PETA tries to stop City Kids Fishing Program
A free fishing program for kids held at Bridgeports' Beardsly Zoo has been targeted by PETA. The program offered by the CT DEP's CARE program holds classes at different sites in the summer for city kids and throughout the year for everyone.
PETA's "Fish Empathy Project" director Karin Robertson, who is an expert in mind reading, said that the "children are unhappy." PETA
relies on false data to support their belief that fish are intelligent and believes that fish schools are actually older fish teaching younger fish.
Fishing is more than catching fish and the CARE program reflects this. Kids are taught about natural resources, pollution, ethics, animal behavior and an opportunity to learn a life long hobby.

Why are people like PETA still allowed to roam the earth. I tell ya what, they should be labeled as terrorist and be sent to GITMO ASAP
GITMO is busy right now. BUT the IRS can certainly look into PETA and their 501(c)3 status.
