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. Accor,
whose properties include Motel 6, Red Roof Inns and Studio 6, are
affordable motels utilized by many sportsmen while on hunting and
fishing trips. The Alliance encouraged sportsmen to contact
Accor to express their displeasure with the partnership and educate the
company about HSUS’s real agenda – to end all hunting, trapping and
other forms of animal use. “Accor’s decision to end its partnership with
HSUS proves that the sportsmen’s voice carries weight,” said U.S.
Sportsmen’s Alliance Vice President Rick Story.
“Hunters, trappers and anglers from across the country made a
point to contact Accor to help its administrators better understand
where a promotion of the Humane Society of the United States could lead. It will not lead to the salvation of millions of homeless
dogs and cats, but it could easily lead to the downfall of outdoor
traditions enjoyed by millions of sportsmen.” Sportsmen and sportswomen can thank Accor Economy Lodging for its decision by contacting George Le Mener, President and CEO, Accor Economy Lodging, P. O. Box 809092, Dallas, TX 75380-9092. CopyrightÓ U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance- www.ussportsmen.org
