Primedia a friend of Sportsman/woman??
« on: February 24, 2004, 02:49:53 PM »
I am by profession a photographer (occasional photojouralist) and I read most of the trade and Consumer magazines pertaining the craft. One of the mags I read is Petersen's Photographic. Photographic is a sister (or cousin) to Petersen's Hunting, Motor Cyclist, Infisherman, Florida Sportsman, etc. Much to my surprise while looking through March 04's issue of Photographic (page 102) there was a full page advert for Friends of Animals!!!!  :eek: . For those who do not know this organization is in bed with PETA (joined at the tail). The ad was a full page four color (read expensive) one with a cute juvenile chimpanze (they do not get so cute when they get to adulthood) What course of action we as Sports/Outdoors people take. The Parent Company is Primedia www.primedia.com/ .

The irony of using the chimp is all though they are cute and most people think they are fruit eaters (bananas etc), the chimpanze are very ruthless PACK Hunters. They hunt, kill and eat small animals encluding monkies!!! Bet this won't be shown on the Disney nor Animal Planet shows.
