Save Our Wildlife
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
I am writing to ask you to help me stand up for our hunting heritage by voting in the affirmative in the poll found at the link below. This poll is connected to the upcoming public debate that will pit Field & Stream Magazine Editor Anthony Licata and I against HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle and Adam Roberts, CEO of Born Free USA. This debate will take place on May 4th in New York City as part of the nationally syndicated radio program Intelligence Squared and will be aired on 200 public radio stations as well as webcast and podcast. The poll results will be part of the program and winning the poll is critical to putting these leading animal rights extremists on the defensive from the start of the program.
You can be part of our eventual victory by voting in favor of the proposition “Hunters Conserve Wildlife” by clicking here.
Participation in the poll is open to all so please vote even if you reside outside of the United States. Please also share this appeal with those in your network who you feel might be interested.
As you can see from the number of votes already cast, animal rights extremists have already mounted a campaign to drive the poll in their favor. They have the momentum but we can take it from them and set the stage for Anthony and I to show the listening public how shallow and unethical the anti-hunting position is.
Thank you for your help and for all you do to conserve our outdoor heritage.
Best,
Catherine E. Semcer

Prince Williams's view on Hunting and Poaching:
Dr. Gert Dry discusses the extent of the game ranching industry in South Africa and the important role it plays within the economy of the country:
The Elephant Ban Debacle
"So we are faced with a farcical situation with a starving elephant population on one side of the fence and on the other one of the poorest communities in the world being denied revenue from the utilization of a natural resource because of a perceived but inaccurate concern for the wellbeing of a single animal species that is actually in a state of overpopulation.
Quite simply, the ecosystem of this part of Africa cannot sustain these elephant numbers. For FWS to declare that sport hunting within the communal lands neighbouring Hwange is having a detrimental effect on this population is ludicrous and without any scientific basis as is the charge that the illegal off take of elephant within Hwange National Park is of the same gravity to that of the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania."

Animal Rights Versus Sustainable Use
The Difference
Trade Bans Don’t Work Part 1:
The War We Fight as Hunters
"According to Agence France-Presse, some 40% of al-Shabaab’s funding comes from illicit trafficking in wildlife products. Al-Shabaab and al-Qaeda are more or less the same thing, and that’s about as big league as it gets. So how long is it going to be before the world’s free governments take aim at the ivory and rhino horn trade to try and dry up another source of terrorist dollars - if local governments can’t keep a lid on it?"
