New Petition to Halt the Saskatoon African Events Show

[AB2506]

The antis are at it again. What a bunch of mis-information, apparently 91% of the Canadian public opposes sport hunting.

My personal opinion is that the show will go on this time around. The venues signing up, knew that this would probably happen, so knew what they were signing up for.
I like how the anti's took a page out of our book threatening to boycott the hotels.

One more nut with a Lion picture and a petition.

Not too worried about this one. I agree with Marius, Birgit was forewarned and so was the Travelodge.

A few comments about appreciating the promotion of the event.

This stuff is never going to end, the weak minded have been given too much power.

Just have to pull the plug.
Anyone for a DDOS on Change.org, just for giggles?

Why don't we start our own petition supporting those locations that have made an effort to host new venues knowing full well that they will bear the brunt of choosing to support the hunting community? I'd have no problem starting it. I also made the same suggestion on a rapidly growing Canadian Firearms forum.

Sorry Brickburn missed you comment. I was just putting together a petition on Change.org entitled "Support For Hosts Of New Hunting Venues". What do you think? Sorry can't think of anything fancy at the moment.

I have not been to Canada in a while, but to me it's one of the crown jewels of North America. Friendly people, beautiful land, hunting and fishing opportunities that are simple incredible. It's hard me to see the antis getting a foothold and taking over that country....it would be a damn shame.

I could not agree more enysse.

Post their names, photos and addresses on the net. That should scare the crap out of them

Well give it time for the new government to ruin it. Our new PM and the scary individuals pulling his strings make Obama look good

 

[AB2506]

Nobody makes Obama look good.

Nobody makes Obama look good.

You haven't met our new Prime Minister. He has nice hair and appears in Vogue.

'Nuff said.

Hey I bet it was Trudeau (our substitute drama teacher) who coached Barry on how to cry for the camera

This is what the wording will be on the petition:

"The hunting community wants to thank & support the effort that has been made by the Travelodge in Saskatoon, Sask, and Borgata Wedding Events, Toronto, ON to host Africa Hunting Events Expo. We applaud this choice which promotes conservation through managed hunting in Africa.

There are those who would have you believe that hunting is a cruel and inhumane act. One's emotion is fooled into believing that this is the correct action which is a mistake. Events that the anti hunting community would have you believe happen frequently couldn't be further from the truth. If the anti hunting community truly cared for what they consider is 'conservation" they would take the time to research the facts and educate themselves instead of using hunting to further their own selfish and egotistical gain. For the most part older animals that are at the end of their breeding prime are usually taken. This allows "new blood" to enter the gene pool. Banning hunting affects thousands of people from the tribes and villages that benefit form the harvest, to professional hunters, local economies and tourism dollars, booking agents and finally the hunters themselves. What a thrill it would be to go on a once in a life time adventure to see "The Dark Continent".

Hunting is necessary for inhibiting "overpopulation" through conservation. Human population growth has resulted in more man/animal encounters in Africa with the end result of the animal generally coming out on the short end of the stick. Dwindling ranges cause animals to venture on to farms and quite often attack livestock. The only way to address the issue from a constructive point of view is working with landowners to initiate and implement better conservation practices.

The anti hunting groups will argue otherwise but study after study has found that hunting is a key component of conservation no matter the what continent it takes place on.

We believe in ethical hunting practices. Those who practice otherwise should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It doesn't benefit anyone to allow these types of individuals to escape with a "slap on the wrist"

We look forward to continued future support from the Travelodge Saskatoon Hotel, and Borgata Wedding Events."

I'm forwarding it to the same individuals the original poster sent their petition to.

Any thoughts?

Only thing that makes our president look good would be to see him upside down in a trash can. Piece of liberal garbage. And a coward to boot.
