Global Television Cancels Hunting Shows from it's 2013 line-up

It is with great sadness that we announce the very unfortunate decision by Global Television/Shaw Media to cancel all hunting shows on Global and the Shaw affiliate networks.
Canada in the Rough™ has been airing for 8 years on Global Television and we've had a tremendous experience doing it. We want to thank all of you for your support throughout the years and as much as we hate to say goodbye, we have no choice. Canada in the Rough™, Canada's most-watched hunting show, will be pulled off Global Television after December 30, 2012.

Our hunting heritage is under constant attack by those who have forgotten that hunting is at the root of human existence and still the most valuable and effective tool in wildlife management.

If you wish to share your thoughts with Global regarding this decision, please email [e-mail] as well as [e-mail] and [e-mail] or call 1-877-307-1999.

Please remember to enjoy the greatness of Canada and be proud of your hunting heritage.

Sincerely,
Keith Beasley, Paul Beasley & Kevin Beasley
Executive Producers

That really sucks , here is a copy of the letter i sent :

Hello ,
just wanted to express my utter disappointment in global television . I have just read that a decision by Global Television/Shaw Media to cancel all hunting shows on Global and the Shaw affiliate networks. I ask as to how this decision was made . As somone in rural canada , i look forward to seeing hunting shows as hunting is a
very important part of canada's history and culture . It is a sad fact that most of today's youth has lost the connection of where food comes from , maybe even some of your executives. Hunting is a lifestyle choice no different than any other activity such as golf , sports or heck even playing a musical instrument . As a rural Canadian who has decided to gather some of my own food by hunting , I am at a loss for a reason why you have dropped hunting shows in general and in particular award wining shows such as " Canada in the Rough" .
I am afraid that this is just one more example of how the urban centers with their fear and lack of knowledge regarding firearms has dictated a policy .

disgusted with global/shaw

You know that pisses me off to say it mildly,Im try to find some comfort here as i put me back out and went flippin thru the channels and you know i can find fishin shows but huntin shows good luck unless you subscribe to the wild channel ....

They do relize this dont they ,when food runs out and the end of days are apon us ,who will they turn to for protection and food.....the movie THE ROAD ,should be in the back of everyones mind when talking about the end of days....be it meteor or some other disaster...

they do know that this country `s foundation was based on the fur trade ,and hunting and trapping has got our country where it is today,weather they want to admit that us bloodthirsty decendants of hunter gathers of the acient ages have survived by being at the top of the food chain .Veggies can only get you so far ,they will keep you fit and trim and lite so as the bear that drags you off to feed its cubs doesnt have to strain its self to much .besides there seems to be more veggy folks lately to help feed the bears...lol`s

I gotta go lie down and take another pill ,im sore and getting wacky thoughts in my head...maybe its the pain pills.......lol
