Dear C.A.S.H. Members and Supporters
by Jim Robertson
As you read in my article beginning on the previous page, it was another intense summer this year. But that’s about over for now, and we’re heading right into another intense season: Autumn (better known as hunting season, for those with a rifle and a freezer, but who’ve yet to grow a conscience for animals).
Among my daily tasks for C.A.S.H. is to search keywords like “hunter,” “hunting” or “hunting accidents” to ferret out articles to post to the C.A.S.H. Website (abolishsporthunting.org), the C.A.S.H. Blog (committeetoabolishsporthunting.wordpress.com) and Facebook page. The problem with wading through search results under the heading “hunter” is that most matches these days are about Hunter Biden and not about obsessed animal killers.
I’m reading more and more about his possible presidential ambitions and I’m not overly enthusiastic about having a U.S. President named “Hunter.” But what I’m far more concerned about is if Donald Trump Jr. follows suit and runs in his aged daddy’s stead. Then we could end up with a rabid, frothing, trophy hunter as our next commander in chief!
In case you don’t yet know, Donald Trump Jr. is a world-touring trophy-getter who proudly posed with the animals he mowed down in Zimbabwe, including (but not limited to) a Cape buffalo, a crocodile and an elephant (whose severed tail he held up for the camera along with the knife used to cut it off). His trip to Mongolia to slay a rare species of sheep cost taxpayers $75,000.00. He also hunted in Alaska, where he made Sarah Palin look like Jane Goodall. Indeed, compared to Donald Jr., Ted Nugent would seem more like Tiny Tim strumming his ukulele and singing “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” than the crazed psycho mass-murderer he is.
Clearly, voters in this country need groups like C.A.S.H. to keep them informed about candidates who teeter on the edge of insanity. We’ll continue to do our best to keep them on the straight and narrow
