Last time I checked PETA stood for People for the ETHICAL Treatment of
Animals. I don't see that this means not eating animals or killing them. I
see it to mean that they don't want animals treated inhumanely.

Ethical: Being in accordance with the accepted principles of right and wrong
that govern the conduct of a profession.

Is it wrong to kill an animal and eat it? Other animals do it, so why not
humans? Is it right to torcher and torment an animal? I doubt it. But there
is a big difference between the two.

Actually, I can see PETA's point against fishing... but only when it's catch
and release (which is what we want to do most of the time). But I question
if a fish actually experiences and registers pain when hooked. For example,
I'm sure everyone has swatted at mosquitoes and I'm sure they've wounded a
few. Is this treatment acceptable and hooking a fish is not? At some point
people need to draw the line.
