Fishing Kills

As I was preparing for Thanksmas I took a couple minutes to get online and see what's up in the world. I discovered that the world has lost it. We've all gone nuts. There was significant anecdotal evidence to this point but I finally found the proof I've been looking for. PETA has an article about a new comic that they are publishing. The article depicts a man (who looks like he's lost his mind) gutting a fish in truly gruesome fashion. Now, some who read this may well be vegeterians (hi Anne) and I certainly respect that. I can't, however, imagine that giving these kinds of gruesome pictures to children and telling them their father is a horrible killer is the best approach to teaching children that fishing and hunting is wrong. They may not fish but they'll be up all night worrying that their psychotic father is going to come kill them. My favorite line is towards the bottom, "Until your daddy learn's that it's not 'fun' to kill, keep your doggies and kitties away from him. He's so hooked on killing defenseless animals that they could be next!"
