Default On track for a 2020 ban on sportsfishing?

With all due respect, the question RalphH asked was what strategy was
PETA going to follow. I provided a very clear answer with the links
that showed the strategy in the form of incrementalism, starting with
State Parks. The links are clear regarding this intent, if not
immediate success with the tactic, a claim I did not make. Fact is,
fishing is banned more and more in wetlands and wildlife and waterfowl
sanctuaries etc. It is closed at Hanging Lake in colorado as
'incompatible with the harmony' and, it would not suprise me to see it
banned in city and state parks as the first cut.

Your pal,

Still, you made the claim that by 2020, we would see a "ban on
sportfishing", and I see little, if any real traction on that front. I don't
fear banning or limiting activities in wildlife refuges as a threat.
Frankly, if one can accept streams regulated for fishing, one should accept
other areas(even streams) regulated towards other aims.
