Thread: Purchasing products from Forest & Bird Sponcers .

Rite now is a good time to publish the business that support Forest & Bird , these people need $ to function, already due to complaints countdown pulled there sponsorship , if you go to the Forest and bird website you can see the list :

After speaking to countdown they made it very clear in no way did they want to support any Tahr cull , The likes of kiwi camping should fully understand how important hunting is to us so don't hold back though be polite , I would imagine the thought of ending up on the no buy list of 48000+ hunters should pull some weight & hopefully some of the sponsors simply wont want to be implicated in the annihilation of an endangered species . I have sent a few e mails and await a response , same old story one or two emails wont cut it so take the time to contact them.Cheers.

Yea as it turns out last year they were running advertising with Forest & Bird , turns out after a number of complaints they have pulled out , that came from head office , I spoke to our local and they said they won’t even let them fund raise out the front

I messaged kiwicamping, no reply but my message was screenshotted and uploaded to Tahr hunters facebook page
I believe on your post Pete.
Heritage Expeditions on Forest and birds site is quoted as conserving species from extinction.i will be compiling another message now.

Aaahhhh

Forest and Bird .

“ The original , and still the worst “

I’m fairly laid back and believe that everyone has the right to their beliefs, but F**k me Twig and Tweet twist my nipples

Twig and tweet and the Minister of Destruction.

Luckily apart from Countdown I have never bought from any of those businesses and will continue to maintain that record.

I knew they did the advertising, notsomuch the fact they have dropped it. I sent an email off to them at the time but never heard back.
I hate to say that I have on occasion still gone there (some things are just cheaper) but done my best not to otherwise. It still felt wrong though
Sounds like I wasnt betraying myself so bad after all

It's a fine line to walk for a business with customers on "both sides". Solution is to drop controversial sponsorships, but on the quiet.

Anyone got a good standard letter to send to F&B sponsoring businesses?

This is good work guys lets keep this rolling, money screams and its the only way these co's that are supporting F&B will listen to us, iv sent a letter to a co that I buy from and am 100% not buying any of there gear until they disassociate.
