A representative for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals penned a letter on behalf of the organization to a bear mauling victim asking her to use the incident to rethink her position on hunting.

The letter, obtained by website We Are Central PA, was authored by Alicia Woempner, special projects division manager at PETA, to Camille Bomboy, 18.

“I am writing on behalf of PETA and our more than 3 million members and supporters, including thousands across Pennsylvania, to send our best wishes for your speedy recovery and ask you to take a few moments to reflect on this incident,” Woempner wrote.

The 18-year-old was mauled by a mother bear Friday morning, reportedly suffering bite injuries and almost losing an ear before her father employed a rifle to scare the animal off.

“This seems to be a good opportunity to put yourself in the place of the individuals you and the rest of your hunting party were trying to kill,” the letter said. “As terrifying as it must have been to be attacked by a bear, please consider the frightening and painful experiences that hunters set out to impose upon animals.”

I wish PETA would focus on educating the bears that not all humans intend to do them harm.  Perhaps then we could de-escalate some of the bear-on-human and human-on-bear violence.

Suggesting a resort to the courts because someone acted like an asshole and upset you is just plain dumb.

She should write back, and say:  

"Dear PETA...
Thank you for your well wishes in my healing process.  It was, indeed a very scary incident.
In response to being mauled by a bear, I will now devote my life to a policy of killing every single bear, or bear-like animal I happen to see."

Peta wouldn't care. They kill far more animals than they save. I want to say their report for 2012 to Va was around 90% of the animals that were brought in to their care in Va were killed. Not sure if this person is still there but their VP used insulin while they talked about how animal testing got us nothing.

PETA,
Thank you for your well wishes.  I am recovering well and should be back in the woods in a few weeks. After reflecting upon this terrible incident, I have a question: can you recommend an organization to donate bear meat to?  Have a good day saving all the animals.

Yours,

no. Not really.  

Last time I checked, it's not legal to run over to the PETA house and kick their asses.  So unless you just wanna roll over and let them plow you, legal action seems appropriate.

I'm having trouble finding a cause of action PETA would be able to file on the victim.  I haven't been an attorney for very long though (less than a year), maybe you can help me out.

New rule.

New steps for admission to PETA membership.

1. All prospective PETA members will write an essay of why they want to become members, and why they love animals and want to protect the cuddly and furry creatures.

2. All prospective  PETA members will be put in a cage with a bear for 15 minutes.

3. All prospective PETA members will write at least one paragraph, if capable, prior to medical attention *, of how their views on the bear have changed.

* If new member is incapacitated to the point that they must wait until after their release from the hospital to write their paragraph, they may do so. If new prospected member does not survive their time with the bear, they will be honorary members for life.

I should have been clearer.  So let me try again.

We can all agree that PETA sucks and the person that wrote this is a complete douchebag cunt.  

But if you open up PETA and the douchebag cunt to to a civil lawsuit for douchey conduct that resulted in "hurt feelings" then you have to open up lawsuits against conservative, pro-gun folks for hurting the feelings of liberal, soft-minded folks.  You cannot arbitrarily say only "hurt feelings" that you agree with should result in a civil lawsuit.  What is sauce for the goose... and all that.  

Make sense?

In any event, SCOTUS pretty well laid to rest any civil lawsuits based on emotional distress damages for this type of conduct in Snyder v. Phelps.

That situation is distinguished from this issue in that this is not a "protest" of any kind.  This is direct harassment to a victim of an injury, not a bunch of idiots protesting funerals, in an open forum,  where the first amendment thrives.  This is not a "his views hurt my feelings" situation, as portrayed in the cited case, this involves an organization reaching out and harassing a victim (not an open forum)

If you want to debate the implications of the case, I'm more than happy to.

If you want to answer the other point, it may keep this thread more on track.  How do you solve the problem of not opening up a flood of lawsuits by butthurt liberals against conservatives?

Peta is the political arm of the animal liberation front (ALF) who were declared a domestic terror group long before anyone had heard of Osama and Al quaeda. Any dumbass whose part of either group imho should be treated as such.
