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
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.
(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.)
uhm...forgot to say I was wearing a Tin Foil Hat during the last post :-)
Hey, we missed fish amnesty day! What a crack up.
"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.
Hey, throw a walleye or couple of crappies this way, will ya? lol
You got the same canned response.
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...
