In its statement today, organizer Reed Exhibitions said that the whole show, which includes fishing and camping exhibits, "could not be held because the atmosphere of this year's show would not be conducive to an event that is designed to provide family enjoyment. It is unfortunate that in the current emotionally charged atmosphere this celebratory event has become overshadowed by a decision that directly affected a small percentage of more than 1,000 exhibits showcasing products and services for those interested in hunting and fishing."

So in other words its not their fault. Blame the boycotters for ruining it for everybody. Nice try to drive a wedge but I think the "fishing" and "camping" communities stand in solidarity with the hunting and shooting communities.
