New Zealander fined over red hawk hoax

A New Zealand man who set bird-watchers a-twitter by faking a new species of red hawk was fined Tuesday and ordered to pay costs to the animal welfare group which uncovered his hoax.

Ornithologists believed a previously undiscovered species of hawk had emerged when red-winged birds of prey were spotted around the North Island town of Dannevirk in 2009, Fairfax Media reported.

In fact, the birds where common harrier hawks which farmer Grant Michael Teahan had trapped, spray-painted red, then released as a prank, the Dennevirk District Court was told.

The ruse was uncovered when one of the mysterious hawks was hit by a car, revealing its colourful plumage came from an aerosol can, rather than a rare genetic mutation.

The New Zealand Society for the Protection of Animals (SPCA) launched a lengthy investigation which eventually resulted in a raid on Teahan's property, where computer files relating to the hoax were found.

Judge Geoff Rea said the 39-year-old revelled in the attention his prank received as experts debated whether a new type of hawk had been found.

"You were trapping hawks, spray-painting them and looking forward to the publicity that generated locally," he said.

"You paid close attention to the news media coverage of it. I have no doubt you were the person -- either singularly, or with others -- responsible for what has occurred here."

Rea fined Teahan NZ$ 5,000 ($ 4,100) and ordered him to pay costs of up to NZ$ 15,000 to the SPCA after finding him guilty of two counts of ill-treating animals.

The Pentagon, which is formed as the center of a pentagram, which Jewish Eliphas Levi identified as a symbol of evil, had its groundbreaking ceremony on 9/11-1941.

In september 2000 Jewish Paul Wolfowitz wrote in the PNAC-document that we needed a catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a New Pearl Harbor. In february 2002 he said that 9-11 was an opportunity - like it was a good event. Any man who says we need a catastrophe has got his head screwed on upside down. In March 2005 he became the president of The World Bank! home.gethome.no Out of all stories it is illegal not to believe the Holocaust story in some countries. A strong indication that the story is a lie. Considering that Jewish Larry Silverstein was the target and the perpetrator on 9-11 and that the whole world was tricked by the Jewish media into thinking that muslims had anything to do with it, the shrunken heads, lampshade and soap story becomes ridiculous. Joseph Goebbels: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is ...
