how about a “Target PETA for PRACTICE” badge??
Eating is a reason. So is sport.
Or, they could rename it the “Sea Kittening” merit badge.
Tell PETA to Kiss your BASS!
As it is Friday, Lent, and I am from Wisconsin it is time for a Fish Fry.
That kind of stupid ought to hurt. Seriously.
Only if they get to replace it with a “Thrash an Animal Rights Activist” badge.

Fish the original white meat!
Don’t we get to see some nude PETA women?
These people are nuts. An interesting article for anyone who has access to the WSJ website.
Boy, the Scout Handbook Keeps ChangingHighlights
The latest edition is an eco-friendly version that boasts recycled paper and clean production
Scouts "cannot favor one interest against another and cannot countenance interference on any debatable questions, whether social, religious or political."...Interest groups made this difficult from the start. Labor unions and socialists attacked the handbook for exhorting obedience to employers and the U.S. government.
In 1972, as Congress passed the Equal Rights Amendment, the handbook's eighth edition omitted the word "Boy" from its title.
The handbook's ninth edition, in 1979, restored its masculinity,
11th edition addresses such fears with a detachable pamphlet designed to help parents talk to their sons about substance and sexual abuse. The first edition warned against alcohol and tobacco;
A 1951 fifth edition has an Indian spirit on its cover, presiding over camping Scouts [I remember that one, might still have it. Light green, I think]
The first editions are laden with text, history and diagrams. Modern editions are filled with color photos, less instruction and little history. The newest is, however, made without chlorine.
In the end, I think I will do wellas will all parents of boysif I adopt the goal set out in the first Scoutmaster Handbook: ". . . we have placed the boy in the midst, and have tried to keep his interests in the forefront; for we realize that our purpose in this Boy Scout Movement is not to exploit methods, nor to glorify movements . . . but to lead boys into useful lives." That's something to which even grown men can aspire.
Exterminate PETA!! Sounds like a much better idea to mebeing an Eagle Scout and valueing all that Scouting Instills in You as a Young Man! More Eagles for Our Nation! and Less Liberal Weirdo! HUUUHH—RRRAAAHHH!
I’m printing this one out and letting lose the Hounds of Hell upon PETA!
I have two stock boys who work for me. BOTH are getting their Eagle Scout certifications (or whatever it’s called; I guess I should pay attention, LOL!) this Spring.
Both are really terrific young men who worked very hard toward this goal. :)
I’ll trade the fishing for bow-hunting PETA members with my son.
Mona Lisa Vito: “Imagine you’re a deer. You’re prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water - BAM. A f——n’ bullet rips off part of your head. Your brains are lying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I ask ya, would you give a f-— what kind of pants the son-of-a-b—— who shot you was wearing?
Boy Scout pants?
I was a Boy Scout for One day.
Sent them this message: Like to fish,Really like to gut them.It’s natures’ way.
Those folks are the type that don’t cut their lawn because grass lives and breaths.A Bunch of Dorks.
How come peta hasn’t gone after the auto industry? More wildlife is killed by cars and that meat usually goes to waste.
Oh, horse pucky.
"Minding their own business"?
I know for a fact that pretty much any game fish a Boy Scout would be interested in catching is constantly in the act of pursuing and killing some other form of life. Bass are predators. So are trout and pickerel. And pretty darn good ones too.
How does PETA feel about that?
Still funny, though. :)
