Is Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg Becoming A Hunter?

According to an article on the CNN website Mark Zuckerberg, the 27-year-old founder of Facebook, has made a vow to only eat meat of animals that he himself has killed.

Each year, so the article, Zuckerberg comes up with a personal challenge for himself. Last year he decided to learn Chinese, this year he's going to be his own meat processor. And his reasoning is actually pretty logical. He said, “I started thinking about this last year when I had a pig roast at my house. A bunch of people told me that even though they loved eating pork, they really didn't want to think about the fact that the pig used to be alive. That just seemed irresponsible to me. I don't have an issue with anything people choose to eat, but I do think they should take responsibility and be thankful for what they eat rather than trying to ignore where it came from.

Good News For Indiana Gun Owners - Bill Prevents Local Governments From Restricting Gun Rights

Indiana Senate Bill 292, introduced by Senator Jim Tomes (R – Blairsville), and signed into law by Governor Mitch Daniels, prohibits local municipalities from regulating firearms, ammunition, and firearms accessories.
Specifically, the bill prohibits municipalities from enacting local laws that are more restrictive than state laws. It covers almost every aspect of gun ownership including the possession, carrying, transportation, registration, transfer, and storage of firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories.
Senate Bill 292 also voids any current local ordinances that are more stringent than state law.

“Senate Bill 292 ensures that sportsmen and other gun owners don’t have to worry about differing gun laws when they travel between different cities or counties within the state,” said Evan Heusinkveld, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance director of state services. “Sportsmen and other gun owners owe a debt of gratitude to the Indiana legislature and Governor Daniels for carrying this effort into law.”
