I have never seen, in my 30 years of hunting in IA, that peta has hadany impact in my life. Fears that are planted in our hunters' heads from magazines, speakers at hunting events, and propaganda. One hunter says,"Beware, peta is going to get us. It is a chain reaction of fear. They have no clout with the lawmakers as they have nothing financially or beneficial to contribute to the economy. Pork consumption has not gone down due to a pie in a pork queens face or films showing pigs killed at a slaughter house. As stated by our state DNR on their website, "Hunting is the only viable way to keep animal populations in check."
Feel free to have your opinion though. It is a free country afterall, and good hunting to you.
