European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 26, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday october 25, 1985 the stars and stripes Page 11 Ann Landers letters i Cir Ann Landers this is in response to older people a Cine called by their first names by members of the medical profession.

Content in Salt Lake City i far . Thank for the discourse. Here s another Teller on he same subject. Dear Ann Landers i m Only 37 but i heartily agree with the elderly woman who objected to being called by her first name by everybody from medical personnel to the supermarket cashier who sees her name on a Check. The Bank i use obviously has instructed their people to use a first name policy. I Don t like it. 1 am afraid next they will ask me How my sex life is.

Fort wort ii Texas dear fort Worth thanks for a Lovely response. I certainly Hope she said " is somewhere along the line Brady s wife joins Board of anti handgun lobby Washington a the wife of James Brady the presidential press Secre tary who was shot in the head in the 1981 assassination attempt on president Reagan has joined the Board of an anti handgun  Brady whose husband was shot on March 30, 1981, As he left the Washington Hilton with Reagan and others will serve As a director of handgun control inc., the group announced. Reagan a secret service agent and a District of Columbia police officer were also struck. Brady was the most seriously wounded suffering brain damage from the .22-caliber Bullet. He remains confined to a  the attempt Reagan maintained his opposition to gun control. Ludwigs Burg writer disputes Hunters arguments Well Here we go again and i sincerely Hope we pet equal space. The three gentlemen who wrote about Hunting and trapping must be new at this game otherwise they d know by now that their image us the country s Foremost conservationists is by ginning to shake and the shroud covering what they really arc is lifting As More and More people Start questioning their motives. For those who still believe in the Hunting myth let me shed some Light on facts. First of All illegal poaching As you Call it or so called sports Hunting have the same goal to kill. So id s not Pul one on a Pedestal it s just As bloody As the other. Big Lime poaching started in Africa Well after or. Schweitzer s Lime having read much about this great Man i know that poaching was not w Hal he was thinking Aboul when he whole his prayer for the Ani Mals but killing regardless of the killer s motive. Second Hunting being a sport come on now. The object of the Hunt is to kill animals. Other elements such As the for Ever mentioned appreciation of Nal Urc the great exercise and Fellowship arc not Hunting. Anybody can find these benefits without killing wildlife. Besides where is the sport when one of the players in t aware that there is a con test and does t have the same equipment you encourage anyone to walk through the Forest just As Dawn Breaks surely you Don l mean during Hunting season no body in their right mind would Chance that. There seems to be an awful lot of Hunters out there who Don t know the Dif Ference Between a human and a Forest creature. Maybe those Are the ones who Haven t studied their biology and physiology third Hunters and this is emphasized in each of the three letters consistently mention that without them there d be no wildlife to speak of. The Pittman Robertson act of 1937 look the excise taxes on arms and ammunition from the general Treasury and placed them in a special Pool for the . Department of the Interior to distribute to the states where they arc used for habitat manipulation and to train Young people to Hunt. In 1978 the government collected Over $60 million from these taxes. There arc about 50 million gun owners in the United states yet Only 14 million Are Hunters. So actually the most Hunters can claim As their contribution is $16 million. The 560 million however is Only a Small part of the subsidy the taxpayer is making to the Hunting world. The Interi or s game commission s budget is around $235 million annually. Other millions come in through soil conservation pro Grams and state county and municipal acquisitions. While billions of Federal tax dollars Are used to Purchase National Parks forests and wildlife refuges these Public Truu bought with our in incs. Arc frequent turned Over to Hunters and trappers. Using simple Nilli Mclick one can Sec that the Hunters contribution  is1 quite Imin Saile. This is one sport in lie nation almost completely subsidy cd by the general Public of which 9.t percent Don t Hunt. In other words Hunters Are freeloaders destroying then Ilion in trea sure of wildlife and Public land. The fact that Elk Bear and a Host of other creatures exist is due to intense habitat manipulation not to inc Hunter s sense of responsibility. To achieve the to in of More game animals this was done to your Public land 422.868 acres were burned to let sunlight hit the Forest floor creating browse food for Deer thus stimulating birth rate 18,094 acres were Clear Cut same purpose o 35,415 acres were sprayed with defoliants same purpose 126,375 acres were bulldozed same purpose 599.526 acres were hooded to attract migrating geese and ducks for our sports men a guns 32,640 Miles of roads were constructed in the wilderness to give Hunters better Access for the kill of wildlife. The above data is from 1975. It has continued yearly at an increasing Rale. By this year 1985, the Federal government has subjected 2,465603 acres of your land to habitat manipulation. Millions of wildlife creatures arc roasted to death mangled and drowned during such habitat manipulation. Species requiring Forest or meadowland for survival lose their habitat permanently and be come extinct. Where i ask you is your love for wild life the answer is relatively simple aside from the 30 game species you great outdoors men Don t give a Damn. The Federal game commission the Hunter s protector lists Hunting As a cause for the extinction of species such As the Eastern Elk passenger Pigeon and Plains Wolf As Well As for the presence of do ens of species on endangered and threatened lists. I Don t find it one bit amusing thai peo ple who object to Hunting must give their hard earned Money to subsidize those who gel their kicks from killing and who then Pound their chests telling the rest of the world How great they arc. As far As the writer of the third letter is concerned his ignorance is clearly showing when he states that dispatching a trapped animal is a lot less painful than More about theater crybabies concerning the recent letter to the editor about crybabies in cafes Heaters. To my knowledge. Cafes is the Only theater at which Small babies arc Armissa ble. Docs this Tell us something about the military Type arc they totally inconsiderate of others or selfish just As the writer stated when our family was Young we either got a Sitter when we wanted to attend a movie or just stayed at Home. We did not bother other people with our youngsters. The writer also stated that he had no solution. Well i Nave a suggestion. Discontinue the privilege of admitting babies and Small children under the age of six years old unless it is a family rated movie. Another suggestion is to have the manager of the theater Monitor for noisy children during the movie. In t this his responsibility anyway i would think that part of his Job is to keep his patrons Happy. The Man Ager should make it a Point to know and be responsible if there arc Young children and babies attending his theater. He has a duty to the majority who wish to enjoy a performance to keep inc distractions to a mini mum. Betle a Hun Frankfurt Pien pals i am 20 Tara do and like to Cook Ting blk and swim.

Traps do not posters intelligence to distinguish Between a sick or healthy animal they also do not distinguish Between a or get or non target animal. In a study by the . Fish and wildlife service professional trappers intended to capture coyotes and bobcats in order to census their population. Of i he  caught 75 percent were nun target Spe cies. During one year of the 7s animals trapped Only one was a target animal. The number of Pels caught in traps is estimated to be in the thousands a year. Charles Darwin wrote about the use of steel in Gold traps in ihci3 some who reflect upon this subject for the first time will wonder How Sulci cruelly can have been permitted to continue in these Days of Civili action and no doubt if men of Educa Tion saw with their own eyes what lakes place under their Sanction the system would have been Pul an end to Long  since the outrage continues Over 120 years later one must assume that no Man of education has seen this torture.
