Listen up! Humane Society cretins are attacking traditional ammo. Cretins, yes, I shouldn’t use personal attacks, but in this case the shoe fits. I mean, how else do you explain folks who want to ban hunting with traditional ammunition on public lands?<\/p>\n

As I write the Humane Society along with other fringe so-called ‘animal-rights’ organizations are pushing Sally Jewel, the Secretary of the U.S. Dept. of the Interior, hard to sign a 50-page petition filled with junk science that would outlaw lead-based ammo on the more than 160 million acres of federal lands controlled by the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.<\/p>\n

To put that in perspective, that land represents one-fifth of the total land area in the U.S.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying but we need to put a stop to this misguided effort. How can we do it?<\/p>\n

Well, we can call Secretary Jewell’s office directly and let our voices be heard: 202-208-3181.<\/p>\n

Another way to contact her is to send an email. Hornady\u00ae Manufacturing has set up a web page that has an editable file that we can fill out and send (click here<\/a> to access it). It doesn’t take longer than a few minutes to complete.<\/p>\n
