*edit: Hoax alert! After this post went up the daughter of the property owner mentioned in this story joined Plime to give us a very different view. It appears the original journalist went far beyond the truth in his search for publicity and may have endangered Kevin Stuart, who claims that there never was an auction for the life of the animal.

“I really am hopeful that eBay can see that once this is up, that it is not a glorification of violence,” said auction organizer Dave Leach, an abortion opponent from Iowa. “If the auction stays up, it will only be because eBay has been shamed into recognizing the nonviolent nature of the items.”
Items organizers said were being donated for the auction include an Army of God manual that describes dozens of ways to shut down abortion clinics; and a prison cookbook compiled by Shelley Shannon, who is serving time for clinic arsons and bombings.
