Many will remember the Peak anitfreeze agreement with AHA & emails several of us sent.

Antifreeze Producer Warms Up to Sportsmen - 10/31/2003
Antifreeze Producer Warms Up to Sportsmen
(Columbus) – A leading antifreeze producer, after receiving a flood of contacts from sportsmen for partnering with an anti-hunting organization, has ended the agreement.
In a letter to the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, Old World Industries, Inc., the company that makes PEAK and SIERRA antifreezes, said that they “made a decision to sever our sponsorship with the American Humane Association (AHA),” an organization that opposes all hunting and trapping. Old World Industries had been running a rebate promotion that allowed consumers to donate their refund to the AHA. Sportsmen nationwide were furious about the sponsorship and flooded the company with phone calls, faxes and letters in opposition.
PEAK Product Manager Ed Powderly stated that the sponsorship was not intended “to alienate the hunting and outdoorsman community.” He said Old World Industries was unaware of the stances AHA had taken against sportsmen’s rights.
The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance and other sportsmen’s groups, including the Southeast Michigan Bowhunters Chapter of Safari Club International, called outdoorsmen to take action and inform Old World Industries about the true agenda of the AHA.
U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance President Bud Pidgeon said, “All sportsmen who were motivated to grassroots action to preserve their hunting heritage are to be applauded.”
Sportsmen can thank Old World Industries, Inc. for listening to the common sense messages of sportsmen by writing 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.
