For your information....act now! Fox Sports has decided to allow and has been airing Anti-Trapping advertisments from the HSUS. Of course we can turn a blind eye to it and allow trapping to be attacked and eventually be banned.....or we can ban together and help fight HSUS. How do we do that? By writing Fox Sports. Here is the link to the feedback section of Fox Sports: msn.foxsports.com/feedback

Feedback to Fox: ------------------------------------------------ FOX "trapped" by HSUS?
HSUS is not your local puppy rescue facility. They are a group of Anti-Sports (Hunting/Fishing) activists only a shade less radical than PETA.
Trapping is a, perhaps the only, viable method of depredatory control available to the people who actually live where animals are - unlike the folks at HSUS.
Trapping is as much of a Sport as is Bass Fishing or Trophy Hunting - with the added advantage of lowering the population of potentially hazardous animals.
It seems utterly contrary to the Purpose of FOX Sports - promoing and capitalizing on Sporting Activity - to run the Anti Sporting ads of the HSUS.
Which Sport will you sell ads against next?

Done
Dear Sirs: I cannot believe that your "sports" network is taking the money from one of the biggest "anti sport" groups there is. HSUS. This group of radicals would like to end all hunting, trapping and fishing. How dare you call yourselves a sports network, and then help getting one of the sports, trapping, banned? Trapping is a sport, and is a needed tool in every state's wildlife management tool box. Often times the only effective tool for the species trapping targets. Please reconsider running these anti trapping ads. Trapping is a well respected sport, with ties to building this fine country of ours. Do not help end that tradition.

Come on you guys, whether you trap or not, we need your support to stop these freaks. It will only take a minute of your time. Someday it could be an anti-hunting commercial. I'd sure want the trappers to support us! You may think "it's just a commercial", yeah, but people that don't know any better, believe this crap!

Dear Fox Sports...
I will no longer be watching Fox Sports due to their decision to air HSUS commercials. This is especially hurtful as Fox Sports Midwest is the only station I can get St. Louis Blues games.

I wonder how many e-mails they got about this? If other forums responded like this one, their inbox should be bursting!

Just sent my comments. Has anyone heard back from them yet? I think an even better thing to do is forward a message to several of the major sponsors of Fox Sports programming with our concerns.

I recieved the following email from the US Sportsman's Alliance. Can anyone answer these questions? We need to help them all we can:
Eric: Thanks for contacting the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance regarding an anti-trapping ad on Fox Sports. Can you give me any more information about the ad? When did you see it? What is depicted? How many times has it run?
Any information you can provide will be helpful.
Many thanks!

STAND AND BE STRONG , yes I'm shouting, trapping is just one of a long list they want to do away with. Please send in your voice against this.
