Bobby, these numbers don't really jive. If 80% of the general public is on the fence and if the remaining 20% are hunters, where do the anti's fit in? They have to make up at least part of the 80% you mentioned.

To all who have added to this thread: One important fact exists about PETA that we all need to remember. This group believes that animals should not be killed- period. They play on everybody's emotions by showing video clips of animals being tortured (an act which disgusts me, by the way) but the bottom line is that they feel that animals shouldn't be killed and that hunting them for "sport" is a horrendous act committed by blood-thirsty savages. Any tree hugging radical who joins PETA cannot be educated about hunting and as far as I'm concerned, there would be no use in trying to befriend them.

On the other hand, organizing a hunting organization like HETA (although I wouldn't want it to be similar to PETA in any way, so I'd prefer a different name) would be a great idea. The public needs to understand that hunters love animals- both on the hoof and on the plate!

P.S. A couple of you guys need to watch your mouths. Let's keep the language clean or the mods will shut this one down.
