[patvetzal]

Just bought some water buffalo hamburger from the Buff Store south of us....Good thing we were able to drive home.....

In African countries,like everywhere else,the one thing that will get their attention is disappearing revenue. Cooler heads will prevail,I'm sure.

How long before this includes Elk, Moose, mule deer, white tail, caribou etc on domestic flights

Not to worry. FedEx and UPS would only be too happy to take up the slack. Business is business.LOL

Your right, silly PR move that really affects no one.

victimless?

I don't know, why don't we ask the Inuit about the ban on Seal Products.

I agree. There will aways be somebody willing to have your business that others give up.

B wilson i sat beside a moose three months ago on US air and a caribou last week on air canada. Trust me they should both be banned.

Knee jerk reactions make me giggle...

Everyone can sit and giggle and shake their heads and pretend that this means nothing, but I'm of a different opinion. This represents a major PR coup by the anti-hunting crowd. It shows that cowardly corporations - like politicians - have caved to the fanatics. We are only one tiny little step away from having the major carriers banning the transport of rifles on their flights.

Hunters have got to wake up and realize that our sport/past-time/recreation is dying an all to quick death of a thousand cuts. And the main reason is our own laziness and complacency.

Here is the contact info that I copied from a post on the Canadian Landowner blog. I am writing a letter to Air Canada this morning telling them that I regret using one of their flights last week to fly home from Saskatchewan, and I will assure them that I will not repeat the mistake in the future.

Pretty much Big Bear.

When what's her name posted the ill advised images of her Giraffe, the outcry gained quite a bit of traction. Exactly what the activist wanted. A rose by any other name is still a rose. The public shaming (read bullying) has only intensified.

The airlines are either acting in self defense (not wanting to become targets themselves) or are capitalizing on it, in feel good moves.
I happened to notice within minutes of AC making the announcement a second "ad" from AC about some other "oh look at us".
funny that.

You rarely "win" with knock out punches. You "win", one little battle at a time.

As far "bans" go.
One has to wonder if in the future the airlines might ban domestic flights with trophies (Elk, Mule, Other) etc. The EU has banned seal imports.........
