People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an animal rights group known for its outrageous campaigns to end animal use, has found a new forum in which to promote its anti-hunting agenda.


 


PETA has developed a website, http://helpingwildlife.com, which targets outdoor sports and wildlife population controls.  The site urges visitors to print and post “No Hunting” and “No Fishing” signs and to join or form anti-hunting organizations.  It calls on people to donate fishing tackle to the organization for use in anti-fishing demonstrations and “Fish Empathy Projects.”


 


The new website also attacks the traditional outdoor pursuit of trapping.  It urges visitors to protest trapping, calling it a “cruel, barbaric, and immoral activity.”


 


“PETA is constantly making efforts to grab attention and impose its anti-hunting, anti-fishing and anti-trapping rhetoric upon people,” said Bud Pidgeon, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance President. “This website, with its inaccuracies and half-truths, is just one more way the anti’s are attempting to end our outdoor traditions.”
