National
The most outrageous anti-hunting group in the United States is promoting
a working relationship with the nation's leading sportsmen's advocacy
group when, in fact, none exists.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) published a report
yesterday stating ".the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance, a national lobbying and
advocacy group for hunters, has added its voice to PETA's call for a boycott
of pet food maker Iams." The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance is encouraging
sportsmen to contact the Iams Company, but the call to action is in no way
related to the antis' objection to the company's testing of pet food on
animals.
Sportsmen are urged to oppose Iams' sponsorship of Pet Fest America, a
series of animal shows developed by the country's largest anti-hunting
group, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
"Every dollar HSUS receives to fund programs represents money that is freed
up for use in campaigns to end hunting, trapping and fishing," said Bud
Pidgeon, U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance president. "We continue to encourage
sportsmen to participate in campaigns to educate corporate decision makers
about the dangers of affiliating with animal rights organizations and
causes."
Sportsmen can contact Iams to educate the company about HSUS's goals to end
hunting, fishing, trapping and other forms of animal use. Contact President
Jeffery P. Ansell, The Iams Company, 7250 Poe Ave., Dayton, OH 45414. Phone
