C.A.S.H. – COMMITTEE TO ABOLISH SPORT HUNTING
The mission of C.A.S.H. – Committee to Abolish Sport Hunting – is to accomplish what its name says in the shortest possible time. We hope to encourage those who are still silent to speak out, awakening community after community about the heavy hand of state and federal wildlife management agencies. Where the natural feeling for wildlife doesn’t exist, we strive to engender among citizens outrage that their own rights are violated by legal hunting and that their quality-of-life diminished.
