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.
