ICABS membership

ligertigon

Don't mean to cause any agro here but..
I tried to join ICABS...
I have issues with animal cruelty like many on here and I also don't shoot for sport, I shoot for food.
Anyway, I explained all this and my interest in membership against animal cruelty, but alas, they are not interested.
So does this mean all non vegetarians are denied membership from this body?

Or should I have just not bothered?

Not a bad idea.
If enough of us joined and turned up at the AGM it could be amusing

Their definition of animal cruelty is incompatible with yours/ours.

Yes, seems to be the case. Perhaps another animal cruelty organisation is needed, one that welcomes hunters, cause its no different to anyone else that eats meat killed for them by someone else.

Just had a look at their website. And as someone who would be against the hunting of foxes with hounds, I have to say that these people are a pack of sensationalist morons. They're no better than those nut jobs who protest on O'Connell street in Dublin, shoving placards with pictures of abortions in everyones face. They do themselves no favours. GTFO of my face!

Its their 50th birthday this year as well.
Great achivements sofar of ICABS can be written on the back of a postage stamp with room to spare.:p
By and large they are a bunch of fustrated old dears more concerned with letter writing and getting any old media attention they can. The danger is they have some right crackpots that belong to more sinister and dangerous organisations like NARA or Assoc Hunt Sabs who pal around with former bomb makers both from the Loyalist community and who have done some" bird " in the UK and now lecture in our universities. in their members as they cross pollinate between their minority groups.
Not to mind two of ICABS former PR offices had brushes with the law.One for suspected arson and sabatage and the other for public order offences.
One former member of the UK LACS did try to set up a middle of the road anti organisation a few years ago.But it got nowhere as the antis literally hounded him out of the UK as a traitor and sell out.

Well, my scope I tried to sell was pulled by donedeal. I wrote to them, and they said no items associated with firearms are allowed for sale. I believe donedeal were lobbied by them.... so their "achievements" are more than you imagine.

They're all the same. Authorize.net/Visa done the same in America. Refused to allow transactions associated with gun sales. Never kept up with how that turned out, but the NRA released a statement to boycott the use of them. Thats 3 million people not using that product.

My point is these firms can take all the moral high ground they, but in the end they'll bend to the almighty Dollar/Pound/Euro.

At the time, I told the chap on dd that there were other adverts for scopes and why was mine the only one pulled... next day, all scope adds were gone.

I even suggested to donedeal, that the scope was not exclusively made for a rifle and could be used as a nature spotter etc, and could I relist as such without any firearm connotations, but alas they politely refused.

I think they have an algorithm so certain words or pairs,groups of words get flagged when an advert is placed, so rifle /scope/sights is obviously on the list..

Odd that they didnt pull my night scope advert then...So lets add their achivements then in 50 years.Banned stag hunting with hounds. Muzzled coursing greyhounds..Got shooting mags in Easons on the "top shelf"alongside with the titty mags.[All of about 4foot off the ground in my local Easons].And confused Done deal on what they might or might not sell,as well as hounding the odd celeb chef for posing with a few pheasents on her car bonnet.....Considering they had a Green minister who was one of their" presidents".A current serving president who was another "president" Two current Trotties in the Dail who shreik occasionaly on animal rights issues,and God alone knows how many media pesonalities and entertainers supporting them.......Maybe in another 50 years they will be a real threat to us.
PS sell the scope here for free on boards.ie or buy and sell.ie

Had a look through the net. Turns out it wasn't Mastercard, but it was authorise.net, which is owned by Visa. Authorize.net are about the biggest online payment gateway. They are the default gateway for software I use actually. Seems mad what they did in the states alright.

Knew it was one of them.

Same as Ebay,realised how much they were losing by not allowing gun parts and knive sales to go thru.Money talks, anti gun/hunting BS WALKS.

Cass

Well we know that, but it takes the others a little time to cop on.

I mean the CEO of these companies can stand proud on his morals, but when he realises the hemp brigade don't spend money (it being the core of all evil and even if they did not on capitalist pigs products) whereas shooters/hunters spends hundreds of millions a year they soon change their tone.
