We are taking a stand against a new web site www.worldhunt.com. It is trying to make hunting into some kind of game... Go to the web site and read the letter to the hunters. It is about hunters scoring points for hunting and using a darting system. As you will see below WomenHunters, Inc. sent a letter of NON-Support. I am also posting a list of sponsors that have pulled out from WHA below our letter.


Mr. David Farbman, Commissioner and CEO
World Hunt

Mr. Farbman:

The Board and leadership of Women Hunters, Inc. have recently become aware of your new organization called World Hunt.  Unfortunately, having spent some time researching your program platform, we have decided to send you a letter of non-support.

As an organization devoted to promoting our hunting heritage with women and their families, we can not endorse any program that verbally espouses the virtues of hunting while then endangering the lives of wildlife through tranquilization for the purposes of human entertainment.  Further, we believe that the false image of hunters and the hunt that such a program will covey to the non-hunting public is not only irresponsible, but in our view, unethical.

Please be advised that this correspondence will be further duplicated to any of the would-be sponsors of World Hunt in an effort to encourage them to reconsider any business alignment with your organization while your current stated objectives remain in place.

Sincerely,

Claudia A. Eisenmann
Vice President of Communications
Board Member
Women Hunters, Inc.
