Being an avid hunter, i frequent animal rights board to see what the oppositon is up to, I had to pass this one on, seems they are about to target the eating of lobsters, and want to get the message out in gay pride events.

>Dear Activist,
>When warm summer weather comes along, many people yearn to be out of
>doors. We have two related ideas:
>For some, nicer weather means going "hunting in the water," i.e.,
>pulling out a rod and reel and tormenting helpless fish, who begin to
>suffocate to death as soon as they're taken out of their element. Of
>course, countless birds and other animals suffer, and many die, too,
>from injuries caused by swallowing or becoming entangled in discarded
>fishing hooks, monofilament line, and lead weights. We hope you can
>schedule some time in the coming weeks to put on your best smile and go
>hand out one or more of the following leaflets: "Fishing Hurts," "What's
>Fishy About Seafood?" and "Being Boiled Hurts" (about lobsters). Please
>send me an e-mail with your name and mailing address (no P.O. boxes,
>please), and I will send 50 of each leaflet, 25 "Fishing Hurts"
>stickers, and 25 "Being Boiled Hurts" stickers (if you can use more,
>just let me know).
>Another idea: In many cities, there are "Gay Pride" festivals and
>parades in June. These events are a great opportunity to reach many
>people with a colorful animal rights message. Consider having a table at
>your local Gay Pride festival or entering the parade with your own
>animal rights-themed float or banner. Please go to
>www.interpride.org/igc02/igc2002index.htm to find events in your area.
>We'll happily send fliers to help you with your event.
>Thank you for all you do for animals. They truly need you!

All the more reason to take your kids out fishing when they're old enough: so they don't become fruits like these guys.

Quoted:
PETA had a cow suited idiot outside one of the local grade schools this week. I guess people mostly made fun of him/her. even the local weekly left wing paper made jokes about it-they said the cows looked pretty content in the PETA handout (course cows usually look pretty content no matter what)
