Give a Hoot- Don’t Be Eco-Terrorists
Other news articles are highlighting the upcoming movie, Hoot as a training manual for Eco-Terrorists. The basic theme of the movie appears to be, if you hate corporations and love animals, then be a vandal.”
I originally wrote about this movie here.

New Movie Called ‘Soft Core Eco-terrorism’ for Kids
By Marc Morano(CNSNews.com) – Three middle school children band together, sabotage a construction site, gag a land developer and take him hostage. But their criminal conduct, aimed at saving the habitat of burrowing owls from “greedy land developers” isn’t reality-based.
It’s the subject of a new movie that one entertainment reviewer labels “soft core eco-terrorism” for kids.
The movie, “Hoot,” opens Friday May 5. It features environmentally conscious teenage characters vandalizing heavy machinery by stealing parts off of them and flattening tires in order to hinder a development project.
The teens, who ultimately succeed in halting the project, spray paint a police car that is providing security, trespass, rip up surveyors’ stakes, place alligators in portable toilets, release poisonous Cottonmouth snakes at the construction site and evade the police. The teenagers also debate stealing the construction trailer and sinking it into a nearby canal to further delay the project.
The film’s trailer urges viewers to “break the rules” and features one of the lead characters saying “You gotta start thinking like an outlaw.”
The burrowing owl featured in Hoot is not included on the national endangered or threatened species list, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Instead, the owls are listed as “species of special concern” by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
As a reminder, its very stupid to stand in front of a moving bulldozer. Just ask Rachel Corrie’s fanatical friends and parents.
