PETA trying to stop bow hunts in the Loudon, TN

Got this off the Tennessee Pet Law email list, TN-Pet-Law@yahoogroups.com:

I guess as a wildlife biologist she understands that there are hunting seasons for a reason and that over population causes disease and starvation that decimates herds for years. All though that wouldn't fit the agenda. What nuts!

The trouble with statements like PETA makes is, they are not grounded in reality.

Ideas such as respect for animals and nature stem from the beliefs of ancient tribal cultures, such as those of the Native Americans. Anybody have any idea how they fed themselves? They hunted. WITH BOWS.

Geez. It's too bad that an overindulgence in idiocy isn't a crime. The world would be free of organizations like PETA who just don't understand the way the world REALLY works, and politicians would be non-existent, wouldn't that be wonderful?

[Guest BEARMAN]

Oh yea PETA, lets DON'T thin the deer herds down...so we can have MORE deer/car collisions, and kill MORE innocent children; just like what happened out on hwy.100 in West Nashville, that killed the little girl, when the deer came thru the front windshield of the car.

Wheres the sorrow and pity for a lost HUMAN life???

What about the family of the child, which is now torn apart???

Truth is, they don't give two :poop:'s about human life...and never will.

These people make me want to puke, with their animal rights diatribe, and pablum spewing hatred of hunters and the American way of life.

I am a member of PETA. I love the time my family and i have enjoying the outdoors watching all the wildlife God has blessed us with. And thank You Lord for all the tasty ways you have blessed us with to cook deer and turkey.
