Jason Miller’s latest stunt leaves him covered in blood

With the rain starting to drench his shirt and bead in his hair, Jason Miller looked to his small gathering of animal rights followers last night.

“Are you guys cold?” he asked, shivering slightly from the nighttime chill or adrenaline of possible arrest.

“No, I’m hot,” a woman in a pink ski outfit spit angrily, casting her eyes at the half-dozen police officers flanking the activists.

“Yeah, well, there’s a lot to be hot about,” Miller said.

Earlier in the day, Randy Knight, community relations manager for the Johnson County Park and Recreation Department, released details about the fate of the 300 deer that will be culled by sharpshooters over the next month to reduce the overpopulation in Shawnee Mission Park. The meat will be donated to Harvesters to feed low-income residents, while the hides will go to the Veterans Leather Program, which uses such material for fingerless gloves needed by wheelchair-bound soldiers.

But Miller was more interested in the blood.

In his latest act of defiance against the Johnson County deer “murderers,” the militant vegan doused himself in animal gore.
