LOL "give fish a chance" LOLOLOLOL
ATLANTA (Reuters) - A prominent U.S.-based animal rights group urged former President Jimmy Carter on Monday to give up fishing on the grounds that the activity was inconsistent the Nobel peace laureate's humanitarian efforts.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals made its appeal in a letter faxed to Carter's non-profit Carter Center on Monday. The group said the letter was prompted by Carter's recent appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
Carter, who served as president from 1977 to 1981 and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, told Leno of the pain he suffered when he accidentally hooked himself through the face on a fishing trip.
"We're asking President Carter to think this through and to grant fish peace by leaving them in the water where they belong," PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said in a press release.
A Carter Center spokesman said the center does not comment on Carter's private correspondence.
and you ask why we harass these morans?

I think PETA should first solve the wars between the fishes.
Why would we leave 'em be, if they just continue killing each others regardless of us.

Yes! and hasnt there been recent scientific evidence that plants can feel pain and even communicate with one another?

So... what should we eat, if we wish to not harm anyone nor anything?
I doubt we can drink water as it is, since it contains all sorts of different life forms.

or basically
Fish
and
Human
why do people constantly buy into this garbage that animals (or fish in this case) should be put into the same class as human and givin "humane" rights when they ARENT FREAKIN HUMAN?
A humanitarian has done good works for HUMANS not the fishing community.

You're too late, my friend. That group has already been started, and is known as "Earth Liberation Front".
I kid you not. They really exist.
