How in the world could you compare a dog to a fish?! It's ridiculous!

I swear, those people need to find a better use of their time and resources! Rather than wasting money on these type of campaigns they should be out restoring habitat or contributing to a worthy cause. Oh well, anyone else have any thoughts on this stuff?

Most ridiuclous line I have ever read is in that story: "When it comes to feelings, a child is a dog is a fish". News flash, if you think a fish or a dog are just as important as my children, you best never say it within range of me!

Thats it I quit fishing............................. NOT!!!!

Haven't seen the billboard yet, betcha they won't be standing very long in the south, them "good ol boys" may see to that !
These people are so pitiful it makes me sick !
This is just some more of a small group of people crying louder than the entire nation. There is no way they reflect the majority view on this. Just hope I never run into any of them, don't know what would happen.

My favorite part was when they said "But didn't Jesus eat fish?" followed with "fish flesh is just about the most polluted thing that humans put into their bodies. On that basis alone, Christians should not be eating it."

Wow.

Another nut case for all fishermen/women to put up with.....

That is Naturalism at its best. When you believe there is no creator, no purpose for creation, and that this whole complicated world just happened into being then you can put dogs and fish and children on the same level. This add simply puts them in the same category because it says they feel pain the same way. PETA actually goes a litte further into this. I was preaching through Genesis last year and we began with creation. While studying and researching I came across this quote from Ingrid Newkirk, she is Peta's founder.

"There is no rational basis for saying that a human has special rights... A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy." This appeared in the Washington post BUT LISTEN TO THIS, this was in the same article where she compared and said that killing animals for food was worse than what Hitler did to the Jews... "Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six BILLION broiler chickens will die this year in the slaughterhouse."

Even with religious and theological views aside on this one - to compare boys to fish and to say that KFC is worse than Hitler is just - well there's no word to describe it.

Just thought I would pass this along.

But the sad part is those people that do not hunt or fish do not see any diffrence so they send there money to PETA to get them to stop fishing and hunting and they need a tax right off anyway so they think they have a worthy cause!

What amazes me is the "marine biologist" that is quoted. From what I've read, the bass have no nerve endings that can be found in the area around the mouth. Think of it this way, if sharp things hurt them, I'm sure they would not eat many crawfish!!!

Secondly, just the plain science of how developed the brain is clearly points out just how a fish will feel pain.

Now if we were to accept their opinion though, we should consider opening a season on the members of their organization. If they consider a person as equal to a fish, I'm sure they won't mind us catching a few of them, and then I bet they hope we exercise catch and release.

All that said, I don't agree with killing any animal just to be killing it.... but you know what? I live in the country and we do set mouse traps.

I wonder how those Peta folks feel about cockroaches, rats, mice, etc.... and I wonder what they wear and eat? Some say there is a living force that connects all living things, and that includes vegetation. Dang those guys would have to be pretty darn skinny.

I enjoyed your post on this and it gives excellent examples as to why these people are complete wacko's.

So there are no Christian members of PETA? With all due respect, sir, belief in evolution does not mean that you don't value human life over that of animals, nor does being a creationist automatically mean that you do.

[RoadToad]

Yes, PETA is a bunch of whacko's.
