[cool][#0000ff]People...especially PETA-ITES...allot far too much feeling and reasoning ability to birds, animals and fish. Only the highest ranking simians (monkeys) and cetaceans (whales and dophins) have brains with the ability to think and reason. Most of their actions and reactions are based upon instinct and learned behavior.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Terror is a concept that requires conscious thought processes. Fish ain't got it. Their struggles, when hooked, are only the most natural and instinctive efforts to get free and survive. For PETA to try to make the comparison between how humans would feel...and how fish REACT...is ludicrous. Of course, most of the garbage they lay on us is purely designed to create a FEELING reaction...not a REASONED reaction.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have always liked the question: "If PETA practitioners are so adamant about getting people to quit wearing animal skins, why don't they go hassle big bad bikers instead of throwing paint on little old ladies?" Answer: survival instinct.[/#0000ff]
