Californians Need Your Help to Defeat Two Initiatives

Californians Need Your Help to Defeat Two Initiatives
June 18, 1998, Coronado, CA
Hold the label!
This city initiative would require a “negative eco label” on every fur sold in the city of Beverly Hills. The label would detail how the animal might have been killed and includes both legal and illegal methods. Of course, this label is pushed by the animal rightists promoting it as a “consumer choice”campaign but everyone is wondering “Who’s next?”
Should we tally up all the birds, rabbits, rodents, snakes, all the animals harmed by agricultural combines, then label salads and tofu “bunny unsafe” as part of some consumer choice concept? Should t-shirts be labeled, “Cotton was produced with methods known to injure and kill animals as well as take their habitat?” Should medicine come with a sticker stating, “Brought to you by animal research?” Should condos carry a sign, “Warning! Warning! Habitat loss and animal deaths?” Should sushi have a tag, “This fish was suffocated?” And how was the cattle killed to produce those steak sandwhiches? Or is that taking the truth in labeling concept too far?
“Who’s next on the animal rights agenda?” asked Keith Kaplan, president of Fur California. “Will each shop in Beverly Hills be forced to attach labels to leather, steak, silk, sushi, cotton, vegetables and medicines? And how much will we have to pay to how many different animal rights groups for these labeling programs?”
Enough! Hold the label!
We need your help to defeat the Beverly Hills negative label initiative, scheduled for March of 1999.
Support wildlife management tools!
Californians are also fighting a statewide initiative that would ban virtually all the tools the wildlife managers use to maintain a balance between animal populations and healthy habitat. This initiative would make it impossible to control non-native species, to limit damage by animals to levees, crops, buildings and other animals. It would make it impossible to stop the spread of diseases from animal to animal and from animals to humans.
Once again, this initiative is being pushed by animal rights groups such as the Humane Society of the United States, the Fund for Animals, the Animal Protection Institute, International Fund for Animal Welfare and PeTA.
Enough! We support our wildlife managers by protecting the full range of tools they need to manage animal populations!
We need your help to defeat the California state anti-wildlife management tools initiative, scheduled for November 1998.
What you can do
Contact your friends in California about these animal rights initiatives. We need to spread the word in grassroots newsletters, faxes and email lists. Please contact me and I will make sure you get information to distribute. Spread the word so we can defeat both of these horrible initiatives!!!!
And thanks!
