Being a dedicated fisherman, hunter, and general outdoorsman, I am disgusted with PETA. Humankind is at the top of the food chain, and need not apologize. I regularly practice catch and release on green fish (trout and salmon are so tasty), self restraint on birds that may not be collected cleanly, and if it were possible, I would gladly practice catch and release bird hunting.
Anytime a fish or gamebird has expired in my possesion it is bittersweet, intentional or otherwise. It has never been the kill, it has always been about the thrill of the chase, the knowledge required and gained, and the comaraderie of fathers, wives, sons, daughters, etc.
These are things that liberal bleeding hearts will never appreciate.
