96 Rock promotes Animal Cruelty, help Stop this inhumane broadcast.

Richard Cranium · 03-10-2002, 03:48 AM

My fav Radio station in Atlanta has some DJ's that think they're being cute by talking trash.

IMHO it's ok to bash this and that, but when it comes to advocating animal cruelty, I have to stop and SHOUT ..

The DA's at 96 Rock are re-playing a broadcast where one of the DJ's was called by his Grandmother to put her pet dog to sleep, and she paid him to either take it to the Vet or Animal Shelter.

Instead, he took it down one of the local interstate highways and threw the still living animal out the window of a moving vehicle.

They laugh and crow about how funny it was and how it is excusable because they were "young"

They also will vocally trample any group who attempts to help animals, including calling the folks at PETA idiots or morons or other insulting phrases.

The persons who are involved in this *#@&* are

1. Larry Wachs
2. Eric Von Hessler
3. Steve Rickman aka "Southside Steve"

In recent months(Since this broadcast has become repeated several times) I have seen several instances of people throwing Kittens from the windows of vehicles on local highways.
How do I know they were simply not just run over ?
I see one kitten in the middle of the highway, a couple of hundred yards another the same size in the center of the painted line.. Then another all the same size, all directly in the center of the highway, often times a large distance from housing areas.

So some locals have taken up this habit.. I do wish I would catch them in the act...

If you have the inclination, please e-mail these maggots' management, if we can find a addy that is.

Working these 12-14 hour night shifts has me delerious.

Sorry to waste bandwith on something so depressing and on an item which obviously no one or rather hardly anyone is concerned about.

I for one am with you all the way Richard, I do care about animal welfare.
Cruelty in any form especially to children and animals gets to me.
I have looked at their site, but cant find their interests in the UK, but I will keep looking.

In no way is a post with a moral theme a waste of bandwidth.

Hey, I care about it. People that would do things like that are the lowest form of scum. I'll be getting in touch with them.

Doc - Clear Channel owns 98 Rock out of Tampa that carries the Bubba the Lovesponge Show (out of Jacksonville). Bubba had his cronies maim a pig and then slaughter it while they were on the radio last year. They arrested them and it has been big news - I'm not sure if it has gone to trial yet. I like the show but don't EVER condone abuse to animals. IMO, I would much rather see a human suffer than an animal. 'Course, I spent half my life on a farm.

If they were in New York State, they could be charged with a felony for animal abuse. You're right - that is not a laughing matter. They ought to take the DJ's and drag them behind a pickup over a few miles of Texas back road and see how they feel.

Doc, there must be some kind of laws there, isn't there an SPCA?
I think if you could get some recordings of the show, and get the tapes to some Copngress people or Senators.. How about the local news stations?

The FBI's Behavioral Science Unit needs to open a file on these thoughtless,sociopathic morons who clutter up the Nation's airwaves.Talent and thoughtfulness does'nt get radio jobs anymore-just showing a ratings revenue-hungry station manager how much outrageous crap you can get away with seem to do the trick.
