PETA trying to stop College bass fishing....

I dislike PETA as much as any of you guys, but they have NO chance to end college bass fishing....or for that matter the pros either.

I think PETA has it's best chances at the college level than anywhere else. The difference here is that the University encompasses both the bass club member students and PETA member students. With both groups sharing a connection, it could turn into an all out war with protests and such between the two. You would be crazy to think that PETA isn't behind the scenes trying to promote such a scenario. The liberal arts students tend to be more predominantly the PETA members on campus....and are usually the ones controlling the student newspaper and media outlets. Such an example would be the article you posted; it seems to favor PETA in the amount of detail put into it about the research, etc. to go against fishing. I don't think that was a necessary part to be included - I think it was included to help fuel the fire and help PETA build their army. I would like to see some background on the person who wrote the article.

I'm glad it was EKU hit with this given its demographic, for if it had been Louisville it would get ugly REAL fast. Way too many liberal arts kids to combat with at Louisville, and they are VERY radical with their continual KFC protests...lord only knows what they would do against the bass club.

I agree that a college is the type of place where PETA can gain traction. A lot of college kids are just looking for something to do to change the world. I think most of the students and alumni at EKU do not appreciate PETA's message and I hope PETA doesn't cause any problems for a good program like the EKU Bassmasters.
