Breaking news: trophy hunters getting tax breaks (Humane Society)

Trophy hunters getting tax breaks!

 

 

An undercover investigation by The Humane Society of

the United States has revealed a brazen trophy hunting

tax scam.

 

As reported in Tuesday morning's Washington Post (free

registration required), some trophy hunters have been

financing their destructive hobby at taxpayers'

expense by " donating " their animal trophies to

pseudo-museums. The trophy hunter receives a sizable

tax write-off, and, as our investigators discovered,

the " museums " rarely display the donated trophies,

leaving them to collect dust in storage.

 

The astonishing result? Hunters can essentially

write-off, at taxpayers' expense, the entire cost of

traveling to a canned hunt in the United States—plus

killing, stuffing, mounting, and shipping his or her

animal trophy.

 

Congress is already investigating possible abuses in

how non-cash donations are appraised and donated to

nonprofits--animal trophies are a prime example of

this abuse. They need to hear from you on this issue.

 

Please click here to urge your members of Congress to

close the tax loophole for trophy hunters.
