learn of companies that are known to support animal rights groups.
The following businesses are currently running promotional
campaigns for animal rights organizations. Working Assets Long Distance – The company has established
the Working Assets Long Distance Animal Fund, a long distance offer that
donates $10, plus one percent of the customer’s bill to animal rights
groups including American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Doris Day Animal League, Farm
Sanctuary, In Defense of Animals, People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals and Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine. Sportsmen can voice concerns about these contributions to
Laura Scher, CEO, Working Assets Long Distance, 101 Market St., Suite
700, San Francisco, CA 94105. EcoISP – EcoISP donates 50 percent of the profits from an
individual’s subscription to an environmental group of his choice.
In one of its marketing efforts, it claims that a customer
signing on and donating to PETA will be satisfied knowing that half of
his subscription profits will support animal rights and animal welfare.
EcoISP forgot to mention that the funds could also go to support
animal rights terrorism. In its attempts to end animal use, PETA donated $1,500 to the
Earth Liberation Front (ELF) – a noted domestic terrorist
organization. In addition,
it has allied with Animal Liberation Front – the sister organization
of ELF - and paid legal fees for convicted terrorists Roger Troen and
Rodney Coronado. Sportsmen who are looking for a
quality ISP should try Outdoors Unlimited.
Outdoors Unlimited is a unique and affordable Internet Service
Provider (ISP) devoted to protecting the rights of sportsmen. U.S.
Sportsmen’s Alliance and U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation
members receive a discount on activation fees and a portion of the
$19.95 monthly access fee can be donated to our organization. To
subscribe, call toll-free (877) 922-4868. Saab Continues Support of Anti-Hunting Group – Saab Cars
USA remains in partnership with HSUS.
The car company contributes 10 percent of every purchase from its
Pet Gear collection to the anti-hunting organization.
Sportsmen are encouraged to contact Saab and express their
displeasure with the company’s support of America’s largest
anti-hunting group. Contact
Debra Kelly-Ennis, President of Saab Cars USA, Inc., 4405 International
Blvd # A, Norcross, GA 30093-3205. Phone: (770) 279-0100 Build-A-Bear Workshop Expands Partnership with HSUS – The Build-A-Bear Workshop has disregarded comments from sportsmen opposing its support of HSUS and expanded its partnership with the anti-hunting group. Scores of sportsmen have contacted Build-A-Bear Workshop since the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance’s announcement that the company is donating $1 from the sale of every black lab stuffed dog to HSUS. Build-A-Bear Workshop ignored sportsmen and now it donates $1 from the sale of any large black lab and Golden Retriever toy to the anti’s. Sportsmen should tell Build-A-Bear Workshop that promoting HSUS does not help animals in shelters, but it does put America’s outdoor heritage at risk. Send your comments to Maxine Clark, Build-A-Bear Workshop CEO at (888) 560-2327. Comments may also be sent to Maxine Clark, CEO, Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc., 1954 Innerbelt Business Center Dr., St. Louis, MO 63114. Fax (314) 423-8188.
