Get writing your own letters to those papers... It may seem silly to us when we read that but to the everyday joe who doesn't know any better it may get them thinking bad thoughts about hunting... Take a couple minutes and write something positive about the hunts and without ATTACKING the author of that last letter point out his misinformation... The press is a powerful weapon that we need to use more of in our favor... The antis are great at using it against us!!!!

I wonder how he voted in the last Presidential election?
" Can't fix stupid"
 
Perhaps this person should have been sitting in the tree stand with one of the hunters that hunts our property when 3 bears started circiling the tree.

Writing letters and spreading the truth is important, sadly I think it would be lost on close minded morons like this one.

I will write a letter ... I've had a few published in various newspapers.

But, the lies just keep on coming from the anti's. It was my letter that was published in the Daily Record the last time we were having this battle .... that humiliated Tvass, exposing that he is not a Professor, not on the faculty, but only a teaching assistant (a position normally taken by grad students). But, now ... he is calling himself a professor again. He's kind of a wack-job.

do you have 100% proof of this? I would LOVE to see it.
 
Come January, from what I understand, while the bears hibernate, their dens will be located  and the bear killled as it is sleeping. From what I heard about the previous hunt, cubs were also killed in their dens. ......
Sadly I know this man who actually is not a bad guy but God knows where he comes up with this kind of statement. Looks like I will have to have a talk with him and explain where the bear really is in the buckwheat. This kind of mis-information is what the antis feed on. It is very apparent that Al does not have a clue! You really showed your butt on this one Al. I hope after I have a little talk with him that even if he is still against a bear hunt that he will at least understand more of the FACTs and truth about the planned hunt and bear management in New Jersey.[down]:(

If he is still against the hunt after being showed facts then it is because of his own deliberate ignorance.

He's listed on Rutgers website as "part time lecturer"

Yes. He is not a Professor, Assistant Professor, or Associate Professor .... http://rutchem.rutgers.edu/faculty

Not a Research Professor ... http://rutchem.rutgers.edu/research_professors

Not a member of the Research Staff ... http://rutchem.rutgers.edu/research_professors

He is a teaching assistant .... he helps freshman students with their homework, etc in the weekly recitation session. He is the Professor's lapdog. A least when I was at Rutgers, a job normally taken by grad students to help pay for their tuition.

Any type of Professorship, especially at a large research institution like Rutgers, is a big achievement. Tavss is nothing .. he knows it ... but he lies (mentally unstable ???) (makes up things like he did for the anti's ??)

I put all of these things in my letter published in the Daily Record. He wrote a letter after mine ... he did not dispute anything I said, instead he spoke of his work at the tooth paste factory.

Here is transcript of an somewhat obnoxious Tavss at a New Jersey Senate/Assembly meeting, trying to get NJ State Health Benefits because he and his wife have no health benefits. I don't know what caused him to leave his position at Colgate to come to Rutgers to be a t/a for $8000 a year, with no benefits. Did he get fired from Colgate? Because he is an obnoxious nut case?
We’re going to move on with some other persons.

MS. THOMPSON: Can Ed say something, or not?

SENATOR MARTIN: I’ll give him one minute. You got one

minute, Ed, and I’m serious.

Go.

E D T A V S S, Ph.D.: I was waiting to speak for half an hour.

SENATOR MARTIN: Ed, you’re going to tick me off, now,

because we’re trying to get a bunch of folks in here. You can wait. We will hear

you at a different time. We have a very complicated schedule today. The fact

that you’re even up here-- Don’t do this to me. Okay? We got a bunch of

other people who, also, want to -- here, and they want to monopolize a lot of

time. So you have one minute. Make your best shot.

DR. TAVSS: I understand. Okay. Thank you.

Let me try to be brief. I got my Ph.D. about 30 years ago from

Rutgers University. I wanted to teach at that time. I couldn’t find a teaching

position. I worked for industry. I worked for Colgate-Palmolive Company for

28 years. I loved that. I did very well. And then I had an opportunity to come

back to teach at Rutgers University. I grabbed this opportunity. It was

wonderful. I love it, but there are some issues. One of the issues is the salary.

I work the same way as I worked at Colgate, about 70 hours a week, but my

salary is about $8,000. In terms of performance for pay, there’s an inequity

there. So I just wanted to bring that to your attention.

The second issue is fringe benefits, in particular health benefits. I

was covered when I worked for Colgate, now I’m covered under my wife’s

policy. She’s going to retire. It seems reasonable that a person who works as

hard as I do, who puts in 70 hours a week, whose students do extremely well,

should receive health benefits -- at least just for us to be covered under the

program that the -- under the State plan of benefits. That’s all that I ask for.

I, as a part-time lecturer, would be willing to pay. I don’t ask the State to pay,

but at least we should be covered under the State Health Plan.

Thank you.

Seemingly, he is well liked by the students he helps. At "rate my professor," kids speak well of him....calling him a great teaching assitant (he is giving them too much info before the exams (cheating), to make himself look better?) .....
I was shocked with amazement how effect a TA can be, deserves to be the teacher.
he's the man! seriously, with all the help he gives you, ANYONE should be able to get an A. by far the most involved recitation instructor i've ever had/heard of at Rutgers
.
