Censored! Cabela's hometown paper now refuses to run ad on wolf killing
Rodger Schlickeisen, Defenders of Wildlife
That’s why, with your help, we’re upping the ante -- alerting the media and running our ad in two other newspapers: the larger Lincoln Journal Star and The Kearney Hub (hometown newspaper for one of the three Cabela’s store locations in Nebraska).
More than 112, 000 caring Defenders supporters have already sent messages urging Cabela’s to stop sponsoring “predator derbies” that target wolves, many sharing powerful messages.
I’ve been particularly moved by the courageous and imaginative ways that Defenders like you are personally fighting to end corporate-sponsored wolf killing. Here are just two examples:
-
Last weekend, one Defenders supporter produced flyers about Cabela’s' deadly policy and handed them out in the parking lot of his local Cabela’s store in Portland, Maine. And this Saturday, he is organizing a protest outside that same store.
-
Another supporter ripped off the label of her Cabela’s jeans and mailed it back to the company. She also donated all her Cabela’s-labeled equipment to Goodwill (without the labels).
We’re getting the word out about Cabela’s sponsorship of wolf killing and how its funds are being used to block restoration of life-saving federal protections for wolves.
We’re taking on corporate-sponsored wolf killing. And -- with your help -- I know we can end it.
For the Wild Ones,

Don’t Let Them Silence Us
Our ad calling for an end to corporate-sponsored wolf-killing was rejected by Cabela’s’ hometown newspaper in Sidney, Nebraska. Will you help run it in The Lincoln Journal Star and The Kearney Hub?
Help run our new full-page color ad and save the lives of wolves and other wildlife.
With your help, we will run our hard-hitting ad in the Kearney newspaper tomorrow and in the Lincoln paper next Wednesday
