You are correct, sir. They are doing themselves in. They don't know what they want. One of their best spokesmen, Brad Pitt, made a pile of money glamorizing fly fishing ("A River Runs Through It"). If you really believe fish have feelings, can you think of a more cruel way to kill them? Or worse yet, to not kill them?

PETAboasts more than a million members worldwide. US F & W estimates about 13 million US hunters in only one year. That doesn't count hunters under 16, or hunters that just didn't hunt in that year (2001). BTW their next survey is this year. The wild Turkey Federation figures that this means there are about 26 million US hunters.

Hunters and fishers are not going away anytime soon. That doesn't mean we need to keep being vigilant about defending our way of life, but I'm not worried.

PETA wasn't even all that bad, if they would have stuck to what they started off with. I am people, and I am against cruelty to animals. Nobody on this site wants to see animals abused.

Maybe we should all join. If only one in 20 hunters joined PETA, we would outnumber all the present members. We could support ethical treatment of animals. Ethical bag limits, ethical shot placement, ethical game management (wolf hunting), ethical consumption of what we kill, and tasty recipes.

Nah!
