redneck74 Report post Posted December 14, 2006 Anti Group Gets Fined “The Center for Biological Diversity must pay Arizona rancher Jim Chilton $600,000 for defamation related to postings the environmental group put up on its Web site recently alleging that Chilton allowed animals on his property to overgraze, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled this week. CBD originally sued in Arizona 's Pima County Superior Court to prevent the 10-year renewal of Chilton's grazing permit and the group posted links to its filing and photographs alleging Chilton allowed animals to overgraze on his 21,500-acre Arivaca-area allotment, which was issued to him by the Forest Service. But Chilton argued that the postings were false and defamed him and his business. A jury found in his favor and awarded him $600,000.” (Source: AP/Arizona Daily Star) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAM Report post Posted December 14, 2006 Good for him! I always love it when the bunny huggers cut off there nose despite there face. Shows just how stupid they really are. I know hunters and ranchers don't always agree on everything, but I think one thing both sides do agree on is that the environmental wackos are bad for everyone!
