PETA Says "Stop Fishing"

I know I said that this blog was supposed to be about animals in the news and new pet health related topics, but I can't help but show my irritation at PETA's latest escapade. This will be brief, I promise!

PETA wants to stop fathers from fishing with their kids on Father's Day! I am not joking, you can read the brief story here as well as watch the news video. This spokesperson ("spokesgirl") says "that's no way to teach a child compassion to other animals, much less human beings".

Ok...how about PETA's antics of humilating models wearing fur? How about the evil offspring of PETA, Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front firebombing the cars of scientists in California? Is that their idea of compassion? PETA doesn't want us to own pets...how does that teach compassion??

Are there reports that PETA is losing money during this recession? It sure seems like they are stretching for new ways to get people's money from them!! Let me know what you think and share your opinions here.
