Just show's there's is alot of bunny hugger's ready to give there
money to wacko oganization's.

[Water Dog]

Well, you opened a can-o-worms now.

PTC (guest poster) will resight chapter and verse from these wacko's web sites telling you how wrong you are.

Dawg

[jake]

i'm impressed by the level of their investments. that money will continue to work for them. how much does the club(clubs) you belong to spend on investments? i belong to 2 and i will be checking.

[GLO]

Please take this garbage elsewhere. If it's true, give us some unbiased sources we can check, don't send people an email trap. This is ridiculous.

[vetspet(ind)]

sounds like glo has an axe to grind...looks like he gave two good references which would lead to others....you sound like the anti-"skeptical environmentalist" crowd...i gave literally hundreds of refs...they gave not one...they finally came up with a single reference indicating scientific american(which i showed is very biased) supported a group of enviro wacko scientists (3) who again beat up the book w/o a reference....some people like glo just follow the water buffalo crowd and quotes and refs have no meaning ...they just keep up their fluff about nothing....looks like somebody put a lot of time getting info on these groups to me altho i have not personally checked it out...i will guarantee you that "glo" has not checked it out...his type never do...steve heckler

[vetspet(ind)]

the "he" i referred to is Big C...he gave two good starting references....which glo will never check out ...glo just wants to create controversy w/o giving any facts...i know your type...lazy...easily fooled...follow the crowd...believe what makes you feel good...forget the facts...there has got to be facts supporting your side...you just don't know what they are...hehehe

[Nick(Ia)]

GLO, try checking the source and searching their site and archives for the budgets:

"you can lead a horse to water but..."

[thegronc]

GLO,

You are truly out of touch with reality(as is the status of most anti-hunting/fishing groups). The Humane Society is one of the biggest BS artists in the country. They bring in huge sums of money by bringing out sorrowful-looking stray animals, then, seven or fewer days late when not claimed, kill them. Instead of using the funds that donors had hoped would be used to keep the animals sheltered and fed, they waste on lobbying against many foolish things including wild animal rights(anit-hunting laws mostly-check their own website). What a bunch of BS! And to think at one time I was naive enough to think they actually took care of strays.

[GLO]

Now that we have established "vetspet" and "thegronc" are idiots, one is probably "BigC" or fan, what have we accomplished? First, nothing about my post suggests any position on any side of the issue. Second, it provides no insight into any character traits morons like you two would apparently attribute to people. Sounds like jumping to conclusions without facts, which is, if you read carefully, what I am against. I did check out the one source (see "BigC"'s other post) which provides no information whatsoever, it is merely an email form which if you answer will eventually get you all sorts of wonderful and useless emails, popups, etc. The only other source, which I also checked out, is "BigC"s organization. If you aren't smart enough to see that these are being posted to solicit your membership, so be it. I don't care if you join or not, but I personally don't believe this message board should be used by any organization, whatever their politics, to solicit membership and suck people into their email games. I don't rely solely on posts from organizations who rely on soliciation of funds to survive and advance their positions and if they are worth a #####, they will provide other sources. Heck, even the Saddam fanatics on the board occasionally provide some cites to various news or other sources (those, by the way, not the posts, are helpful).

[Trophy]

GLO:

As far as vetspet, and thegronc are concerned, I don't know them from Adam, but I will tell you this much, I would like to spend a day on the water, or in the woods with either one. Vetspet has proven to me to be an intellegent man by the content of his posts, and has proven to have the outdoorman's best interest at heart. The gronc also shows his concern for the freedoms we enjoy in the world of hunting, or fishing. Please enlighten us as to your affiliations to which clubs, organizations etc., and the number of days you spend in a year on the water, or in the woods.

[Bushwkr]

Too much regular coffee today for GLO. He should switch to decaffe for a while.
It always is a shame when posters result to name calling instead of good debate.
Heck, we might not agree on all topics, and that is what fair debate and these threads are all about.
The opionions and information we share on this Walleye Central web site are priceless.
Lots of good humor and fellowship too!

[Big C.]

Glo,

Please, don't be so bold as to judge someone elses intellect. I simply posted these bits of information for all to use or disgard at their leisure. As far as being an operative or having any affiliation with the organization that provideded this information you are wrong. I have no affiliation with them. Just thought the information was interesting for sportsmen and women.

Basic knowledge on the sunbject of animal rights groups will tell you that the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) is a completely anti-hunting and fishing organization as are the rest of the various organizations that are listed in the information I presented. They are very dangerous to the future of sport fishing and hunting. If you don't care to read about it or believe it that is fine.

[GLO]

Read No. 6 guy, I don't think my response was a bit unfair, it is idiotic (objectively speaking) to resort to the name-calling you are condemning which is what "vetspet" chose to do, rather than read and think. A bit harsh on "thegronc",however, he was just nonresponsive to anything I was questioning and off on some tangent about the Humane Society, so I'll most humbly apologize and take my lumps on that one. Wouldn't be registered (please take note guest users) and happily participate on this website if I didn't both enjoy and spend a considerable amount of time in the outdoors. As for "organizations" or "affiliations", please, let's hope none of us think they can judge anyone by their "affiliations" (Hello Mc Carthy!)or really think we can judge anyone by posts on a message board. Still waiting for the info I asked for, seems conspicuous by its absence.

[Big C.]

What specific info are you looking for? The information I posted was just information about the budgets of these organizations. I thought it was interesting. As far as the piece I posted regarding the damaging of the seafood company trucks, well that is public knowledge and was reported in a Chicago newspaper.

If I have the info you need I will post it here.

[GLO]

Which Chicago newspaper? I think I've been asking for this since last night, and want to find it. You refer only to the Tribune reporting an email, if that is where the rest of this information can be found, or some other paper, please provide the info.

[GLO]

Nevermind, found it myself, but shouldn't have had to. Giving us the Trib website and other information about the article seems to me to be more helpful than posting an organization's email form or website. Is the act reprehensible? Yes. To the extent you are promoting awareness, I'm all for it, just don't want my information filtered to me through the "alliance", PETA, NRA or anyone else, which is why I was asking for some independent information. Seems reasonable.

[JLucPicard]

GLO and all,

Here is a link to the story of the brake slashing incident. I originally went to www.ChicagoTribune.com and did a search for "truck brakes slashed", but when I clicked on one of the three resulting links, it said I need to be registered to view it. I chose not to, for reasons you probably understand. I did find the story on the US Sportsmen web site, but by posting the link, I am not encouraging anyone to join that does not want to, etc. I have no affiliation with the site, and am looking to see if I'm interested in joining - I am not currently a member. It's just that I found the story there and don't need to join anything to view it. That said, here's the story. I'm sure more information could be found if it was searched for.

Sorry folks. When I hit "post message" the first thing I see is Glo's message above (which wasn't there when I originally hit "Reply").

[GLO]

I'm guessing when you went to the Trib it may have been same day? I had no trouble getting it tonight, but I know from some of the newspapers in my state that you can't access the current edition stuff without registering, but a day later, no problem.

[Bradnd]

GLO,

After reading your postings & replys, I can only suggest you take a pill & chill out. Your sarcasm against others in not what this site is intended for. I can only wonder what your maturity level is or should be. Let's all get along.

Brad

[JLucPicard]

I went in just before putting together my reply (post #17). Go figure. Anyway, glad you could get to it!

Mike

[GLO]

It "in'nt"? Sorry, that was an example of being sarcastic, purely for fun. And, yes, I hit plenty of typos, too. Lighten up. Might have lost my cool a bit after being attacked by Billy Graham, but otherwise, was painfully trying to get an unbiased source on a serious issue. An organization with an agenda, soliciting participants and telling me second hand something about the Tribune or some other newspaper without also giving me the direct source is not useful. I'll try to be more mature and accept all the hearsay spread in the name of news by national political organizations - that was sarcastic, too, partly for fun. By the way, if we have any posters in the Chicago area who are following this story (which I regret must not have gotten national attention), would love to hear any follow up or citations to any more stories reported on this issue.

[zimmy3006]

Read your posting while eating a fresh venison steak. Good thing I was able to harvest this animal befor you run over it with your car and left it in the road ditch....

[Al]

Let's not judge someone by the affiliations they have?????So we'll let all of Sadam's right hand men go free. One of the best judges of a man is by the company he keeps. #####, Bill Clinton is a prime example of that.

[thegronc]

GLO,

And how have you established anything? You have made a generalized attack(where are the facts?) to back up the statements of the first post, but have not asked that of PETA or the like. Most of these groups are posting idiotic pseudo-research and opinion and use these as their "facts". If you don't like a certain group that you feel is soliciting, then just say so, don't take a "stance" by asking for "facts" against animal-rights psychos(because there is nothing but overwhelming facts aginst them).
