PETA Targets Boy Scouts Fishing Merit Badge
(CNSNews.com) - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is now targeting
the Boy Scouts of America because of a merit badge given to members who exhibit a
mastery of fishing, an activity PETA claims "[teaches] young people that hooking,
maiming, suffocating, and killing [fish] is acceptable." To spread its message, PETA
has begun running television advertisements calling on the Boy Scouts to retire its
"Fishing" and "Fish and Wildlife Management" merit badges.
