n2horns Report post Posted February 15, 2018 Yep, you read the headline correctly. Whole Foods has given Arizonans for Wildlife, which is the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in disguise, a green light to solicit ballot initiative signatures at their stores. http://web-extract.constantcontact.com/v1/social_annotation?permalink_uri=2syGEK1&image_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmlsvc01-prod.s3.amazonaws.com%2F7e428b58001%2F244de3e5-b14c-4122-abb5-25278caada15.jpg%3Fver%3D1518660621000 . Yep, you read the headline correctly. Whole Foods has given Arizonans for Wildlife, which is the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in disguise, a green light to solicit ballot initiative signatures at their stores. So, if you have been a patron of Whole Foods, you might want to find another grocer in Arizona. Whole Foods had a choice to cater to HSUS. You have a choice to spend your grocery money elsewhere. In case you missed it in the last couple weeks, the head of HSUS Wayne Pacelle has resigned, even after the majority of his board voted to keep him. Here is a link to shed some light on that development. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/02/us/humane-society-ceo-sexual-harassment-.html Also of interest, the Arizona Humane Society has clarified the fact they are not the Humane Society of the United States! Click here for their statement. Helping dogs and cats at animal shelters is a noble endeavor pursued by the Arizona Humane Society. Ballot initiatives based on emotion, lies, misstatements and untruths to eliminate scientific wildlife management, and ultimately eliminate hunting, are the modus operandi of the HSUS. Decline to Sign and spread the word! Jim Unmacht Executive Director 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossislider Report post Posted February 15, 2018 Just so everyone understands, we are dealing with a lot people who don't think like normal people and have zero boundaries they are unwilling to cross to accomplish their agenda. A couple of night ago I entered into a conversation with a handful of these activists on a Facebook post about Whole Foods. Some involved in the discussion are the leaders of this anti-hunting movement here in Arizona. I mistakenly thought we could have a friendly rational discussion about the issue, but was clearly mistaken. It wasn't long before this particular individual (see screen shots below) decided to troll my Facebook page and crossed the line in her comments. A lot more was said that what the screen grab shows, but you get the jist. In fairness, the leader of this local movement, Kellye Pinkleton, was kind and professional during our dialogue, and did not in any way appear supportive of her minion's comments in this instance. Please make sure you let your friends, neighbors, family, etc know what type of people we are dealing with. Here is a link to the conversation if any would care to read, it went pretty long under one of the replies. https://www.facebook.com/kpinkleton/activity/10155817358396293?comment_id=10155817591111293&reply_comment_id=10155819912441293¬if_id=1518617437219051¬if_t=open_graph_action_comment_reply&ref=notif 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brademan76 Report post Posted February 15, 2018 Saw this unfortunate git outside of whole foods a couple of weeks ago. Before the ridicule- its the first time wife and i have been in over 3 years- we wanted to see how the Amazon purchase changed selection and prices- not enough for me to visit again any time soon. You should've seen all the people stopping to sign. Its too bad our legislative system doesn't allow for the gathering of counter-signatures to prevent the initiative from making to the ballot. Posted this in the hunting politics forum. They know that crowd is ripe for their BS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
