Default RE: My buddies at PETA...

I believe I said I would like to see the correspondence between both of you. I would like to see what was said both ways. It is hard to say one way or another if I don't know what was said to you and how you responded. However from the small amount of text you have posted it doesn't look very impressive to me.

Not all PETA members are crazed lunatics, some are pretty smart, fairly normal people that just have a passion for animals and want to do what they can for them. My brother was going to join PETA, I talked him out of it.

While I haven't gotten any PETA members to take up hunting or anything I have managed to get a few people to quit PETA and made them realize what bad entity it was. A lot of people just don't know what they (peta) really want, when they find out the agenda and how they go about it they see the light most of the time.

I would venture to say the majority of people in PETA are pretty decent people, they just love animals. But there are enough whacked out extremists in the organization to make everyone look bad.

Same thing happens with us. When you say hunter many people think of the stereo typical hick that grabs his high powered rifle the morning of deer season and wanders through the woods shooting at anything that moves. Many don't even know you can't use a rifle where I live.

I have never converted someone that is against hunting into a hunter, but I have made them more tolerant of it and let them see why we do it. They still don't like it, but they don't loath those that do it anymore. And I have gotten a few that were on the fence about it to actually try it. I used to be that way. Didn't have anything against hunting, but had no desire to do it. Now I actually enjoy it. And it was because of one person that was passionate about hunting and took the time to explain things and introduce me to it. Not someone that was rude to me and attacked my opinions and personal beliefs.

I'm serious, if you can I would like to see the Emails or whatever between the two of you. Or give their ID and maybe some of us can talk to them as well. Maybe they are completely whacked out and you were justified in saying what you did. Doesn't make it right, but I can understand. I have said my fair share of things I wish I hadn't of. Right VA
