Now here is an interesting read...

On the one hand, we've got the Sierra Club, a well-intentioned enviro group that generally is supportive of hunting and fishing, even if they can get extreme when it comes to accessing places to both hunt and fish.

On the other hand, we've got the Sea Shepherds and PETA. Sea Shepherds, also well-intentioned, but openly admitting of being straight up eco-terrorists...and PETA, I think we all know what a bunch of yahoos and whackos they are.

Paul Watson, leader of the Sea Shepherds, got himself elected to the Sierra Club BOD last year...and this year at a PETA rally told the folks there that if they can just get three more of "their types of folks" elected to the Sierra Club BOD, they will change the entire agenda of that organization (the Sierra Club).

So, we've got the director of Sea Shepherds, using his position as a board member of the Sierra Club, to openly and clearly admit that he'd like to co-opt the entire membership base and political power of the Sierra Club and make it into another PETA organization.

Good call, Fun5!

It's worse than swimming right after a meal!

Fish on...

I had to deal with the two fire bombings of animal labs in one night in the county where I work. If deputies or any other member of the public would have been near the bombs when they went off, they might have easily been killed.

If that would have happened, I'm sure the terrorists would have justified their actions as "necessary." I can't believe Watson, who inspires these nuts, is still breathing. He's just another oxygen thief.

Whale and seal poaching is bad and he's worse.
