PETA targets youth hunters
Check this article out. PETA is demading that pictures posted on a Wisconson school classroom bulletin board of students hunting be taken down. Got to hand it to the school principal, he basically told PETA to stick it.
I got a kick out of the quote from PETAimplying that young hunter will grows upto be violent against people. I grew up close to Oakland California where the murder rate was about 200 per year, I don't recall those home-boy gangsters being animal hunters. I wonder what the murder rate is in the town in Wiconsom is where the kids are posting their hunting photos?

Look at the bottom of this article, it asks for readers opinions: GO FOR IT!

geez, if anything hunters are animal lovers.....I've met/known non hunters who though animal cruelty was funny etc....if anything its the complete opposite.....I would be surprised to find hunters who though animal cruelty etc...violence was ok.
also PETA? they sound all nice but anytime Ive read/heard anything on their views/facts they're complete nuts!

RE: PETA targets youth hunters
In the article the PETA person states :
"There is a very strong connection between animal abuse and abuse toward human beings," she said. "As far as we're concerned, hunting is animal abuse. In these days of school violence, we shouldn't be encouraging kids to pick up guns."
In my opinion just the opposite should occur, we should be educating our young children about guns and we should be encouraging them to pick up guns, and be responsible with them whether they are interested in the outdoors/hunting or not. Personal protection is a must...
