RE: Peak antifreeze supports anti-hunters
This is a email that Peak is sending out regarding the rebate.
It has recently come to our attention that the hunting community is upset about one of our company’s products, Sierra antifreeze, which has a sponsorship with the American Humane Association (AHA). Our intention with getting involved with the AHA several years ago, was to bring awareness to families of pets and children about a safer antifreeze, Sierra, due to it’s less toxic nature vs. conventional ethylene glycol based antifreeze. Every year approximately 100,000 pets/animals die from ingesting conventional antifreeze off of garage floors and driveways. The objective was awareness of a safer solution to this, not to alienate the hunting and outdoorsman community. Unknown to us, the AHA has apparently taken some active stances against certain rights of hunters. Upon hearing this, we have made a decision to sever our sponsorship with the AHA. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope you’ll continue to support Old World Industries products like Sierra antifreeze and other PEAK performance products.
Sincerely, Sierra Antifreeze

I live in trout country. As more people move in, more crap goes into the rivers an' streams ' round here. I use Lo-Tox antifreeze, an' think everbody ought to. We only got one world, an' a hell of a lot of buttholes thet need wipin' ever day. Thet antifreeze stuff is ' bout as bad as anythin' out there. Double bad cause of all the poor stock thet poors it down storm drains or unner bushes. Ain' t nuthin' wrong with sportsmen bein' conservationists. Nuthin' at all wrong with a a company makin' a safer product.

Yes Lo tox antifreeze is good and we should all use it, blah, blah, blah. Ok so back to the point of the original post. It looks like Peak was inadvertantly supporting anti-hunters and once finding this fact out they severed ties with them. Good job to you guys who brought it up and actually took the time to write thier company. From now on I' m only buying peak antifreeze. Thier lo tox formula of course.
