Dear John,

The animals rights extremists scored a major victory today with the NSW Government committing to banning Greyhound Racing.
As responsible hunters we abhor animal cruelty and certainly don’t condone illegal or unethical treatment of animals.
But that’s not what this is about.
This is about the animal rights lobby imposing their agenda on the community. Today it is greyhounds, last month it was live exports, the month before that it fishing, before that it was duck hunting.

Countering these attacks with facts is a full time job for us – we spend more money per member on politics than any other hunting or shooting organisation in Australia but the simple truth is it is not enough.

When a State Government can shut down an entire industry at the behest of the animal rights lobby as they did today, you begin to see just how tenuous our position is.

If this was just an isolated incident you could be forgiven for thinking that it was an anomaly.
But it’s not. It’s part of a general push from a group in our society who are opposed to all animal use by humans, who are self righteous, well funded, well organised and who increasing in numbers and influence.

Consider just a few of the more high profile recent examples:
At the Federal Election on the weekend we saw Derryn Hinch elected to the Senate on a platform including “Animal Justice”.
In Victoria this year we saw major duck swamps closed and hunters moved on with just minutes notice at the behest of Animals Australia.
In New South Wales a few years ago we saw game hunting shut down overnight following pressure from groups like GetUp!
In Western Australia last year we saw a ferocious and misleading campaign against hunting run by the RSPCA - including full page advertisements in the major newspaper.
Just a fortnight ago in Victoria we saw the former longstanding CEO of the Australian Conservation Foundation appointed as the “independent” chair of the Government taskforce which will decide the fate of much of the public land we hunt on.
In the Australian Parliament last year we saw the importation of a legal firearm banned on the whim of a bureaucrat.
The year before that we saw the Senate conduct a full blown inquiry into firearms at the request of the Greens.
We value the contribution that every member makes and we couldn’t do what we do without it.

If you value what we do and have an extra $5 to spare we would really appreciate the contribution and we will certainly put it to good use – every cent contributed to our fighting fund will go directly into ramping up the political fight for all hunters (if you want to give more than $5 we’re happy with that too – simply increase the “quantity” on your order to go up in multiples of $5).
