Defenders of Wildlife Attack Cabela`s

The Defenders Of Wildlife – being one of the biggest anti-hunting groups in America have set their sites on two of the biggest and best outdoor stores` – Cabela`s and Sportsman`s Warehouse.

The Defenders Of Wildlife posted this on their site action alert accusing these companies for sponsoring what they call “wolf killing competitions,” in Idaho.

The group has also attacked Cabela’s for the decision by the local paper in Sidney, Nebraska to not run an inflammatory ad against Cabela’s that Defenders had produced. It then went on to solicit funds to run the ad in other papers throughout the state.

Cabela`s did not sponsor any “wolf killing competition” and if they had we`d be thanking them. What they did though was give $150 worth of products as a donation to the Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife-Idaho organization. The Sporstmen for Fish and Wildlife group organized and conducted three local predator hunts in 2009. The hunts complied with all state and federal laws. Additionally, all available information indicates that no wolves were killed during the hunts.

The Defenders of Wildlife have been long time advocates for keeping the wolf on the endangered species list, which are now wiping out our elk herds in the Rockies.

We urge everyone who stops in a Cabela`s or Sportsman`s Warehouse to let them know of your support for their efforts and give them a pat on the back.

The HSUS Gives “Humane” Ratings To States!

For years now the HSUS has issued what they call “report cards” to Congress rating each state according to how much support they give to the HSUS and animal rights.

Now the HSUS is giving ratings according to the laws each state has on it`s books.

This February 8, the HSUS announced it was releasing its first “Humane State Ranking.” This is what the groups press release is intended to be “a comprehensive report rating all 50 states on a wide range of animal protection laws dealing with pets, animal cruelty and fighting, wildlife, animals in research, horses, and farm animals.”

No surprise that California came in at number one. You can`t even hunt on Sunday in CA…whoever heard of such a thing?

If your state is not high on their list be thankful.

Animal Rights Cacus formed in Calfornia State Legislation….More proof of how strong the animal rights groups are becoming!

Sportsmen in CA and across America must stand up and fight against these groups and politicians.

“Importance of COHA Reaches New Heightened Level

In a move that further validates California as the front line in the nationwide fight to protect the future of hunting, the California State Legislature has laid claim to the first ever Caucus formed solely to push an animal rights agenda. According to a press release issued by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the new “Animal Protection Caucus” – co-chaired by Senator Dean Florez (D-Shafter), Senator Tony Strickland (R-Thousand Oaks), Assembly Member Cameron Smyth (R-Santa Clarita), and Assembly Member Pedro Nava (D-Santa Barbara) – will serve to highlight important issues affecting animals and to educate legislators and their staff on the need for “sensible” animal protection legislation.

This bold move by certain members of the California Legislature and the animal rights community clearly demonstrates their focus on California and their increased priority of passing legislation in our state that directly challenges your freedom to hunt.

“Although it may be unfathomable, hunters and other conservationists have just been served serious notice that California will now face even greater challenges to our outdoor traditions,” stated California Outdoor Heritage Alliance President, Bill Gaines.

California’s outdoorsmen and women simply have no choice but to ensure their voice is loud and united in the halls of the State Capitol by supporting the California Outdoor Heritage Alliance (COHA) and COHA’s Political Action Committee (COHA PAC). Do your part – unite with COHA and help meet this challenge by joining COHA at Join COHA. Support COHA PAC and enter to win great prizes by purchasing tickets for the COHA PAC raffle at COHA PAC. COHA PAC funds are only used to help elect pro-hunting candidates for statewide public office”
