There is still time to get this critically important legislation passed, but you must act now! S. 3525 is an essential piece of legislation focused on the expansion and enhancement of hunting, recreational fishing and shooting on federal public land. But it’s more than that. Read more

Don’t be fooled by those puppy eyes and here’s why.
This from HumaneWatch.org…
A look inside the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) – the largest and most well-financed anti-hunting group in the world.

Lifting the Mask on HSUS’s Veganism
.jpg)
The Humane Society of the United States (not to be confused with your local pet shelter) doesn’t often come out and openly demand that you “go vegan” like its comrades at PETA do.
