A little ridiculous on PETA's part, don't you think? Instead of worrying about people fishing, how about worrying about the causes of the high PCB and mercury levels that are wiping out the entire ecosystem?

Barking up the wrong tree, IMO.

Nope, not me. You can contact people directly through Flickr, though.

Word!

To protest the killing of animals for food is a tough sell since we will never know if the human race is inherently carnivorous, and carnivorism is part of nature's process.

However, killing anything for sport is barbaric and if we as a species want to evolve beyond the cruel and sadistic tendencies that plague us then we need to create legislation making blood sports illegal. Period.

A person who kills anything for enjoyment is, in my opinion, a serial killer. That is what they do, isnt it?

Are you jag9889? If so, my friend has a picture of you taking a picture of him.

When posting somebody's image from Flickr or similar resource, consider giving the photographer credit and provide a link to their page. Throw them a bone and help direct traffic their way.

Seek lighthouse for anti-fishing education

Friday, June 05, 2009
Jersey Journal

The animal rights group PETA wants to use the Robbins Reef lighthouse off Bayonne and two others in Michigan to publicize what it says are the horrors of killing fish for food and sport.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says it wants to use the Bayonne setting as the national headquarters for its "Fish Empathy Project."

PETA sent a letter yesterday to the acting director of the National Park Service notifying him of its bid to take over the lighthouse under terms of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act.

Norfolk, Va.-based PETA says its plan calls for educational displays and a cafe serving items such as fake fish sticks.

The two other lighthouses are located along Lake Michigan in Grand Haven, Mich.
