The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) has previously indicated that the nation’s largest anti-hunting group, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and other like-minded organizations are using religion as a way to spread their animal rights message.  A recent press release by the HSUS gives more evidence of this effort as they promote their “All Creatures” tour with 35 stops nationwide at music clubs and Christian universities.

The music tour is part of the HSUS faith outreach program asserting that religious values “call upon us to act in a kind and merciful way towards all creatures.”  The tour includes the MTV 2008 breakout artist of the year, the Myriad, and will include an HSUS produced video encouraging people to “consider their responsibilities to animals.”

The USSA has previously referred to how the anti’s have begun manipulating religion to advance a cause that is radically out of step with the majority of Americans and, certainly, America’s sportsmen.  This tour is a further example of the clever tactics being employed by those that seek to do away with American outdoor traditions.

According to Christine Gutleban, the director of the HSUS faith outreach program, “Music moves people, and combined with a cause, it has the power to transform hearts and minds and to spread the message of compassion and mercy for God's creatures."

The tour began September 29 in Washington D.C. and ends on October 26 in San Diego, California.
