It is nothing new that the anti-hunting, anti-rights, crowd target their subjects with personal attacks. Attacking someone who has spent a good portion of her life training to represent her country on the world stage makes their attacks even worse. The shooting sports community is rallying around Corey. The latest to come to her defense is the President of Safari Club International:
"As President of Safari Club International (SCI) I would like to express SCI's support for Olympic Trap Shooter and SCI Member, Corey Cogdell, who will represent the U.S. Shooting team tomorrow in London. While the anti-hunting community has recently scrutinized, and even threatened, Ms. Cogdell over images from an African hunt that she posted to a social media account, the images are a true depiction of how she continues to represent hunters across the globe, promoting species conservation in local communities, such as Africa. Ms. Cogdell is a positive role model for all American hunters and, again, SCI wishes her all the best in bringing home an Olympic medal."
VSSA shares SCI's opinion of Corey Cogdell and we wish her the best of luck as she competes along with Kim Rhode tomorrow in the Women's Trap Competition. You will be able to watch the Trap Finals live at 9:55 AM EDT on the Internet. We hope to see both Kim Rhode and Corey Cogdell make the Finals.

Which is why, heart, hunters are necessary, to manage the population of species so they do not become over populated and starve, which is cruel indeed.
