BuzzFlash's Harold Merrell visits Sen. Barack Obama's barber shop, home of the "Obama Cut." If you can judge a man by his barber shop, Obama's a regular guy, talking sports and still using the same barber after 13 years. So open the door and learn about the best cut you'll get for $20, as we visit Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood.
On September 14, 2007, Wisconsin activst Amy Burns sent out a circular urging her readers to go to the Baltimore Sun to join in what is destined to be one of its hottest forums ever, a war of minds over the "sport" of hunting, with emphasis on bow-hunting. While her readers began pondering, comments from the pro-hunting side came in hard and fast. "America's most-hated Anti" Anthony Marr jumped in head first, and so did leading anti-huntresses Tierra and Mamasita. Amazingly, the battle is still raging as we speak, more than two years later in November 23, 2009! The total number of comments so far has exceeded 93,000, and growing. This is a phenomenon, and destined to be a classic, not to be missed if you care about animals at all.
Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure...
Halloween aside, we do have a barbarian at the gate, a demon lurking in the ground, frozen there for eons, now being thawed and released into the living world, where it will roast life alive. If you want to really scare yourself silly, watch this 50 minute video in one go. Turn off the light, and the phone..

When I was in Africa a couple of decades ago, I camped for a stretch in the territory of a lion pride comprising 3 males, 10 females and 22 cubs.
The 3 pride-males, named Agamemnon, Achilles and Hector (AAH), were about 6 years of age and very much in their prime. Their 22 cubs were thriving under their protection - protection against predators,
and the coalition of four 4-year-old prideless bachelors, who had been loitering in the neighborhood.
Due to the superior fighting prowess of AAH, they had been kicking the butts of the Gang of Four (GOF), so far. If the GOF drove out or killed AAH, they would kill all their cubs so that the lionesses would have cubs bearing their genes. AAH would be able to repel GOF for another couple of years, which was a fairly stable long term scenario in lion terms. What was unforeseen was that a trophy hunter killed Achilles.
Now with only Agamemnon and Hector holding the fort, they were no match for the GOF. Valiantly, AH tried to defend their offspring, but it was a matter of fighting to the last cub before they both were killed. The 10 lionesses became the spoils of war. And so, a new leonine dynasty was born. But through it all, 25 lives were lost, all due to one single bullet fired by one egomaniacal trophy hunter. Shame on Safari Club International! And shame on you Mr. President, for support hunting.
Dolphin brains are larger than ours (1600 CC vs1450 CC). Who are we to say what they can or cannot think? Anthony Marr's latest creation: [Conversation with a Dolphin], was the jewel of last Friday's Animal Voices talkshow.

Which of the following 3 alternatives would you wish for these fawns?
If you prefer the 3rd alternative, please join the Anti-Hunting-Alliance (AHA) currently being forged by Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE - www.HOPE-CARE.org), which initially will seek to accomplish the following:
1. Support local campaigns against the culling and bow-hunting of deer in urban, suburban and park environments.
2. Integrate the local deer-battles into a national Deer War.
3. Launch massive internet and media campaigns on local and national levels.
4. Launch federal-level class-action legal challenges against the state-level Hunter Harassment laws for violating the freedom of speech and property rights of non-hunters and anti-hunters as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution (listen to the Jan Haagensen interview by Anthony Marr on Animal Voices in www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr).
There will be a higher aim with the success of some or all of the above objectives: To terminate Recreational Hunting and Trophy Hunting, period.
Please contact Anthony Marr via MS messaging or email (Anthony-Marr@HOPE-CARE.org) and let's roll!
Autumn has always been loved. But lately, sadly, I've heard cries of "They've made me hate the fall!", due to the annual bloodbath of deer. To sooth your frazzled nerves, let me share with you [Nocturnal Meditation: a gift of peace] - music by Chopin (Nocturne in E-flat) and Massenet (Meditation, performed by Anne Sophie Mutter); photography by Anthony Marr. If you have already seen/heard it, be enchanted all over again, and pass it on.
Descending from the sublime to the ridiculous, a hunter addressed me as "Dear Rush Limbaugh of Animal Rights". Haha! No thanks. But if Limbaugh can do it on his medieval mindset, so can I on my futuristic one. This coming Friday, 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT, on Animal Voices, I will just bare my soul, open my heart, and speak my mind. And you are invited to do likewise. Just call 1- 604- 684- 7561, and speak your mind.

Did you know that the 1940's classic film, "Reefer Madness" was based on a murder story from right here in Ybor City? Other known celebrity residents, a Bay area "God Father" was buried there. A long standing heritage of new immigrants starting over in America and a peaceful place to rest our ancestral souls. This is just one of the many interesting things you will learn as narrator Sammy Campisi takes us on a tour of The Historical Italian Club Cemetery in Ybor City. Another MC FILM produced documentary.

Kristal Parks (www.PachydermPower.org) will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this coming Friday, Sept. 11. To say that Kristal loves elephants is an understatement. To say that she is in love with them is to trivialize the profound. Her fate and the elephants' seem inextricably intertwined. She lives and breathes for the elephants. The following video will give you a glimpse of Kristal Parks..

Anthony Marr arrested in Czech Republic while on bike tour!
Just kidding!!! That's not me! This is me, safe and sound in Vancouver. I always wear protective gear when I ride, and so do my passengers. :D
Anyway, now that I've caught your attention, I just want you to know that this coming Friday's Animal Voices talkshow will feature I, me and myself. I've decided to do an hour program on my new article "What the USA must change to become a great nation" ( see www.HomoSapiensSaveYourEarth.blogspot.com). Someone out there has undertaken to sent it on to President Obama with the following recommendation:
"President Obama and every member of Congress should read this major masterpiece twice so that they can clearly understand and fully realize what *MUST CHANGE* before the USA will ever become a great nation. This publication is a monumental achievement that is compelling, riveting, gut wrenching, extremely powerful, and really shocking. All you have to do is read it!!"
