Man has been fishing for ages. It is a wholesome activity that keeps me, a 17-year-old senior at Cox High School and president and co-founder of the Cox Anglers Club, and many other kids out of trouble.
PETA's attack on fishing sickens me. It has now gone too far.
I and my club members are staunch conservationists and will not take from the sea what we do not need; but we are also avid fishermen, and an attack on fishing is an attack on us. PETA should lighten up and get a life.
