Microsoft supports the anti-hunting movement?

Microsoft, the software giant, will make a $100,000 donation to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and is partnering with the group on a pilot program called the i鈥檓 Initiative. Through the new program, whenever a Windows Live Messenger user has a conversation using i鈥檓, Microsoft will give a portion of the program鈥檚 advertising revenue to one of ten organizations selected by the user. The HSUS is one of the choices, and there is no limit to the amount of money that can be donated.

The U.S. Sportsmen鈥檚 Alliance, the nation鈥檚 leading sportsmen鈥檚 advocacy organization, has urged Microsoft to end its support of HSUS, but the company refused. According to Microsoft representative Tara Kriese, Microsoft believes the i鈥檓 Initiative is 鈥渁 great way to enable people to help causes that are important to them.鈥?br>Microsoft supports the anti-hunting movement?matchless

I think Microsoft doesn't so much give a damn about animals as they do about gun control. Remove the sport of hunting, and that's one less legitimate use the public has to own them.

They have, as have many other corporations and elitist private groups, siezed upon the idea that Hunting can be eliminated by playing upon the misplaced sympathies of liberal-minded city folk who know and understand nothing about wildlife conservation and hunting,or about how hunting and wildlife conservation walk hand-in-hand to protect and nurture our wild resources.
