What is WSPA? Usually popups are not affiliated with the actual website, but are a bug in your computer. I am not seeing them anywhere on this website.

Are you seeing them as ads embedded in this website or as popups? The popups are NOT associated with this website, they are a function of your computers inability to block them.
I have yet to see an ad like you are describing, but my computer blocks pop ups.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-25-10 AT 08:30AM (MST)[p]My apologies for using the term Pop Ups, they are actually imbedded side bar ads in the website itself. I have notified Brian of the concerns. They are very much affiliated with the HSUS. WSPA stands for World Society for the Protection of animals. If you Google them you can ind many atricles where they are encouraging folks to protest upcoming Bear Hunts in New jersey( at the time) Etc. Strange that they would want to pay to advertise on a site such as this, wonder what their Agenda truely is?????

I don't anything about this organization, but I trust that WAPITI39 does. The ads are feed through an ad network. Anyway, I have turned them off. Can't be helping an outfit that is behind Anti-Hunting. They should all stop appearing by the end of today. Hopefully they don't come up again after that, but if they do, email me. It's possible that it could be reissued and reinstated. There's no way for me to automatically exclude them. I have to do it manually. There are hundreds of advertisers who deliver ads to MM through that network.
Anyway, if you see them again, email me and I will turn them off. If it happens to much, I will contact the ad company.
PS - Was anyone out there turned Anti-Hunter because of the ads on the site here? LOL
If so, we'll have an intervention and take you to shoot something.
Thanks,

I think its sad that these people spend much of the money that is donated to "protect abused animals" to try to stop hunting and hunters. I read that 1 penny from every dollar that the Humane Society gets goes to rescue abused horses and dogs and the other 99 goes toward paying staff, advertising against the Beef industry and hunting etc.
Shame on them for misleading well meaning people.

Here you go- Right off their own website:
WSPA?s work is focused on four priority animal welfare areas:
Companion animals ? responsible pet ownership, humane stray management and cruelty prevention.
Commercial exploitation of wildlife ? intensive farming and the cruel management and killing of wild animals for food or by-products.
Farm animals ? intensive farming, long distance transport and slaughter of animals for food.
Disaster management ? providing care to animals suffering as a result of man-made or natural disasters, and thereby protecting people?s livelihoods.
