Clausen Stuttgart Germany German rejects prejudice i m a White German female and i am deeply ashamed of the prejudice existing not Only in this country. I have been a and still am a working with Auslander foreigners. Most of the time i have had rather positive experiences with them. Prejudice is an attitude and unless we change our Way of thinking there wont be much of a change. Who Are we the White people anyway to say that the a a others Are different maybe we Are the ones who Are different.

A Mindy Atkinson Hanau Germany a today a Cooks a proud once again we have heard from a a a qualified food service expert on the Usa eur culinary arts show. Apparently you have years of experience dealing with food service personnel. Your phrase a slopped into and out of a term item shows the attitude that food service personnel have been trying to break for the last 20 years. Gone Are the Days of the a Chow Hall and a mess  today a personnel Are highly trained and Are usually very caring and proud of the products that Are served in their facilities. As always there Are people who come to the facility and done to read the menu before entering get to the line and say a a what a that Slop a then laugh. These people Are rude disrespectful and if i had my Way would never eat in the dining facility again. You question the Cost of materials and fuel to Convene the Competition. Did you attend the show did your Community support a team to participate in the show done to try to Lump every food service person into one big picture. It just does no to work. By the Way everybody at the Usa eur show was not try and most used their own vehicles. A staff sgt. Todd a.

First because i find it morally wrong to kill any living thing for sport or when physical survival is not a concern and secondly because the facts do not support sport Hunters rationalizations on Why they trap maim or kill these animals. Hunters rationalizations that their Hunting licenses and associated fees have contributed immeasurably to the conservation of America s wildlife is True Only for a Small percentage of animals. The Council on environmental Quality has stated that $97 of every $100 spent by Federal and state governments on wildlife management which includes fees collected from Hunters goes to less than 3 percent of the species the ones specifically used for Hunting trapping or fishing. In 1988, defenders of wildlife an organization by the Way which is not opposed to Hunting found that states spend More than 90 percent of their wildlife funds on game animals even though they constitute a Small number of species. Its a vicious financial Cycle. State wildlife agencies Are dependent on Hunter fees to pay for salaries and programs and therefore must provide targets for Hunters in order not to commit financial suicide. However for thousands of imperilled species the . Fish and wildlife service has sufficient information to immediately classify at least 2,000 species As threatened or endangered there Are no management plans no recovery efforts and no critical habitat designations. The rationalization that Man has to take the place of the predator who has been cast out of his Home by habitat destruction or for the Protection of livestock is equally assured. In addition Hunters have been doing a Good Job destroying natural predators without the help of other fac letters to the editor tors. Take the Black Bear. Only 500 to 1,000 Black bears remain in Florida but the Florida wildlife authorities allowed Hunters to kill 50 of them during the 1989-90 season using dog packs telemetry and off Road vehicles. Predation control is another topic but suffice to say the loss to Wyoming ranchers by predators in 1989 was approximately $340,000. In turn the . Department of the Interior spent $1.35 million killing 7,472 of these Wyoming  blackbirds coyotes skunks beavers raccoons opossums foxes wolves eagles Mountain Lions and bears have All been the target of predation control policies. In 1988, there were a total of 4.54 million animals trapped burned poisoned snared shot and burned out of their Dens under the Federal governments animal damage control program.
