Hunting

PETA Finally has the right idea... or do they???

PETA has alway been on my nerves. However, today I was righting a speech for an upcomming exam on the benefits of bow hunting, hunting, and the outdoors in general. One of the requierements was to give the opposing side. So for that reason and that reason only, I went to PETA's website to get some information. I didn't stay on there long, but one thing caught my eye. The title of a video, "Skinned Alive" about fur farms in China. I clicked on it not realizing that it may change my life on how I look at China, not fur harvesting because we have done it for years and have always done it humanely. The video started out with your common disbatch of a coon, bop on head and kneel on chest. That, I didn't see as bad. The rest is history. From literally skinning them alive and leaving their still breating and much alive skinless bodies laying in a heaping pile. Fresh blood dripping from their bare noses. Now i know that this is not the case in all fur farms, but the way that PETA used that film was so peircing it really made me think about the people who give hunters and trappers a bad name. I reallize that I could have summed this up in a matter of sentances but I don't beleive I could have done it to the same effect. I wouldn't recommend ever going to that site or ever looking at those videos, and shame on PETA and the damn Chinese for making us ethical trappers and hunters look like savages.
