Dick, Drop That Rod

The fish lovers at the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals have added Vice President Dick Cheney to the public figures on their most wanted list.

Just a few weeks after they asked former President Jimmy Carter to turn in his rod and reel, they are urging Cheney to give up fishing.

'We hope, says PETA's Karin Robertson, 'that you will agree tormenting these sensitive animals is a pastime that belongs in the past.'

Cheney, a famed Jackson Hole, Wyoming fly fisherman, would not comment.

Karin, you are off your rocker!

[Petronski]

Tell PeTA "GFY."

'We hope, says PETA's Karin Robertson, 'that you will agree tormenting these sensitive animals is a pastime that belongs in the past.'

I agree. Let's pave the pond over and build another shopping mall. That will certainly make the fish happy.

When the natural environment ceases to provide pleasure, then there will be no more need for preserving it.

Exactly what IS permissible according to these Lunatics? I guess under a PETA administration we'd be relegated to tending our acre plots and getting plenty of sleep.

[SandRat]

Ok PETA he'll just fish like Mic Dundee in the New York River. He'll use dynomite.

[HostileTerritory]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yeah right.

[Paleo Conservative]

Spare the rod and spoil the child.

Until they've convinced themselves that plants are as "sensitive" as fish, that is.

The day I give up my rods is the day I endorse hillary-aint gonna happen. Fishing is my passion. Im not giving it up for looney, granola eating whackos..

'that you will agree tormenting these sensitive animals is a pastime that belongs in the past.'

YES!..Now if all u PETA folks will practice what u preach and dont eat anything that was ever alive... all us sensitive sportsmen will be tormented no more!

[cardinal4]

Wow! Ol' Dick has a hell of a cast! Im still working on my fly casting. Something tells me that its going to be a lifelong process!

Hey Karin Robertson...go do something constructive. You silly, silly, silly little person.

Go Dick Cheney, go out there to those beautiful rivers and streams and fish to your hearts content.
Be one with the awesome scenery that God gave us.
Catch the fish you so enjoy and enjoy them for your dinner.

Ponder (while it is quiet and peaceful and while you are catching those beautiful fish) the Karin Robertons of the world who are so miserable they want company. Must be very lonely and boring to be Karin Robertons and part of PETA. They are extreme and so, so silly. Can they get ANY SILLIER? Yes, they can.
Karin dear...go find something to do. Bake, shop, read, learn, visit war torn countries to see how you can help them anything...but go find something CONSTRUCTIVE so when you look at your paycheck you can honestly say you did it the old fashioned way: "You EARNED it."

In the meantime, Mr. Vice President...enjoy your beloved rivers and streams doing what nature intended since the beginning of time because YOU Earned it! God bless you.

Hey!..Plants have feelings too ya know!..their a living breathing thing!...let them eat rocks!...Wheres the ACLU on this...selective killing of certain plants..Its genocide I tell ya...A PETA sponsored Holocaust!

[SuziQ]

I hope he tells PETA to pi$$ off!

[tuvals]

Tell PeTA "GFY." - I agree with you 100%

'that you will agree tormenting these sensitive animals is a pastime that belongs in the past.' PETA doesn't belong in the past, present or future.

They are a group of paranoid, schizophrenic nuisances! DAMN PETA!

[prairiebreeze]

PETA, drop dead.
