Go ahead and finish the subject line.

What The PETA People Don't Understand Is...

1. Proper hunting is as if not more ethical than any slaughterhouse.
2. A lot of other products other than food have animal by products in them.
3. We don't push our beliefs on them so they need to respect OUR rights too.

We'd listen to them, even if they pretended to listen to us.You can't have a civilized conversation with these people, it just doesn't work.

1.hunters have saved countless lives, because we shot a deer, that would have later ran into their car.
2.We keep the population in check, which in turn makes for healthier deer.
3.Venison is better for you than any other store bought meat, which means when we eat it we are making a healthier America.
4.other peoples thoughts.
5. 99% of us are not out there for the kill, just for the relaxtion, the other 1% gives us all a bad name.

Everything posted thus far is true.

I think the biggest thing they don't understand is the negative implications of eliminating hunting. Nor do they want to.

There are acouple ofbig things they don't understand. Besides life in general................

*Life feeds on life. Regardless if that life belonged to an animal or plant, a living being must kill in order to survive.
*The houses they live in, the cars they drive, the roads they drive on,the factories that produce their computers and other day to day thingsthey use etc... etc... all destroyed theplaces that countless animals use to call "home".

You are forgetting that there is historical evidence that strongly suggests that the co-founder and current CEO of PETA is a mentally unbalanced extremist of acultist nature. To give them any kind of forum is silly and ridiculous. Hopefully, the F.B.I. will conclude their investigation of this organization and indictments will follow and PETA will be dismantled. This would bring a stop to their crimes against humanity and teach people to be careful of this kind of agenda in the future.

It does no good to talk rationally about irrational people. The point was made that hunting is more humane than a slaughterhouse. Well, they want to shut down the slaughterhouse, too! Think you're an animal lover because you are kind to dogs and cats? They don't think you should have pets either! People have been eating meat since there have been people. They don't care. They will deny it and insist that you stop now! Screw these people!

As in any radical group there are some well-meaning people. People who care about animals and don't believe in cruelty but are mis-guided and a little unstable. Then there are the other people. The people who run these organizations. The vile parasites who hide behind the well-meaning group. The ones who really want to change society to their way of thinking. Who want to change our form of government and take away all our freedoms. The ones who would prefer Stalin to Reagan.

1) That we take more time than they think studying, appreciating and respecting what we hunt more than they will evey know.

2) while it may seem creepy Germ spooning a deer is really a show of respect.

3) In a handcap match with the AFL hunters would still win.

What The PETA People Don't Understand Is... They have killed more animals in 1 year than any 5 hunters combined will kill in a lifetime, but yet WE'RE savages?
And the animals they murdered were obtained under the lie that peta would find a good home for the. Then they were killed in the back of a van on the side of the road and thrown in a dumpster.

But I'm inhumane.................

You cannot reason with these people. They will stand there with their Birkenstock sandals (leather) and Liz Claiborne purse (leather) and tell you how horrible it is that you kill animals.

Unfortunately they put animals up on a pedestal and consider them equal to humans. This doesn't allow for rational thought. I wish they would take a look at the numbers and realize that growing deer populations can be dangerous to humans when you consider deer-vehicle collisions. Here are some facts from an article I wrote (posted on weloveoutdoors.com) a while back that I wish some of the PETA folks would see...

"A five-state study (TranSafety, Inc. 1997) showed there were 21,470 deer-vehicle collisions in 1985 and 36,332 in 1991. During this time, 112 human fatalities[/b] occurred due to deer-vehicle collisions. The reason for such a dramatic increase is due to a declining hunter population and an increasing urbanization of rural America. There are other studies that suggest 90-95% of these collisions result in the death of the animal, leaving 5-10% to wander off with internal injuries or broken legs and backs. In my opinion, these statistics far outweigh the 20% (non-lethal[/b]) wounding rate of bow hunters."

IMO,no amountof deer lives (or any other animal) are worth the life of one of those humans killed in the collisions. Maybe that would jog them back into reality but I think that is too optimistic.

All true, but they do know that. That is why they are agianst all things related to harming an animal. They protest all industries that do the things you mentioned.

What PETA people don't understand is........ the basic concept of reality! I put them right up there with scientologists, most of which are probably peta members anyway.

What The PETA People Don't Understand Is... That although I take a few deer every year.....I am a lover of the very animals I pursue. I worry about whether they (as a HERD) have enough to eat......that their habitat is suitable.....and I worry about how the few affects the many.

As I mature as a hunter (remember....we're all in this for our own, personal reasons)....these things will shape how I approach each season more and more. I can see the day coming (sooner, rather than later) when killing a deer is not important. If someone else can take care of this aspect of the overall experience.....that will be fine with me.

What they don't know is.....by taking a few deer....we're being responsible stewards of earth.....and that is WHY we do what we do. We serve a noble cause. They will just never acknowledge these facts.

That we are very educated people, not a bunch of red necks like they think! These Peta folks are some of the most uneducated people I've ever met!!!!

that all animals eat other living things, plant or animal. Some plants do to. That its OK to be the natural animal you are, as long as there's no malice in your actions.

Very true.

PETA doesn't understand just how much hunters do to support wildlife conservation and habitat restoration (both directly and indirectly through license fees).

They don't understand how much we love, admire, and respect the animals we pursue.

They don't understand that bowhunters spend hundreds of hours practicing their archery skills so that they can HUMANELY kill their quarry with no suffering.

All of the deerthat I've killed suffered far less than most humans will at the end of our lives! I hope my own death is as quick and humane as the deaths of the animals that my arrows have killed. I've watched PEOPLE suffer for months and years from Cancer, Alzheimers, etc. but PETA doesn't seem to care when it's HUMANS suffering. Something is wrong with that.

I wish they'd spend their time, money, and energy working to prevent HUMAN suffering. Lord knows there's too much of that in this world.

What The PETA People Don't Understand Is... How many millions if not billions of dollars that we pump into the economy each year. Also all the money and work that WE not they put into conservation projects.
Also they dont understand that what they need to do is to go to Alaska and tell the bears that its wrong to eat meat and make friends with the bears like Timothy Treadwell (sp?) did[8D]

What The PETA People Don't Understand Is... Hunters raise more money for conservation efforts in a year than their organization can do in any one persons lifetime.
