Wow, this is pretty gutsy even for PETA. I understand standing up for what you think is right, but isn't attempting to turn children against their parents taking it a bit far?

I suspect they may have overdone it on this time; the public will be more outraged by the material that PETA is attempting to put into children's hands than they will about the ramifications of fishing on the well-being of fish. If PETA keeps up these extreme acts they're going to end up as a fringe movement that nobody takes seriously at all. Last I checked, that's not a very good way to affect change.

As an aside, my daddy does, in fact, kill animals. He's a butcher. I've been on the kill floor and I've watched him work. So far as I can tell I turned out okay.
