OBITUARIES

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, October 1992:
Luke Dommer, 62, died of cancer
August 18 in West Haven, Connecticut. A
motorcycle-riding ex-Marine, Dommer chal-
lenged macho stereotypes as a graphic artist by
trade, wildlife rehabilitator by avocation, out-
spoken opponent of hunting by calling. In
1975 Dommer founded the 5,000-member
Committee to Abolish Sport Hunting with $12
worth of pamphlets. CASH achievements
included winning the right to protest against
hunting at the Great Swamp National Wildlife
Refuge via lawsuit in 1979, and persuading the
Interstate Palisades Park Commission to halt
deer hunting in Harriman State Park, N.Y., in
1984.
