Gotta love Peta
So I' m working on my speech about hunting for school and I decided to check out Peta' s website to see what they had to say and what kind of rebutals I could use against their arguements, and I just so happened to come across this little gem telling people how to stop hunting:
" Spread deer repellent or human hair (from barber shops) near hunting areas."
Then I decided to look up the Illlinois Hunter Interference Prohibition Act which explicitely states:
(720 ILCS 125/2) (from Ch. 61, par. 302)
Sec. 2. Any person who performs any of the following is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor:
(a) Wilfully obstructs or interferes with the lawful taking of wild animals by another person with the specific intent to prevent that lawful taking.
A person violates this Section when he or she intentionally or knowingly engages in any of the following acts:
(1) Drives or disturbs wild animals for the purpose
of disrupting a lawful taking of wild animals.
(2) Blocks, impedes, or physically harasses another
person who is engaged in the process of lawfully taking a wild animal.
(3) Uses natural or artificial visual, aural,
olfactory, gustatory, or physical stimuli to affect animal behavior in order to hinder or prevent the lawful taking of a wild animal.
So I guess by the legal definition, Peta is promoting their supporters to take illegal actions in order to prevent law abiding citizens from hunting.
Ah yes, gotta love those animal rights activists!
