ARTICLE from the Summer 2007 Issue
Deer Ride Has Got To Go
C.A.S.H./WILDLIFE WATCH
was contacted by a number of people regarding a toy called “Deer Ride”.
It is described as having a dead buck tied across the front of the hood
and the buck sings to music. It’s aimed at 6-year-olds.
We wrote and called
Walgreen’s, and was told that they considered it to be a harmless toy, and
would let it run out of stock and then not renew the order for them. As we
were going to print, we received a call from someone in Key West that they
were back on the shelf again Please contact Walgreen Co. 200 Wilmot Road,
Deerfield, IL 60015 or visit their website www.walgreens.com and ask them to
remove the toys.
Another member, Carol
Ames, was also shocked by it and sent the following letter to Walgreens:
“It mocks animal suffering
and death.” She added, “In the light of all the recent school killings in
the news, I don’t think toys that make light of humanity’s propensities
toward violence against other animals send acceptable messages to children
of any age.”
Walgreen’s response was
that the hunters looked stupid. We agree, but feel this should be removed
from their shelves. Perhaps they would like to carry the C.A.S.H. Courier
instead!

Here’s an
e-mail to C.A.S.H. from an
upstanding member of the U.S. Army –
Hope some young kids breaks in your house & steals all your
stuff & does some really bad things.They could be hunting & fishing
in the woods not bothering anything.But you crazy people just don’t
get it.
