Just another reason why you don't mess with Carrie Underwood!!!

A couple of weeks ago we reported how Carrie was pissed about an ag gag bill getting passed by Tennessee lawmakers.

The ag gag bill would've made it basically impossible for animals rights activists to secretly document abuse.

Carrie was so mad back then she said she would show up at Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's house if it was passed!

Well, Bill made sure that didn't happen.

His office has released this statement:

A man from Western Pennsylvania is in legal trouble for shooting a buck from a busy Walmart parking lot.

That sounds super dangerous!

Arcangelo "Angelo" Bianco Jr., 40, is going to trial for reckless endangerment and state game charges.

Wildlife conservation officers said that last November, Bianco shot several rounds at a buck in a Walmart parking lot so close to employees that deer blood was splattered on trailers that were being unloaded!!

That's insane! Why was he shooting so near people?? Did he have something personal against the deer?

He continued shooting at the fleeing deer until it died and he later retrieved it from the side of a road nearby.

Pretty sure this guy is gonna lose his gun license and have to pay some serious fines at a minimum!

Check out the video (above) to learn a little more about this crazy hunter guy!

Carrie Underwood is a champion for those who cannot fight for themselves: the animals!

We previously mentioned that a bill had been passed by the Tennessee legislature that would force whistleblowers to release undercover video of animal abuse to the police within 48 hours of capturing it.

The problem is that animal rights activists say that 48 hours isn't enough time to show an ongoing pattern of abuse.

Because the bill was passed, it's now up to Governor Bill Haslam to sign it into law or veto it.

We previously mentioned that there has been a lot going on in the world of politics regarding ag gag bills.

These are laws that would make it illegal to undercover document animal abuse and not turn it over to police within 48 hours.

The problem with the law is that 48 hours doesn't give an undercover whistleblower enough time to gather sufficient evidence to show a pattern of constant abuse.

Well Tennessee lawmakers have recently passed a similar bill and Carrie Underwood is very disappointed!

A former gymnast from the University of Illinois at Chicago was convicted of animal cruelty for pouring boiling water on his dog!

That's horrible!!

Kyle Voissem was just found guilty of animal cruelty and ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

He was apparently boiling water for mac and cheese when his dog peed on the floor of his apartment.

Tabu, a Bollywood actress who starred in Life of Pi is being charged along with four other actors for the killing of a protected animal.

The poaching case is a 14-year-old and is finally going to trial next month for the shooting of a blackbuck, a protected antelope.

Tabu and the four other actors were shooting a film in 1998 near Jodhpur when the shooting took place.

What's crazy is if they're convicted, they could face up to

Every year on February 2nd, Punxsutawney Phil comes out of his burrow at Gobbler's Knob and predicts whether spring is just around the corner, or if we're in for 6 more weeks of winter.

This year, Phil got it wrong, as he so often does.

On the first day of spring on Wednesday, the Northeast was blasted with snow and chilly weather.

Statistically, Phil is actually wrong more often than he should be if he were just guessing.

Maybe it's time for a new profession. Especially now that things are getting serious.
