(Columbus) A national hotel chain has responded to a flood of calls and letters from sportsmen by discontinuing its partnership with the nation’s largest animal rights group.

According to a recent letter to U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance staff from Accor Economy Lodging, the relationship between it and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) will come to an end on December 31, 2002 and will not be renewed for 2003.

In May, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, a national sportsmen advocacy organization, discovered the relationship between Accor Economy Lodging and HSUS, the country’s largest anti-hunting organization.

Darn. I didn't even know they supported that group. I am a big motel 6 fan too. Generally they have had some of the cleanest rooms I have stayed in.

Hunters and fishers spend billions each year on travel to get to the places to hunt and fish and then staying there.

It is time we start pounding these anti hunting and fishing whackos!

"Darn. I didn't even know they supported that group. "

I am not going to stay in their places in the future. They must be stupid to not know that would alienate a large part of their customers.
