The trade organization for the firearms industry is calling for a boycott of Texas-based Tito’s vodka over the brand’s support for the Humane Society of the United States.
“Hunters & sportsmen shld boycott Tito’s for supporting anti-hunting HSUS See their website” noted Lawrence G. Keane, National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice president and general counsel on social media followed up with “Hey @TitosVodka I am pouring my bottle down the drain bc of your support for anti-hunting HSUS Won’t buy u again.”

As detailed on the company’s site for the event, donations for prizes ranging from $10 to $10,000 enter participants in a chance to win a trip to the celebration in Austin next month as well as tickets to the Euphoria Music Festival,”and all proceeds support The Humane Society of the United States.”
Prizes range from dog leashes and bowls to smokers and private tours of wildlife rescue centers and rehab facilities.
