i got to talk to a "P.E.T.A." this weekend !!!VERY FUNNY!!!
i spent the weekend knocking doors. i had one person who had a lot of great hunting ground on my list. after meeting her at the door and introducing myself in a kind manner and talking about a hunting management program, she interrupted me to say "i hate hunters". that pretty much depicted the whole conversation after that point as we debated for almost an hour. i wanted to hear her side and understand what exactly she hates about us. after 1 hour i couldn't find a single logical conclusion to her rant that made any since. i can understand if you hate hunting because deer look cute to some people but i don't think her tree goes all the way to the top branch.
i talked about taking kids out, she replied with "you are pissing me off, you are taking kids out who don't have a brain yet so they can get their jollies from slottering defenceless animals" she went further to say that "dontyou know that deer meat kills kids, you are killing kids!" i told her that i know of a few survivors, not many kids around here survive the deer plegues but little timmy made it through the winter.
i asked if she would mind if i go looking for sheds in her woods. she replied with "your killing mice!" At this point i am trying to hold in the biggest laugh of the year. we debated how much of an impact deer sheds have on the mice population and how we will lose our local mice population.
i could go on all day about her theories of how killing deer will kill us all. she believes that we will all have to learn how to survive off of beans in the future, i got a good laugh out of that one and left it at that.
after all of this, i will never miss a chance to debate with a peta person. there is no comedian who can match their comical relief between hunting seasons!
