The HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) which happens to be the largest anti-hunting organization in the world is very close to receiving a $250,000 dollar grant from Pepsi.
Pepsi will give $250,000 to the top two vote getters in an online grant program it developed to provide funding to a variety of different projects. Currently, the HSUS is leading the race.
This program is called the ”Pepsi Refresh Program” and was started in January, 2010. Here’s the rules: “an online grant program which makes available millions of dollars to be granted to projects which are intended to improve communities through an online, democratic voting process…”
“Basically is states that up to 1,000 ideas can be submitted each month by individuals, companies and non-profit organizations. Thirty two of those ideas will be approved for funding based upon the number of votes received from registered online users. Of those thirty two; two will receive $250,000 and ten each will receive grants of $5 thousand, $25 thousand, or $50 thousand.”
“The Pepsi Refresh Program rules state that no proposal seeking funding can involve lobbying for the changing of laws.” The HSUS’s proposal that is leading in the current round of voting claims its goal is to “rescue animals who are suffering from extreme neglect.”
However the HSUS can do whatever they like with the grant money if they win, consequently putting more money in their pocket to further fight our hunting rights.
All sportsmen please take action and let Pepsi know that you’re displeased with them supporting the HSUS.
•Register at the Pepsi Refresh Program website, www.refresheverything.com and vote for a more worthy proposal.
•Contact Pepsi through their consumer phone number, 1-800-433-2652 or Click here to send an e-mail by picking “Question or comment about the Pepsi Refresh Project” from the drop down menu. Please ask Pepsi Co. not to support the HSUS. Explain that HSUS is the number one anti-hunting organization in the United States and has opposed sportsmen on many issues for years.
We at Hunters Against PETA are currently putting together a letter that we will send to Pepsi telling them the truth about the HSUS and our disapproval of them supporting the HSUS.
Other great groups such as the USSA and the Animal Agriculture Alliance have sent letters expressing their disapproval and we encourage all sportsmen to follow suit. – Hunters Against PETA
