Antifreeze Producer Promotes Anti-Hunting Group, Leaves Sportsmen in the Cold
Outdoors Magazine
Cold- (10/23)
National
As winter approaches and people begin to prepare their vehicles for
the cold weather, the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance wants to alert sportsmen
that getting a good deal on PEAK and SIERRA brands of antifreeze and deicer
could jeopardize America's hunting heritage.
A rebate offered with the purchase of assorted PEAK Performance
Products will credit buyers $1 to $2 per gallon of product. A section on
the rebate form allows consumers to donate their rebate to the American
Humane Association (AHA).
The AHA opposes all hunting and trapping. This year, it demonstrated
its opposition to outdoor sports by supporting federal legislation, HR 1472,
to ban bear hunting over bait. It called the practice "unsporting,
unethical, and barbaric." It also supports Congressional legislation, HB
1800, to ban trapping.
Take Action! Sportsmen should contact Old World Industries, Inc., the
company that produces PEAK and SIERRA antifreezes. Tell the company that
its promotion of the AHA, an anti-hunting organization, is unacceptable to
sportsmen across the nation and should be stopped immediately. Make sure
Old World Industries knows that the AHA has an agenda to end America's
outdoor heritage, thus destroying over 100 years of wildlife conservation
practices. Send your comments to Mr. James Bryan, President, Old World
Industries, Inc., 4065 Commercial Ave., Northbrook, IL 60062. Phone: (847)
559-2000. Toll Free (800) 323-5440. Fax (847) 559-2266.
Keep in mind that the best way to make an impression is to send
messages using telephone or fax machine. Phones ringing off the hook and
busy fax machines make poignant statements.

Subject: Message from SIERRA Antifreeze
It has recently come to our attention that the hunting community is upset
about one of our company's products, Sierra antifreeze, which has a
sponsorship with the American Humane Association (AHA). Our intention with
getting involved with the AHA several years ago, was to bring awareness to
families of pets and children about a safer antifreeze, Sierra, due to it's
less toxic nature vs. conventional ethylene glycol based antifreeze. Every
year approximately 100,000 pets/animals die from ingesting conventional
antifreeze off of garage floors and driveways. The objective was awareness
of a safer solution to this, not to alienate the hunting and outdoorsman
community. Unknown to us, the AHA has apparently taken some active stances
against certain rights of hunters. Upon hearing this, we have made a
decision to sever our sponsorship with the AHA. Thank you for bringing
this to our attention and we hope you'll continue to support Old World
Industries products like Sierra antifreeze and other PEAK performance
products.
Sincerely,
Ed

ingesting antifreeze each year. Do you think it's possible?
I would suggest to consumers that they take better care of what they do
with their old and new antifreeze. I just can't see their stats actually
happening unintentionally. Maybe it's strategy to market their products?
Not to mention that it says it's less toxic... that doesn't mean that it
isn't toxic.
Anyhow, don't mean to open a new can of worms but I think that if you
dig a little deeper you might see a little more to it all.

really care too, too much. We all need antifreeze and I for one do not want
my purchase contributing to a group that is working to end trapping and
hunting.

dogs or animals. I just find their stats a little high let alone odd. If
the numbers are that high then why don't we hear about it through the
humaine society up here in Canada? They certainly let us know about
everything else. If the numbers are that high.. then there must be alot
of leaking cooling systems on cars... I mean systems that are just
puking it out...It sounds to me like someone is dummying up numbers. I
know alot of farmers and they use normal antifreeze. I've yet to see
puddles on their farms either... so where is all this antifreeze coming
from that's killing all those animals??????????
Let's not forget that they say 100,000 PETS... a year...
Like I said the first time.... doesn't seem right to me..
