I got this email from Kentucky Trapper's this morning. I'm a member of the site. Steve is the man who runs the site and he and Kraig Kaatz got emails from Janet Hodge to let them know what's going on. They shared with me, so I wanted to share with you all. If anyone has had ANY issue with an anti, I think someone of a higher authority should know.
I had a woman a week or so ago, she was over 6 feet tall and looked like an Amazon woman, give me grief over the coons I had in the back of my pickup at a convenience store parking lot. I unloaded on her, I gave her the facts about what we do and why we do it. She actually shutup and said, "Huh, I didn't realize that distemper and mange were such a problem." Maybe the worm has turned for Watusi woman, but I doubt it.
Steve,
I've copied an email I sent to Kraig Kaatz below to let you know what's
been transpiring with the anti's to this point. According to some of my
sources with NTA, this is getting out of hand. The president of another
state t.a. has had a fire set to his shed. So far, I have received
nothing more than a few emails, but it shouldn't take a computer genius
to figure out, sooner or later, that I'm also your webmaster. I would
recommend not leaving any important e-mails on your server . You might
also wish to do a quick daily check of your homepage to make sure you
haven't been hacked at any point. Also, it's important to keep your
virus protection up-to-date and your computer's firewall in place. Keep
a close eye on your forum.
If you notice anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to contact me.
Janet Hodge

Kraig,
This is to officially inform you, as president of the NTA, of the
receipt of e-mails to myself (prior to 'Fur Free Thanksgiving' and again
today) and to other officers (both past and present) of the West
Virginia Trappers Association from Gerald Hoffman, animal rights activist.
As you are aware, abundant information and photos have become available
to the public via www.negotiationisover.com who is well advertised as
being "an instrument of defiance, disruption, disobedience, subversion,
creative & aggressive grassroots action, and a catalyst for
revolutionary change."
This information also appears on their Facebook group page.
Although my contact information is incorrect on their Weak Links
brochure, they have corrected the information on their page
negotiationisover.com/2010/11/fur-free-friday-target-the-trappers-theyre-waiting-for-us/
Although that's a nice picture of a coyote, and I'd love to claim that
catch, it's not even one of mine!
Their information further states:
/"Our strategy has not gone unnoticed. Warnings are being circulated
throughout the online havens where the illiterate, bloodthirsty,
toothless backwoods knuckle-dragging redneck trash congregate.....
And the common denominator on these two forums and many other sites is
an alert being issued by the President of the West Virginia Trappers
Association."
/I understand the National Trappers Association is possibly involved
with the FBI regarding this and other terrorist acts of this type.
Please let me know what steps you wish us to take regarding these emails
and website articles. To my knowledge, none of our people who have been
directly affected to date, have replied to Mr. Hoffman or added any fuel
to the fire of the anti's.
I will await your direction, and that of the NTA, before taking any
steps in this matter.
Sincerely,
Janet Hodge
