Guns.com reported first. An animal rights group is condemning Broken Bow High School for considering senior portrait submissions that allows sports shooting motifs and wants a copy of the yearbook for an anti-hunting time capsule. The group, well known for its antics against hunters, penned a letter to Broken Bow Public Schools Superintendent Mark Sievering last week decrying the recent policy decision to allow seniors to use props that represent their hobbies or interests, to include firearms and hunting, in their portraits for the yearbook. While there had previously been a practice to not consider these, the school board voted 6-0 earlier this month to allow it.
While Broken Bow is not the only district to allow such submissions, recent media coverage brought the attention of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who chastised Sievering and asked the administrator how to obtain a copy of the coming yearbook for a time capsule that would include items such as a set of shackles used to chain elephants and a fur collar.
“When PETA’s time capsule is opened, people will be disturbed by the idea that a school would send kids the message that it’s OK to be proud of killing other living beings for fun,” said PETA president Ingrid Newkirk in an email to Guns.com. “Future generations will be shocked to learn that hunting was legal in this time—in the same way that people are appalled that bear-baiting and human slavery were once acceptable since they are now universally recognized as reprehensible.”
