ALERT WHA so far and where we need to go ALERT

[Mike Tomano]

FYI, Ted Nugent has also been very vocal in his condemnation of WHA.

IDHA Indiana Deer Hunter's Association Statement:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Indiana Deer Hunters Association is against any shooting of deer behind a high fence that is not "Fair Chase". Military installations, National Wildlife Refuges as well as some ranches do offer "Fair Chase" opportunities. We also are against any drugging of an animal short of medical treatment or scientific study."
Joe Bacon
President Indiana Deer Hunters Association
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No deer or other animal enclosed within a high fence should be considered as fair chase IMHO. If the animal can't get over,under,around or through the fence with relative ease, then it is NOT fair chase.
That being said, I am glad that the IDHA has taken the stance against WHA.

Check out Vermonster's post with the WHA my space link. Guess whose logo and link is in the upper left corner of their page????? MOSSY OAK!!!
BUSTED!!!

"We would like to state, unequivocally, that Mossy Oak has never been, nor will ever be, directly or indirectly connected to the World Hunting Association."  Joedee Henry

No they aren't busted. It isn't Mossy Oak that put that there. You need to follow the links and really look at what is there. This is more trickery by the WHA crew to try to appear accepted. If anything, a few companies look like they could be bringing some copyright infringement lawsuits if they so desired.

Yeah, but I bet they won't. Again, I think this is a bunch of them that are playing both sides of this fence. If it turns out great, they'll be connected. If not, they can say "we said we didn't support it". All of them are lying in my humble opinion, simply because they are allowing even a tenuous connection between their companies and this farce.

To those companies that are allowing this connection: Put yer money where your mouth is boys, have yer legal depts send cease and desist letters or you are no better than the supporters.

Here is MO's response.

Thanks for pointing that out. MySpace is a crazy phenomenon. It’s difficult to patrol the use of our mark on the internet. It’s easy to pull images and use them wherever. We’re investigating if anything can be done about this, but it’s someone’s personal page. I don’t know if there is a way to remove our mark from this. Our only option is to probably ask the person to remove, knowing it may not be done. It’s so unbelievably easy to misrepresent yourself on MySpace.

Just know that we do not and will not support WHA in any way. Thanks.

Add the United Bowhunters of Illinois to the growing number of organizations opposed to the World Hunt Association.  Our letter of disapproval on this topic was sent to Farbman today.
