Extremist is being nice. Last Christmas PETA was gong up to children at the Boston Operas presentation of the Nutcracker and giving them VERY graphic anti meat and fur pamphlets. They were targeting young children whos mothers happened to show up wearing leather or fur coats. The pamphlet then asked the kids to ask their parents why they were murderers and would they kill my pet for a coat. Very unethical. I heard a radio interview with the head of PETA in Massachusetts about this program and the interviewer asked the cheap shot question about who would he save if his house were burning, his kids or his dog. The guy actually fell for it and went into a long discussion about how he would judge the extent of the fire and determine if the dog or child were in more danger etc. etc. Talk about twisted logic.
OK. Thias is fishing related. PETA has a very large billboard on the approach Highway to the outer banks in NC trying to stop people from fishing. A very big part of the outer banks economy. These are truly dangerous people who have an agenda to wipe out any human activity that brings us into contact with animals. To them we are a disease to the planet.

Hi, everyone, PETA is short for "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals". They are activists (extremists?) who are supposedly against unethical treatment of animals, but (in MY opinion) oft take things too far and are unethical themselves just to make their collective point. Would they be this way if vegetables screamed when harvested? hmm... Again, just MY opinion... sick and twisted though it may be... Perchance my opinion is founded in only the few nuts... err, "bad apples"... who denounce research and demonstrate outside our lab building on a daily basis for using animals as research subjects, yet use medicine that comes about as a result of such tests. If it wasn't clear before, this is simply MY opinion, and is really vented frustration at the picket line outside work this AM that needed police to break up so I could get into work today. And we should treat fish (and ALL animals) with the utmost respect. (now fishing related) Tight lines all, Pete ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
