Mr. Wolfgang,
And your remarks are constructive on what level other than in revealing your
prejudice and classist attitude? You should be so grateful that your place
in the world today has not been overly constrained by socio-economic
conditions of generations preceding you. Moreover, this gratitude could and
should translate into a willingness to assist those you mock.

Disney's Anti-Hunting Bias is UnBEARable- (11/26)
Disney's most recent animated feature, "Brother Bear," is following in
the
anti-hunting footsteps of "Bambi" as it hits theatres in time for the
holidays - and hunting seasons.
The movie is about a young Native American hunter, Kenai, who is
transformed
into a bear. He becomes the adoptive father of a cub, only to find that
another hunter is stalking him. Daniel Neman, a writer for the Richmond
Times-Dispatch in Virginia notes, "the film makes an anti-hunting
statement
that is out of place for American Indians."
In sportsmen's eyes, the Disney flick could not come at a poorer time.
This
year, sportsmen have been forced to defend bear hunting across the
country.
The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance's National Bear Hunting Defense Task Force
and
other conservation groups rallied hunters to prevent Congress from
banning
the use of bait to hunt black bears. It is currently working to protect
a
recently established bear hunt in New Jersey. The Alliance is preparing
for
campaigns in Maine and Alaska to protect bear hunting from anti-hunting
attacks that promise to be on the 2004 ballot.
Disney Goes Overboard
PETA has modified a film poster from the Disney blockbuster Finding Nemo
to
promote its anti-fishing campaign. Disney's cartoon fish, Nemo and
Marlin,
appear on PETA's website and leaflets that read, "Fish are friends, not
food!"
Take Action! Sportsmen should flood The Walt Disney Company with
contacts
telling it that allowing PETA use of its Finding Nemo characters is
aiding
an organization that has spent tens of thousands of dollars paying legal
fees for convicted terrorists. Inform the company that PETA is also
being
investigated for sending $1,500 to the Animal Liberation Front, an
underground group identified by the FBI as a domestic terrorist
organization. Contact Mr. Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO, The Walt
Disney
Company, 500 S. Buena Vista St., Burbank, CA, 91521-9722. Phone (818)
560-1000. Fax (818) 560-1930.

At first glance, it would appear that you are to be congratulated, Mr.
Ehlers. Efforts such as yours on behalf of the anti hunting and fishing
movement currently gaining popularity in America, and in much of the rest
of
the world, would be highly valued were it not for the fact that hunters
and
fishers are already well represented by imbeciles who cannot legitimately
distinguish between their siblings and the mothers of their children.
Naturally, the fact that you and your opponents are kissing cousins just
adds spice to the mixture. One hardly knows who to shoot first!
