URGENT!! YOUR SUPPORT NEEDED FOR A FELLOW AR ADVOCATE!

October 10, 2007

Dear Friends, How many allies does the AR movement have within influential government circles? We all realize they are precious few. That's why we can ill afford the loss of even ONE voice. Those elite need our protection and support if we're ever to make serious strides toward ending animal suffering. One such gentleman has fallen under a barrage of attacks simply by speaking out against bow hunting in the state of Maryland. He's a member of the Maryland Wildlife Advisory Commission, the citizen group advising the Department of Natural Resources regarding wildlife matters.This man is braver than most...he is the ONLY man advocating for animals among an agency dominated by hunting interests. Commissioner Joe Lamp, was courageous enough to write a piece denouncing bow hunting and has been hit with thousands of vile, hate-filled emails from hunters the world over. His position within Maryland's Wildlife Advisory Commission may well

be in jeopardy. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bal-op.bowhunting12sep12,0,3461151story Only days ago, in the state of California, we witnessed the swift demise of one who dared to stand in opposition to the NRA. This latest victim wasn't exactly advocating for animals, in the sense that he himself hunts. Fish and Game Commissioner R. Judd Hanna apparently crossed the line when recommending a ban on lead bullets; which have been directly responsible for the continued decimation of California's endangered condors. He was bullied into tendering his resignation, when outraged hunters rallied on behalf of their right to continue using cheaper lead ammo. The AR movement desperately needs voices advocating for animals within government positions. Please show your support for Commissioner Lamp by writing a letter of commendation on his behalf to the DNR. Wildlife Advisory Commission: Email: wac Dept.
