| The humane society sent me a letter sat asking me to help stop the seal hunt in canada , in this letter there was a self addressed post paid return envelope, they have to pay a special postage rate to get these letters back, ( I know this because my wife is a post master ) so I took their letter and the lables they sent me and cut them up in small pieces , put them in their envelope and mailed them back to them at their cost .. my request to you is that if you get a letter from ANY anti hunting organization you do the same, it cost them money to get them and the more it cost them the less they have to spend on anti hunting programs | |

| | Excellent ! I also love doing it with the credit card folks or any other solicitors that are crazy enough to send a postage paid return envelop. I sometime put all other junk mail in those so they get more back than they planned on !!!! | | | |

| FYI The Humane Society is not an anti-hunting organization.
It does not advocate unsportsmanlike hunts. Such as canned hunts.
And it does not support the clubbing of baby seals. I think they might be fighting something with the hunting hertiage of the native Eskimos here, I am not sure who is taking place in these hunts, and I'm not sure they have any business policing it. But, this is not there main focus.
They are the leading responders to wildlife disasters. I.E. Oil spills.
They are against dogfighting and cockfighting.
They fund wildlife rehabilitation centers.
They have mobile veterinary clinics to treat abused farm animals.
There mission statement is to prevent cruelty to animals. They are not anti-hunting. | | | |

| in my letter it did mention the clubbing, but thruout the letter it stated ( stop the hunting of seals in canada )
and you didn't read the post it said ( ANY anti hunting groups ) not just the humane society!!
any time someone ask's me to help them stop a hunt that makes me think they are anti hunting regardless of who it is | |

| | Hunters help to control population otherwise they would become to numerous to live in healthy numbers.Hunters also put millions of dollars into the efforts for habitat conservation,rebuilding habitat and other programs.And they don't realize,that 99.99% of hunters would never be cruel to animals,we simply have more respect for animals. | |

| Here is what we as sportsmen do!
Wildlife Restoration Program
Did you know that your hunting and target-shooting purchases have supported wildlife conservation for over half a century?
At the turn of the century, America seemed destined to lose much of its wildlife. The destruction of habitat, industrialization, and the overexploitation of certain animals caused a significant decline in many species. In response to this threat, hunters, the sport hunting industry, and other conservationists supported legislation to form the Wildlife Restoration Program in 1937, often referred to as the Pittman-Robertson Act. Today, we can thank you - America's hunters, target shooters, and archery enthusiasts for restoring much of our well-loved wildlife to healthy numbers.
* In 1937, Congress established the Wildlife Restoration Program with money received from taxes on the sale of sporting guns and ammunition. In the 1970s, the tax receipts from the sale of handguns and archery equipment were added to the Program fund. As a result, OVER 4 BILLION DOLLARS have been generated for wildlife conservation.
* More than 45 MILLION ACRES of land are maintained for wildlife across the country thanks to the Wildlife Restoration Program.
* 750,000 Americans are trained every year in safe firearm practices, archery, and responsible behavior with funding from the Program.
* Hundreds of public shooting ranges have been built with Program dollars.
* Your contribution enables essential research to be conducted by more than 25,000 professional wildlife biologists.
Here's how it works:
You pay a 10 to 11% tax whenever you purchase a sporting firearm, ammunition, handgun, or archery equipment. The money is placed in the Wildlife Restoration Fund, and every year is parceled out to the states to pay for up to 75% of the costs for wildlife restoration, habitat acquisition, hunter education, research, and shooting range development. State hunting license fees contribute to the remaining 25% of the costs.
And you're still giving. | |
