob Wendt borders on animal abuse. He traps wild coyotes, keeps them caged and forces them to breed with dogs to produce his piebalds and other unique coyotes. He sells coyotes live to others who wish to do the same. Yes he has some gorgeous animals, but he’s worse than your average fur farm, and if you support him, at least acknowledge that he’s not perfect.
Some images of coyotes Wendt has sold:
Now that you’ve seen his setup for photos, you can hopefully recognize any others. Note the blood on the red coydog’s paw. I understand that accidents happen, but this is NOT a wild caught animal that’s had a rough life out there.
I’m not saying you can’t buy from him if you want piebalds and coydogs and the rare things he offers. I understand that others have differing ethics. But I’ve seen someone buy some of his pelts and say they’re wild-caught, which is absolutely misinformation. Please don’t misrepresent sources, ESPECIALLY if you’re selling pelts!!
Please don’t attack anyone who supports him. I just wanted to spread this information, since Bob only sends his images by email, and people post these live pictures and keep the source secret.
PS: I’m not Shannon/Rory Loughner. I just nabbed the URL.
