TheDay.com, New London, CT: "The New York Times published this editorial on Monday, April 11:
All the cunning of human nature at finding holes in the tax code was on display at a Senate hearing last week in the form of the mounted head of an African springbok � a bounding creature so delicate in life, so valuable in death as a charity write-off. The animal was a compelling Exhibit A as officials described how sportsmen and their accountants chisel the tax code with high-powered rifles.
Hunters underwrite exotic vacations by claiming deductions for trophy game, overgenerously appraised as charity donations for questionable �museums.� �Hunt for Free,� advertises one purveyor of this growing abuse. �We'll suggest what extra animals to take and donate for tax savings.�"
