Perhaps someday in the near future the Safari Club menu may feature 'unintended consequences.'

Rocking the house at the Safari Club International annual convention, Sarah Palin warned Obama was out for their gun rights—and dangles a major hint about 2012.  (click here)





The Auction List of the Safari Club International (click title to entry - thank you) 

Where is PETA when you need them?

Kindly note the number of donors that need to be boycotted.  (Pages 8 through 13 of the PDF)

If they aren't stopped at 'this level' they go further and further into assaulting the DECENCY of a civilized people, regardless the country.


The ONLY hunting that should be conducted globally is that of a camera.  The Tiger is now an endangered species.  When does it stop.  ANY marketing of artifacts should be banned by international agreement and those engaging it all trade, regardless of the 'age' of the artifact needs to be imprisoned.  It is only when the sale of ANY artifact of any threatened and endangered species is stopped will poaching stop.

If one is worried about the global gun trade it needs to stop beginning with hunters having legitimacy to anything other than a camera lens.

I didn't note any tranquilizer guns being auctioned off as a support to tourism globally.

For those that would say this goes to far, I state it doesn't go far enough.

Page 77 of PDG shows a hunter perched next to a dead elephant with tusks.  That is a direct solicitation of an illegal market and I don't care if it some ludicrous game preserve.
It goes on and on.  This organization gives permission to illegal activity.  Such activity of any form is to give permission to poaching and the further endangerment of species.
