The general public is not pay- ing much attention to animal rights demands to stop using animals for food, medical research or display in zoos. For those who hunt, fish or trap, animal rights has become a clear and present danger. At the 59th Annual Con- ference of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters in Ottawa, On- tario sportsmen began par- ticipating in a common band to oppose irrational attacks. Representatives of the Ontario Trappers Association attended the conference, and Kirk Smith of the Fur Institute of Canada gave a keynote @itess for a session on animal rights. Smith encouraged the anglers and hunters to become active in opposing animal rights, a movement he described as a revolu- tionary and_ violent political program that aims to eliminate all use of animals. He said, 'Ac- tivists have targeted for at- tack all fur, all wildlife use, factory farming, zoos, the circus, (and) laboratory research. If we do not ef- fectively defend and pro- mote the conservation ethic, we will be forced to relinquish our responsibili- ty to manage wildlife'. The audience of anglers and hunters showed a keen interest in cooperating with other groups to meet the threat posed by animal rights. The O.F.A.H. is a member of the Fur In- stitute and Federation members are aware of the threat posed to both hun- ting and fishing by both animal rights activists and preservationists, the "soft core"' of the animal rights movement. O.F.A.H. Executive Vice President Rick Morgan said, "It really shook some of our members to see a television clip of an animal rights activist saying that fishing should be banned Stewart, Committee Chairman. Bonspiel prize con- tributors included Molson's Breweries, Reinhart Vinegars, and the City of Barrie. Next year's spiel will be hosted by the Pene- tanguishene Curling Club. In other recreation news from the County of Sim- coe's Recreation and Cultural Services Commit- tee of the Recreation and Special Services Depart- ment, Sports Medicine Workshops will be held in Bradford, Tottenham, Wasaga Beach and Midland. The workshops, entitled 'The Injured Athlete' are in cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation. The one day workshop deals with the primary care Nielen, and Evelyn Magnusson. Nielen, who is the District Sales Manager for Hiram Walker Brands Limited, presented the trophy to the winning team. as the cruelest of all sports. People knew that hunting was threatened, but few suspected that fishing was under pressure as well"'. "It's clear now that animal rights threatens our entire society - they want to change our diet, our medical care, our recrea- tion.-We can't afford to wait until the public begins to respond to activists demands to become vegetarians. The time to act is now, and the O.F.A.H. will be working with other organizations to explain our own activities, and expose the real agenda of animal rights."
