So apparently we fisherman are compensating for being poorly endowed, or something.
I guess I should be be glad PETA has no real argument against fishing, so resorts to calling fish sea kittens, and claiming fishermen have small "rods".
The only problem I have peta is a can't eat it all
in one sitting...doggy bag prehaps?
Do they have anything against eating
bugs? The average American eats over
5 pounds of bugs a year.
I think it's funny that if you own two or more power tools, you are overcompensating as well. Let's see, if I get rid of my drill, saw and sander, that leaves me having to do things around the house 'man'ually... Which is way more manly if you ask me... Wait, does that mean I'm now trying to overcompensate for my overcompensations? Screw it, I just won't use any tools and go fishing instead...
The good thing about PETA is that they discredit themselves.
Sure, they may pick up a few lunatics along their way, but the average person with an opposable thumb and the ability to apply a modest degree of reason to a situation doesn't pay PETA any serious attention. I'm kinda glad they're around just for pure comic amusement.
Last October I was doing some fishing near Tonasket. I pulled into a gas station to grab some things. On my way in, I noticed a large group of neo-hippies giving me the hard stare from across the parking lot. I didn't really think much of it until I went to put pop & ice in the cooler. I heard one say, "Maybe if we all stare really angrily at him, he'll know he's not wanted and just leave." I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I turned and had a little stare down with them. I didn't even know why, just figured they were too stoned or something. As we were leaving, my friend who waited in the truck told me those guys' were talking shit about my pontoon boats and my fishing stickers. It dawned on me then, only because I had just read about PETA's new campaign in a fly-fishing magazine. Those dread-locked idiots in the parking lot MUST have been PETAtards.
