Peta strikes again

the people at Pet Ecstasy Testing Area, or PETA
are now telling kids to save the Sea Kittens (Fishes)
I found this link from Peta http://www.peta.org/sea_kittens/
And say there that fishing hurts dont know were the proof of that is
Cause i live in Iceland the fishing nation and i love eating fishes all kinds all shapes and type
And this is offensive and ignorance


On the Fishing Hurts section
They claim the fishing is Cruel and i dont see how,
We only cut there throat when they are caught
here is a quote

from peta
"Todays commercial fishers use massive ships the size of football fields and advanced electronic equipment and satellite communications to track fish. These enormous vessels can stay out at sea for as long as six months, storing thousands of tons of fish onboard in massive freezer compartments. "

Thats becuase Fishes are in High Demand from development nations and religion nations who cant eat meat on some days

"Commercial fishing has become a big business, and the methods used to catch and kill the animals are as cruel as those used by factory farmers or slaughterhouse operators. In fact, the methods used to kill fish indicate that commercial fishers see their prey as no more sentient than rocks on a mountainand the horrible cruelty that they inflict on hundreds of billions of fish is completely unregulated."

from me
Were not killing fishes because we dont like them, were killing them cause we need food and they want us to become Vegan
Iceland cant grow vegetables in large scale and fish is used as a fertilizer to grow vegetables.

from peta
"Yet commercial fishers kill hundreds of billions of animals every yearfar more than any other industryand theyve decimated our ocean ecosystems. In fact, 90 percent of large fish populations have been exterminated in the past 50 years and a recent report published in the academic journal Science, estimates that by the year 2048 our oceans will have been completely over-fished."

from me
And i dont know were they got that statics but there is a system up and its maid to not over fish
And a group of whales eat more fish than us

from peta
"Lifeless oceans may encourage growth in the fish-farming industry but the FAO is concerned that even fish farming will not be able to meet the demand for fish, since farmed fish need to be fed 5 pounds of commercially-caught fish for every 1 found of fish flesh they produce"

from me
I dont know were they saw that in a fishing farm


Things ive aten: Whales,sharks,shrimps,cod,salmon,trout,Beef,lamp,horse,and every part of a ram

things ive wanted to eat tongue.gifolphin,Dogs,seal,monkey,snakes and alot more

am i on the Peta Enemy list ?

With this ignorance witch Peta has and thinks about stop fishing, instead of saying Fish less or something else
For a week ago i had the best Whale meal i tasted in a long time and when i bring up that i eat whales then for some reason a Monster dont know why

and we have this tradition here on Iceland we call it Ŝorablót its when we eat food that kept Iceland alive in the old days we typicaly ate every part of the Sheep Ram and fish
Even the testicles from the rams
And the shark that one day i hope that i can offer Teller cause many say hes a hard core eater of nasty stuff

If we allow these Groups of people to do what the fuck they want without thinking what the moral is
It could end badly for them and us

I would happily Kick the face of every worker in Peta


Was in a Newsarticle
when the Western Culture goes to africa they fuck up more things than usual ,
Like when Africa had all these deases becuse 2 people were dying each week
thne Doctors came and cured it now 8 people die each day out of starvation

Where is the moral

Don't worry about the grammar, man. You speak at least two languages well enough to be understood in both, and that's more than can be said for most Americans.

It's true that many fisheries in the world are being overfished and undermanaged. Fortunately a lot of fisheries are being managed quite well. Not only are there limits on the amount of stock that can be taken, but the equipment is limited so that it has a minimal impact on species that are not intended to be taken.

More work needs to be done in many areas of the world to allow fisheries to recover and then to remain stable and sustainable. It's totally possible, but consumers of fish need to vote with their dollars and buy fish from sustainable fisheries if this is an issue they care about.

For those who want to support sustainable fisheries but don't know how to keep track of all the crazy varieties of fish out there, next time you're standing in the fish section of your grocery store you can whip out your cell phone and send a message to 30644. The body of the message should say FISH and then the type of fish you're seeking information on. For example, "FISH salmon." Within a couple of minutes, a text will arrive telling you which salmon fisheries, if any, are sustainable and OK to buy from.

Myself, I fucking hate fish right now. It was my day to feed the pelicans today. Nothing--NOTHING--gets the smell of capelin off your hands, and those slimy little bastards are odiferous. It takes about 24 hours for the smell to wear off. Irish Spring disguises it for a while, but not for long. I am one sexy chick tonight. GENTLEMEN, AREN'T YOU SAD THAT I'M ALREADY TAKEN?

Your statement "I would happily Kick the face of every worker in Peta" just made my day.

Also, when PETA says that the oceans will be devoid of fish, they mean the kind of fish we eat. No scientists I know believe that it's plausible that all life in the oceans will evaporate. If we don't manage fisheries, then sure, large fish that are easy for us to catch could well go extinct, and possibly the species that currently eat them as well. But bait fish? Krill? Come on, PETA.

It's just crazy scare tactics.

I won't be sad if capelin go extinct, though.
