I have popped over from the carp forum.
There was an article in a newspaper that another forum member brought to my attention that i couldn,t help but reply to.
It was written by a Theresa Thom,obviously someone with some kind of connection to a AA organisation.

It can be found on page 6 of the message board,under the sub heading of "air your views" titled "Lets ban fishing now"

You may have to do a biy of hunting in the archives but it won,t be that difficult,the date of the article is Sept 4 2002

My name is Anthony Coser, i wrote the first reply to this "woman"

Hope this helps

Anthony,
Thanks for that I'll have a scout around.

Think I saw something about PETA having a go at KFC in the states on the BBC web site a few days ago.

My fear is that IF Fox hunting is banned they will turn there full attention to Angling,

We all know the threat they pose by putting a virus into our Pcs but what else are they likely to do?????

We need to keep a step in front and anything we can get on them is good,

do you think they would put a virus on our computers

just shoot them first, anyone know rambo of The Syndicate fame's email addy??

Annoyed with the new stop smoking add with giant hook. ok its aimed at smokers like my self, but in fishing terms it does not take much thought to connect the scene to fish. you grimace at the thought of being hooked in the cheek. millions of peeps are seeing this ad. will they see the connection with fish. Fishing line, fishing hook, pain!! dead right they will.not the type of thing we anglers need shown to the masses.

i feel the same animal, anti's well defo be using this!!

i gave up the fags bout 10 weeks ago, no advert made me do it, just skint!! fishing or fags basicly!!

Here are a few links to snippets that Ive found in just a few minutes searching about PETA which may raise a few eyebrows.
PETA 1
PETA 2
PETA 3
PETA 4
PETA 5
There are loads more if you look about on the web.
What a load of stupid, ignorant wallies they are, (and any gullible people who support them)!!

<p>After more than 100 dead dogs were dumped in a trash dumpster over four weeks, police in Ahoskie, N.C., kept an eye on the trash receptacle behind a supermarket. Sure enough, a van drove up and officers watched the occupants throw in heavy plastic bags. They detained the two people in the van and found 18 dead dogs in plastic bags in the dumpster, including puppies; 13 more dead dogs were still in the van. Police say the van is registered to the headquarters of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and the two occupants, Andrew B. Cook, 24, and Adria Joy Hinkle, 27, identified themselves as PETA employees. An autopsy performed on one of the dogs found it was healthy before it was killed. Police say PETA has been picking up the animals -- alive -- from North Carolina animal shelters, promising to find them good homes. Cook and Hinkle have been charged with 62 felony counts of animal cruelty. In response to the arrests PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said it's against the group's policy for employees to dump animals in the trash, but "that for some animals in North Carolina, there is no kinder option than euthanasia." (Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald) <i>...Oops, my mistake: that's "Playing God" Defined.</i><br />
<p>In his author's notes section, Cassingham had more to say about this story:<br />
<p><blockquote><b>The more I learn about PETA,</b> the less I think of them. The story of them killing animals isn't even unusual. According to PETA's own filings, in 2004 PETA <i>killed</i> 86.3 percent of the animals entrusted to its care -- a number that's rising, not falling. Meanwhile, the SPCA in PETA's home town (Norfolk, Va.) was able to find loving homes for 73 percent of the animals put in its care. A shortage of funds? Nope: last year PETA took in $29 million in tax-exempt donations. It simply has other priorities for the funds, like funding terrorism (yes, really). But don't take my word for it: I got my figures from <a href="http://www.PETAkillsAnimals.com" target="new">http://www.PETAkillsAnimals.com</a> -- and they have copies of PETA's state and federal filings to back it up. The bottom line: if you donate money to PETA because you think they care for and about animals, you need to think some more. PETA literally yells and screams about how others "kill animals" but <i>this</i> is how they operate? Pathetic.<br />
<p>And you know what I wonder? PETA's <i>official</i> count of animals they kill is 86.3 percent. But if they're going around picking up animals, killing them while they drive around and not even giving them a <i>chance</i> to be adopted, and then destroying the evidence by dumping the bodies in the trash, are <i>those</i> deaths being reported? My guess: no. While 86.3 percent is awful, the actual number is probably much, <i>much</i> higher. How <i>dare</i> they lecture <i>anyone</i> about the "ethical" treatment of animals!</p> <p>(<i>This is True</i> is a weekly column featuring <a href="http://www.thisistrue.com" target="new">weird-but-true news</a> stories from around the world, and has been published since 1994.
