Swampster,
That's the problem with our society, no sense of humor, zero, zilch, zip...
Never give an activist anything, zero, nothing, ignore. You give them anything, they come back for more....Was it Hank Williams sang that song, :I'm gonna start a coalition to end all coalitions......?
Geezer attitude: Journey thru life, fat ,dum and happy......
How 'bout road kill animal activist candy? Nah, probably taste like s##t.

That's like a new year's thing they had around here.
In one of the far corners of NC, every New Year's Eve they have a possum drop. The possum wasn't "dropped". It was lowered in cage suspended by some rope from the roof of a gas station/convience mart.
Some pictures of the event http://ccsop.com/gallery/album13/brasstown
Description http://www.clayscorner.com/new-years-eve.shtml
Afterward, the carptured possum was releases and then everyone cheered. A simple event that got more popular because it was fun and safe. Well here comes PETA or some other hippie outfit. Griping that it was unsafe and cruel to the possum. So they had to stop.
Article about it being stopped: http://www.joannejacobs.com/mtarchives/013639.html
The event tried to switch to road-kill possum but I beleive that got squashed (no pun intended) too because of accusations about if the possum was acutally road killed or shot for the event.

If it was shot first it wasn't traumatized by being lowered in the cage. Why not hang a PETA member by their feet from the ridge. At midnight just cut the rope. SPLAT!
This thread just brought up memories of years gone by. Our family and most of the locals were really big hunters in the old days. We hunted most everything. The sportmans club used to have a anything goes picnic every summer at the club house. Fellas had a great time. The 'ol boys would cook up deer, bear if somebody got one the past season, turkey, coon, groundhog, rabbit, pheasant, carp, trout and I can't remember what all they had. It was alot of fun. A barrel of beer, some home made Grand dads Dago red, playing cards, and hunting/fishing stories that got better with each beer and each telling. Some of it was good, some of it had a real gamey taste. Of course, drinking all those beers, those boys would eat anything!
I guess PETA would have shut us down if they existed back then....
I guess those boys were the original PETA, as BB sez, People Eating Tasty Animals!

Friend oldyaker,
I reckon it iz like most things in this ole world. Some folks jest bound ta take it too far. I got no use fer a fella that would hurt a animal jest fer fun 'er spite, but anybody figgers a piece a candy iz gwine ta learn the little pardners ta try ta run over animals jest aint rite.
I reckon I done some mean stuff ta animals when I wuz a little pardner, but by 'n by I seen how it warnt rite. It didnt come frum a bunch a folks throwin' blood 'er raisin' Cain over ta Colonel Harlan Sanders chicken cafe. It jest come frum inside me.
Same with basketball. It aint nuthin' wrong with it, but it jest aint rite ta show it on tv all the dang time. Jest the playoffs. :mrgreen:
Wonder why the High Sheriff aint got hiz own tv show....bout all the stuff he knows fer sho? Hmmm.....the TV Gods mite put a fine on him like they done Ole Howard Stern 'n Miz Janet when her wardrobe fell off?
Mebbe it aint such good idea fer the Sparkanator ta be on the tv? Mebbe he oughta do like Mister Clifford Jacobs 'n jest put out videos of all the stuff he knows fer sho. Wonder how long it would last? :wink:

Bro Bar, some people are just plain mean. I figger they have been that way for a spell now. Candy ain't gonna make anyone mean.
In fact I see a very good thing in this. How many accidents are the results of animals running across the road? How many deaths have been blamed on animals in the road, and the first reaction of the driver was to "avoid" those critters?
I recon a heap.
I preach to my wife to hit what ever comes out on the street rather than swing off the road and hurt or maybe kill herself , and any one inside the car with her. Yeah, sounds in-humane at first glance, but what is worth more? People or an animal.
I aide with the humans.
Maybe the candy will help some overcome the fear of hitting an animal rather than hurt themselves.
"Road apples" are everywhere around here. Snakes and frogs lead the list. Possums are not un-common either. Then there is the buzzards... they have to eat too...

Gummis candy vs fruit
If Kraft foods decided to make fruit gummis instead of candy ones I'd be all for it. The last thing I need is my little boy all hyped up on sugar trying to run over the neighboors cat on his big wheel. But it would be funny to watch.
