Camping World has pulled their advertising from Celebrity Apprentice based on Trump's sons recent LEGAL hunt in Africa. CW asserts it was unethical and illegal and they took endangered species.

 

Email sent Camping World from another forum:

 

Dear Camping World Leadership...

I just heard you have made the decision to stop sponsoring a TV show (Celebrity Apprentice) because the star of the show has a grown son that legally hunted game in Africa and furthermore your company is spreading blatant untruths that the game was endangered. Your fact finding efforts before making your decision is appalling and unprofessional. Your company has made a ridiculous and detrimental decision. So therefore you have made your stance, we will be making ours. From now on, I nor none of my family will be patronizing your establishments, nor your online stores. As a matter of fact I am an RV'er also and club member of several RV organizations with thousands of members, (one of which is the Good Sam Club among others). My fellow sportsmen and RV'ers plan on communicating your actions over many websites and spread the word over the internet. Your company not supporting sportsman, is a decision not to support the very group that is responsible for the best wildlife recovery and wildlife habitat success story the world has ever known. I sincerely hope your leadership will reconsider their hasty decision and publicly offer a formal apology. That is the only way your company will ever get it's respect and good name back. Think about it. Do you really want to wear this kind of distasteful reputation with the public ?

Who spends more money to keep wildlife and our worlds forests and preserves running who contributes more to conservation world wide hunters and fishermen without us where would outdoor recration be think about most money spent by anti hunting groups are used to spread lies not fact ive sent my email and am going to spread the word our hunting money helps the outdoors to florish not vanish i dont like the fact they think hunters are blood thirsty killers mindlessly shooting at anything that moves which is far from the truth hunting is a way of life not a bloodbath most of us will give the shirt off our backs to help just remember poeple who hunt and fish dont have time to steal and rob little old ladies .

I agree, we all need to write. Please keep to the facts and not start slinging insults or name calling. Honestly, it never goes anywhere in these types of things. But, stating facts and your support goes a LONG way. Keep hammering this guy. If you follow Don Jr. on Twitter it's been great. He is sticking to his 'guns' and stating the facts to all of the anti's and it's awesome to watch them back down.

You guys should check out the FB page today. Some lady cannot grasp the fact that these animals were hunted LEGALLy and people are letting her know. The CEO Lemonis issues a statement yesterday 'retracting' his comments, but he is only doing damage control. He NEVER spologized and hunters comments are still being deleted off of FB. The Nuge embraced his faux-apology, but I still call BS. Until he offers a public apology on his FB and leaves the comments up I won't believe it.
