If hunters continue to argue amongst themselves, condemning certain, guns, or weapons, as well as methods of hunting, then it is so much easier for us to be attacked from outside the sport. I know that I need to do more to fight the legislation that is constantly coming down the line, trying to impede on our rights. This story of them trying to stop farmers from raising/selling horses for human consumption shows just how far animal rights groups will go to take away rights. After all, if they can get horses marked today, what will stop them from marking cattle tomorrow, and then deer the next day?

I testified at the USF&WS against the listing of the Polar Bear as an Endangered Species and the reality was that of the 80 people who testified, 75 of them were animal rights activists and groups, one was the minister of wildlife for Nunavut, SCI, and three others including me. That is a really poor turnout. We are in a world of hurt out there in the world of trying to protect our traditions. We need to mobilize, vote and become very zealous in protecting our right and privilege to hunt.

We all need to stand together to combat any attack on hunting, fishing or outdoor sports. Hunters and anglers can become a force to be reckoned with if they can learn how to stand together as the anti-hunting groups do. If there is one thing we can learn to the antis it is how to mobilize supporters and influence public opinion. I totally agree with you.
