Patronize only businesses, doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, etc., who do not hunt. Ask them todisplay the "I Don't Hunt" sign. . Form an "I Don't Hunt" club in your area to wrve as a protective unit for private lands posted against hunting and trapping. . Ask the PTA to press for nonemplo) ment for teachers who hunt and bar speakers from the Game Commission or sporting clubs. . Keep your children out of the Hoy Scouts and other youth groups until the policy of promoting hunting is changed to promoting' protection. , . Let your children know that the National Wildlife Federation is a composit of sports hunting groups, that their mass "conservation mailings" with the pretty stickers of wildlife are appeals for funds used to promote hunting, that their Disney --type magazine "Ranger Rick" is aimed at instilling in young minds the love of killing helpless creatures. 7. Consider changing your church - or religion - if the leaders hunt or sponsor fund raising banquets on the flesh of wildlife. 8. Ostracize socially those who hunt. 9. Ask all candidates for public office if they will back the movement to ban hunting. 10. Send FOA's "Award" to all hunters in your area: "When a man wantonly destroys the works of man, he is called a vandal; when he wantonly destroys the works of God, he is called a sportsman." (Joseph Wood Krutch). What Mrs. Herrington fails, or refuses, to recognize is that hunters have contributed over $2.2 billion for the conservation of wildlife in less than 50 years, that right now hunters pay over $145 million a year for conservation, that hunters do more to aid the cause of wildlife than any other group in America. Every time a hunter buys a migratory waterfowl stamp he contributes to conserve wildlife. Through the purchase of this stamp, hunters contribute almost $6 million a year for conservation. Since enactment of the program in 1934, purchase of S8 duck stamps by hunters has raised over $117 million. Kvery time a hunter buys a firearm or box of ammunition he contributes to wildlife conservation through an 11 percent excise tax on these items. Hunters provide almost $40 million a year for wilo. ,'e through this tax, which, since 1937, has raised over $439 million. Hunters contribute to wildlife conservation every time they buy a hunting license, funds used by state wildlife departments to finance wildlife management programs and to improve wildlife habitat. Such license fees currently provide state wildlife departments with over $100 million each year. To date they have aided wildlife conservation with over $1.6 billion. The real enemy of wildlife was placed into proper perspective by Nathaniel P. Reed, Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife and Parks, speaking before the American Humane Association in October 1972. The Secretary, a man of impeccable integrity and conservation credentials, summed up the whole question of the role hunting plays in wildlife conservation with these words (only a small portion of the entire text): "In considering what is humane in treatment of wild animl it worse to cleanly kill a selected mallard duck with a gun, or to cover it with oil, drain its marshes so it can't reproduce or eat, or subtly poison it with pesticides or other chemicals over a period of years? "The issue of anti-hunting is a false one because it sidetracks people from attacking the real threats to our wildlife. "It's not the hunters (who pose a threat); it's the dammers, the ditchers., and the drainers, those who cut and dig our lands beyond the capacity to recover or to sustain life whom you need to face eye to eye if you desire humane treatment for wild animals. And the land speculators who are determined to sell every square inch of America to some sucker. There are no slopes too steep, no soil too unstable, no ecosystem too fragile that the modern-day hucksters won't sell to some innocent sap. "The danger is that while those interested in wildlife debate hunting, the developers continue merrily on their paths to sending wildlife into oblivion." These are the strong words of Assistant Secretary Reed. In our . view. Mrs. Herrington and Foa colleagues, hunters are in reality the good guys in wildlife conservation.

Friends of Animals Bite Hand That Protects Wildlife By MILT GUYMOX The New York-based group called'Triends of Animals" has as its self-appointed president Mrs. Alice Herrington. For a number of years Mrs. Herrington has been highly vocal in her opposition to hunting or trapping of any wildlife. Evidently quite a few people agree with her for the organization raised over a half million dollars in 1971 in contributions. How much of this half million went for the conservation of wildlife is anyone's guess but we think most of it went to fight hunters rather than save wildlife. But that's really beside the point. Her current effort to "conserve" wildlife flies the banner "What You Can Do to End the Business "of Hunting". In it she lists for those Ranch Aero Airplane Spraying Co. owned & operated By Paul N.
