I found the first paragraph funny. Apparently the guy doesn't appreciate that in the Land of 10,000 lakes, fishing is the primary draw for many state parks. In these cases, eliminating fishing in state parks would eliminate THE PARKS, as opposed to relieving "the pressure of encroachment, underfunding, overcrowding, and pollution. You'd think that would be logical wouldn't you? Of course, many of the things PeTA does could be questioned as logical.

....and the report they refer to is on the national park system not the state park system --
they have the nerve to talk about 'ethics' when they blatantly use half-truths and deception in their arguments.
