PETA says "Fishing Is Cruel"

[ScottV]

Can y'all believe these folks? PETA is wanting to stop the school fishing team at The University Of Alabama In Birmingham saying if you hooked a cat or dog in the mouth and drug them around, you'd be charged. Bunch of tree huggers!

People for the Eating of Tasty Animals YUMMMM I actually have a t shirt someone where that says that on it

["G"]

Yeh they have been gripeing for several years now that fishing is cruel and causes pain and anguish to the fish. Dang....its always something isn't it?

[EmptyStringer]

We should be ashamed of ourselfs. I encourage everyone to trash your equipment and take up gardening.

G3 get with it. We can keep the same group of folks, but become Cabbage.com.

I bet WB will have the first tiller with ipilot

["G"]

It will have to have Ipilot and cruise control or Wannabe won't use it. :D

How do they know it hurts a fish to hook it? I want to hear the tape of the fish talking. I will say one thing for PETA-- They always have some fine, big chested blonde at their protest.

I actually heard where PETA was going to ask WB to be their spokesman. It was in the press release that they figured he would be a good one since he knew some fisherman but he himself did not catch them.

What a bunch of new-age liberal crap, what is the survival rate for fish that are released? I am pretty sure it is over 90% for largemouth bass. Also, their mouths are actually dead skin anyways right?

[Wannabe...]

There's actually a group out there that claim vegetables have feelings too believe it or not.

You'd figure after all this time the idjits would have starved to death and we wouldn't hear much out of 'em. I think they're all slipping a 1/4 pounder with cheese on us.

Wannabe...

A fishes mouth is like our hair or nails, no nerves so it doesn;t hurt them.
