Your Big Backyard magazine

[Guest guest]

Does anyone else to the National Wildlife Federation (NWF)

magazine called Your Big Backyard? It's for kids and mine love it. I

usually do as well, but this month it upset me. I have contacted the NWF

to express my concerns and I hope you will as well if you are a

r (or even if you are not).

 

This month they have two pages that I detest. One that has pictures of

little kids holding their " catch " of fish they have caught/killed. The

other is a tuna recipe in the back of the magazine. They don't usually

have such crap.

 

The problem is that here is the exact word for word mission of NWF (and

why I to this magazine and read it each month with my kids):

 

" National Wildlife Federation inspires Americans to protect wildlife for

our children's future. "

 

In no way does kids fishing and killing fish, and serving up tuna,

protect wildlife. They went against their own mission (and mine for

having the magazine). If you'd like to contact them to express your

concern you can send them an e-mail at: http://www.nwf.org/contact/

 

Thanks,

Jacqueline

Wild life organizations are not animal rights organizations. Thy goal is to keep

there numbers protected and not to end hunting and fishing. It also helps

preserve there habitats. We have a certificate from them certifying our property

as a natural habitat. I've never seen them as an animal rights organization.

Unita,

 

I never implied that NWF is an animal rights organization. I said their

mission is to protect wildlife and the magazine had pages in it that

were contrary to that. I realize they are not PETA or the HSUS...
