An Inappropriate Photograph
December 8, 2005
To the Editor:
I have been a longtime subscriber to The Chronicle of Philanthropy and a development director for nonprofits for more than 20 years. I strongly object to the photograph you ran of Jeff Trandahl of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (People, November 10), smiling over the carcass of a magnificent moose, holding the animal’s rack as one would a trophy. As a non-hunter and supporter of wildlife I object and think the picture was totally inappropriate for a professional newspaper.
