"I see your point Fred, but Peta hadn't noticed that any people, anywhere, were dying. The most important thing to them was that a donkey had seen its last carrot."maybe if you anglers actually left your boat for a bit you'd understand that peta is an ANIMAL rights group.. hence the reason they protect animal rights.after you've fished out all our lakes, and have nothing left to do, you can actually do your research. And in what way does Ingrid Newkirk, (learn to spell someones name before you disrespect them) live in an arrogant way? Is it that she dedicates her life to saving the lives of animals that cannot speak for themselves? And i'd like you to tell me what the "real world" way of living is. If you guys maybe weren't too old to understand that times have changed, there may have been some reasoning with you. And there are COUNTLESS groups out there helping starving people, so whats the problem with having animal rights groups? So say i agreed that fish don't feel any pain, does it make it right to take away a life for fun? if a human is under anesthetic, is it right to kill them just because they don't feel it? even after fish are thrown back into the water, many fish die of stress and injuries.

Post edited for foul language - GM, which is not surprising considering this foul-mouthedgirl can only make her ill informed points by stressingher inaccuracies with profanities. If she'd done a little research of her own she would discover that anglers save more lives of fish than any other human being on the planet - and that includes the total membership of Peta.
I wonder how many members of Peta are members of any body that fights pollution, the biggest fish killer of all? How many of them spend their spare time tending to river banks and other fishery management projects to make sure the fish have a safe place to live? How many members of Peta petition local government when they're about to fill in yet another natural lake?
Probably not a single one of them; they'd much rather come on here and spout the ill-informed crap like that from the foul-mouthed Searsgirl above who probably thought releasing mink into the wild, that went on to slaughter millions of fish, was a great idea.
"If you guys maybe weren't too old to understand that times have changed, there may have been some reasoning with you." She says.
And if she was a little older and wiser she'd understand that anglers are nothing like what she imagines, or what Peta's indoctrination hasled her to believe.
Mind you, she's not even bright enough to have realised that this thread was started over 6 years ago, so what can you expect?
