Default More PETA and Pain

Here is some more of the article. If they are as careful in everything
as they are in their letters, I would enjoy and IRS audit of their
books. Mistaking Alaska for Alabama? At least they both start with an
"A", much like the word I use when talking about PETA folks.

"(W)e are writing to request that you declare King Salmon, the state
fish, off limits to fishing," Karin Robertson, manager of the group's
"fish empathy project," wrote to Murkowski.

The group targeted kings and not, say, silvers or Dolly Varden or Irish
Lords, because "it's the state fish that we're asking him specifically
to make a pardon for," and this is just a first step, said Bruce
Friedrich, PETA's director of vegan campaigns.

The governor's press secretary, Becky Hultberg, seemed somewhat
incredulous. She said PETA had addressed the letter to Murkowski,
"Governor of Alabama."

Friedrich said the Alabama reference was an error and that Alaska is
among the first targets in PETA's 6-month-old fish-empathy campaign.
