Md. police kill Discovery gunman, 3 hostages safe
A lengthy posting which could be seen Wednesday on a website registered to Lee expressed anger against the
Discovery Channel and said it promoted overpopulation.
He said it and its affiliates should stop "encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants." Instead, he said, the network should air "programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility."
"NO MORE BABIES!
Population growth is a real crisis," he wrote.
He also railed against "programs promoting War" and said solutions should be found for global warming and automotive and factory pollution.
"I want
Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so," he wrote. "I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it."
Discovery Communications Inc. operates cable and satellite networks in the U.S., including The
Discovery Channel, TLC and
Animal Planet. Discovery shows include "Cash Cab" and "Man vs. Wild," and
TLC airs "American Chopper" and "
Kate Plus Eight."
Animal Planet also airs the controversial series "
Whale Wars," about attempts by environmentalists to disrupt the Japanese whaling industry.
After Lee's arrest, a magistrate ordered a doctor's evaluation, but court records do not immediately indicate the result. Lee was convicted by a jury and served two weeks in jail. He was also ordered to stay 500 feet away from Discovery headquarters.
