Sometimes not so subtle. As I'm sure you remember, we came very close to a
shooting war over fishing rights in northern Wisconsin as recently as
fifteen years ago. There were numerous violent incidents. It is little
short of a miracle that no one got killed.....this time. The fire is under
control, for the moment, but it is by no means out. I'll be much surprised
if it doesn't flare up again in the not too distant future.

Of course, this particular set of circumstances was exacerbated by virulent
racism but any attempt to ban fishing (in the instant case, it was only
about the perception that one group was getting more than its fair
share......well, ostensibly, anyway) WOULD be met with lethal opposition.

In subtle, I was thinking more of leaving no evidence. Like the
tourist or two that got in what they thought was some minor
disagreement up there and were, reportedly, fed to the pigs. Some do
have brains enough not to have a loud fight on the street in front of
the bar first. Locals, that is. Can't speak for tourists on that,
though if the ones I've toured with are an example, many tourists have
more sense, too. But I doubt most PETAs do.
