Petition To Rescind PETA's Tax-Exempt Status

Please excuse my ignorance on this, but could you detail some of the
success
they have had in MA?

In 1996, using a well funded disinformation campaign, PETA was able to convince
the residents of MA to pass Question 1, which for all practicle purposes
outlawed trapping. There has since been an explosion in the beaver population
that has caused a great amount of damage, and has established thousands of
acres of new mosquito habitat, at a time when West Nile Virus and Eastern
Equine Encephalitis are on the upswing in southern New England.

Question 1 also changed the makeup of the Fisheries and Wildlife Advisory
Board. The board is the final word on hunting and fishing regulations, and the
passage of Question 1 opens the door for PETA candidates to be appointed to the
board. The members of the board serve at the pleasure of the Governor, and thus
far the apointees have been reasonable people who are well versed in
environmental sciences, and tend to leave the decisions to the wildlife
proffesionals. When PETA gains a toehold on the board, it will be the beginning
of the end of hunting and fishing in MA.

Any organization operating against your interests that is as well funded as is
PETA, is quite dangerous.

Also, the anti-trapping law has allowed the coyotes population to rise very
quickly. On an ironical note, the folks closer to Boston and in the hoity
toity towns of Lincoln, Wellsley, and Weston who were for the law, have found
the coyotes killing their poor Fifis and wonder why it is happening.

George,

Thanks for the info. It is indeed hard to believe that a land settled by
people who hunted and fished for survival now has a growing population
hellbent upon preventing such practices. Good luck fighting the good fight.

I live in a land settled by people who hunted redskins and owned ******s. I
live in a land settled by people who collected bounties on wolves, coyotes,
every kind of weasel, eagles and all other raptors, snakes, and numerous
other competitors who interfered with their rapine. I live in a land
settled by people who considered every acre clear cut or burned to the
ground a tribute to a beneficent and omniscient god. I live in a land with
a growing population hell-bent now upon preventing such practices. Good
luck with the brain damage.

Not only that, but they didn't bathe and their mothers dressed them funny.

True, true.

By the way, a friend just lent me a copy of Richard Brautigan's "An
Unfortunate Woman". There is a photo of the author on the front of the dust
jacket. "Hey!", sez I, "I know that guy! I've fished and chased baby deer
with him!"

Wolfgang
uncanny!

Whether you accept the theory of a Bering Land Bridge or not, I am rather
certain that the "Native Americans" that first settled most of North America
were often (though not universally) involved in tribal conflicts which
resulted in the loss of life, I rather doubt that they owned "******s" as
you put it. For more information on the Bering Land Bridge,

I rather doubt that they collected bounties of any sort on animals, but am
willing to concede the point if you can direct me toward appropriate
documentation.

I also doubt that clear cutting or burning was a wide spread practice..

I live in a land with a growing population hell-bent now upon preventing
such practices.

And it's a good thing too!

Good luck with the brain damage.

Mighty kind of you.


Jim Ray
Just wondering, is it possible you were thinking of European settlers?
