I asked PETA for their thoughts on Kerry and the Goose yesterday, and I received the following reply from them...

Thank you for contacting PETA about political candidates who engage in blood sports. Please understand that PETA certainly opposes any activity which causes intentional harm to animals, including hunting and fishing.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, educational organization, PETA is prohibited from participating in any political campaigns or endorsing a particular candidate or party.  However, we encourage you to contact the candidate or party that you are interested in directly; ask the party representatives for their position on animal rights, and tell the candidate that animal rights issues will influence your vote.

To learn a candidate's position on a comprehensive list of issues, including animal protection, please contact Project Vote Smart at 1-888-VOTE-SMART or http://www.vote-smart.org (be sure to include the hyphen).

PETA's "Guide to Letter-Writing (http://www.peta.org/alert/guide.html) offers helpful tips for writing to elected officials.

To learn more about ways to combat cruelty to animals as "sport" please see the following sites:

Thanks again for writing and for everything you do for animals!

Sincerely,

The PETA Staff

Since Kerry has been shooting animals during the campaign, PETA should NOT endore him. Will they... probably.

It's just like NARAL. John Kerry says he believes that "life begins at conception", but abortion rights groups have heartily endorse him. Why, because he is Mr. Abortion.

How do you ask a goose to be the last goose to die for the Kerry/Edwards campaign?

(snicker, snicker... I saw that altered quote in an earlier post and just had to use it. Sorry for stepping on another Freeper's line.)

I was wondering that it was extremely lucky that some Geese flew over that farm just at the right time. But, it appeared that from a story I read that the Geese didn't know where to go once the shooting started. As if they were unfamaliar with the land. 1) Geese just happened to fly by that morning. 2) Geese didn't know where to go to evade the gun fire. 3) Geese looked to be the same size, as if bred. I bet these were Geese that they released for the photo op. Perhaps they released about 30 of them so they could shoot 4 or more.

I bet you are right. Either that, or they were in their migration path.

Did you hear what the goose's last words were?

"I regret that I only have one life to give for the U.N. and John Kerry!"

Well, it WAS a Canadian goose...

Joe 6-pack - nice to see you! Haven't seen you around much lately. Great photo. I hope PETA jumps on board the Kerry trashing. LOL. What a photo farce Kerry did the other day! (from your FR pal; partner to a 173rd guy. We haven't talked lately). And just for fun...here's Kerry's wife and how she deals...lol
