Chickory Wood Products

Dear Friends,

I am sad to say there is yet another paddle maker in the US!! Chickory Wood Products of Wisconsin is making and selling these child-beating implements: Chickory Wood Products Please write to them at: sales@chickorywoodproducts.com Here is a sample letter:

Dear Chickory Wood Products,

Please stop selling "paddles" for beating children. To sell these paddles only encourages a mentality of beating children and condoning gross child abuse, injury, and death. I am boycotting your company and advising others to do so until you stop selling these child-beating implements.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
(Your Name)

Thank you for writing them!! And please pass this email on to others!!

What is it about paddles anyway? They are more brutal than "The Rod" yet they seem more accepted by society. Is it because "paddles" are still used in some US schools? It's so tragic, and senseless.

Thank you for caring about children.

Note: The paddles come in a variety of sizes, including the smallest which is meant for children under 6. Disgusting.
