Dear SCI Members,
As you know from previous emails, the recent movie “Trophy” contains segments that attack our sport and our way of life. The film was shown at select theaters across the country last September and received mixed reviews, which can be seen here. One of these reviews includes the producers’ admission that: “We really wanted to shame the industry,” which illustrates their obvious bias. While the film makes the occasional concession to the truth that hunting is a critical cornerstone of conservation in Africa, the movie on balance is nonetheless an anti-hunting propaganda piece. While original viewership of the film was very small, we have learned that CNN will air the film on Sunday, January 14 at 9:00 PM EST. We expect viewership of the film to continue to be very small, but wanted to inform you that we are prepared for all outcomes. If you or someone else from your chapter is contacted by the media requesting an interview or comment on the film, we ask that you contact our public relations team at scipr@theheraldgroup.com or call 202-617-3008 immediately. Our team will respond accordingly to the request. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Rick Parsons CEO Safari Club International

Even if we have a Trump win, we will have to fight the Californian bill on the iconic African species protection act whenever it comes to the fore again. If passed, this will have a domino effect if on other states
