This is an email sent to the p.e.t.a.(People Eating Tasty Animals) web site.
I got a kick out of it.
I wonder where in the world this guy has observed this particular method of hunting? It sounds like a lot of fun, but counter productive for putting meat on the table.
I will say this for old Dan, he is a better speller that most of peta's hate mail correspondents, and uses far less profanity.
Yes, heavily armed maniac, you've got yourself a web page. You were able to
take some time off from stalking through the woodlands in a Sherman tank,
using craft, cunning, and a LAW antitank rocket launcher to blow small,
helpless animals into little pieces. I know I should be tolerant, after all,
you're a cruel man who advocates the mutilation of kittens and the
cold-blooded killing, starvation, and poisoning done to rats and any other
animal that the scientists could get their hands on. I know you love to see
your wife dressed up in that beautiful mink, leopard, or fox, without
considering that that fox suffered for a week in that trap, in unspeakable
pain, with his only recourse being gnawing off his own leg.to escape. Or how
about that leopard? Bet you didn't know how he was killed. A heated metal
rod was shoved in his ass, so there would be no unsightly bullet holes.
Would you like that type of pain, hm? What about clubbing of baby seals by
gangs of men in the Arctic? And let's not forget your claims that you were
noticed by Rush Limbaugh and several newspapers. Let's not forget why they
are doing this.
IT GETS MEDIA ATTENTION.
These shows are only there to attract viewers. They want something
sensational, it brings in viewers and makes the sponsors happy, because their
products are being sold. You are just another shock, put there to make people
read it, because they want to hear about something that is new. You are
Current Affair material in purest form.
And you try not to realize this. You go on, saying that hunting is a noble
tradition, that it teaches millions of youngsters valuable skills, that you
are some of the pillars of society,
that these animals would die from starvation anyways, that guns are needed
for self-protection, that America was founded on hunting. (Insert Battle
Hymn of the Republic here)
But it's all a lie. The NRA tries to make it seem true, on the theory put
forth by Adolf Hitler that if you tell big lies all the time, eventually
people will believe you. You do not need to hunt. It is not necessary.
There is a thing called a grocery store. There should be one in your town.
You can buy meat there. It is a lot cleaner and nicer to prepare than
venison.
And fur-if there is an industry so self-promoting and so disgusting, it would
have to be the tobacco industry. Both kill millions. Both hire lots of
lawyers. Both are throughly disgusting. Both should be outlawed.
And the starvation factor. This has been quoted often. "Deer would starve
to death if we didn't kill them." True. But who made it that way? Us. We
killed the wolves, we killed the mountain lion, we killed all their natural
predators till we had to become their artificial predators.
Guns-give me a break. There is a Mad magazine article, containing new names
for modern devices. Underneath Handgun is "Random Loved One Eliminator".
Every year, children are killed because they found Daddy's loaded handgun.
Hunting accidents wipe out far more than all wildlife deaths combined for
the last 10 years. Guns should be outlawed except for police work, and I
know that criminals will still get them. But would you rather have your
children at risk from your handgun?
So that's my speech. I hope that you post it up. Because maybe, somewhere,
some hunter will look at it and think about it. I know you won't, but maybe,
just maybe someone else will.
And a final note.
I hope that you continue hunting, wearing furs, and mutilating animals in a
lab all your life.
And then, when you die, and you are standing before the gates of Heaven...
You find out that God is a raccoon.
