DO NOT HOST SAFARI CLUB INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FEB 26-27, 2016
The Issue
MN Marriott Northwest, DO NOT host the Safari Club International Convention Feb 26-27 , 2016. SCI is a pro-hunting organization that is the largest proponent of African trophy hunting under the guise of wildlife conservation and nonprofit standing. They manage to maintain a 501(c)(3) status that allows for tax deductions and exemptions while using animal trophies as their crowning achievement. SCI urges members to compete for the largest and best representation of the animal species to kill in order to add to their notorious record book while promoting canned hunting and encouraging members to advance to levels in big game hunting; all African Five would record a hunters name in their book as completing the "Grand
Slam". Safari Club International has among it's member unethical hunters and poachers such as the infamous WALTER PALMER who illegally lured and poached Cecil the Lion of Zimbabwe out of his protected Hwange National Park in July of 2015.
MN Marriott trophy hunting is an archaic sport that is supported by fewer people every year. Statistics show that Americans are against trophy hunting two to one, and at least 64% favor restrictions on all hunting.
Safari Club International claims to promote conservation by hunting, however the facts prove otherwise. In fact all of the "BIG 5" are on the endangered or threatened species list. By supporting Safari Club International you are supporting the slaughter of the last of our elephants, lions, rhinos, leopards, and water buffalo. Safari Club International also claims that they are aiding poor African communities through hunting, when actually only 3% of the millions of dollars generated by Safari Club International ever trickles down to these communities.
Minnesota Marriott do not host a convention that the majority of American people do not support. Do not align your business with bloodthirsty poachers such as Walter Palmer. Cancel your hosting of Safari Club International Convention Feb 26-27, 2016.
