Default PETA: Expert In Marine Biology, Not So Good In Geography

PETA seeks statewide king fishing ban

Quote:
In a move sure to evoke derision in this fishing state, the animal rights organization PETA has asked Gov. Frank Murkowski to stop all Alaska fishing for king salmon.

PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, faxed a letter to Murkowski on Friday, claiming that recent studies show fish to be "intelligent animals who feel pain."
Quote:
The governor's press secretary, Becky Hultberg, seemed somewhat incredulous. She said PETA had addressed the letter to Murkowski, "Governor of Alabama."
Quote:
Hultberg said PETA had less than a zero chance persuading Murkowski.

"We'd like to see more king salmon on the dinner plates of people on the East Coast," she said. "This clearly shows how out of touch this organization is with the people of Alaska."
I know this campaign is old news, but I just can't help but feel some smug satisfaction that they're getting better at shooting themselves in the foot. If PETA wants people to buy into their extremism, the least they could do is use those people's proper titles. And not suggest measures that would destroy economies, too.

Ah, the nuts get nuttier.

I would like to tell PETA how delicious my roasted salmon was on Saturday night at the corral reef restaurant. There is a salmon running around somewhere with a big chunk taken out of him !!

That's classic! I'll go to the store and buy some salmon to that!
