PETA Attempt to mess up hunters - backfires
PETA Fails in Attempt to Thwart Hunters Assoc. Press� (Columbus, OH)

If you are familiar with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), then you are aware of the fact they will do almost anything to protect animals.� This year's efforts to save Ohio's deer from the annual statewide gun season has backfired.

For safety's sake, hunters in Ohio are required by law to display at least 400 square inches of hunter's blaze orange on their person when in the woods.� Capitalizing on the fact that hunters do not usually shoot orange, PETA recently bulk purchased blaze orange vests and have been affixing them to live-trapped deer in Youngstown suburbs.� According to PETA spokesperson Katie Reese, a total of 405 vests were successfully put into circulation prior to this week, with additional specimens still being caught and vested.

Youngtown entrepreneur Guy Lockey, of Guy's Outdoors has spit in the face of PETA by offering rewards for the returned vests this week. Hunters who can successfully bag a vested deer can pay $5 for random and biggest animal awards.� As of Tuesday, 308 of the vests had already been recorded as bagged with most of the hunters registering for Mr. Lockey's drawing.

It's so easy, you can see them coming a mile away" said one first year hunter after checking in his first spike buck.

ODNR officials are worried that the poorly thought out plan by PETA might get somebody shot instead of saving the deer.� "Hunters have turned their plan upside down, we're just hoping that nobody gets hurt and are hoping that none of the vested animals get tangled in brush" said an unnamed ODNR official.� "PETA has really outdone itself this time." Ohio's statewide gun season is open to shotguns only and is scheduled to close on Saturday.

ROTFLMAO! Love it when a plan comes together........ Dutch.

Perfect. Maybe we should start a fund for them so they can buy even more for next year.

Ha ha

Up here in the Northwoods, PETA stands for People Eating Tasty Animals....

Maybe next year PETA members will wear deer hides to confuse hunters, nahhh, they couldn't be that stupid---could they?

If Elmer didn't say it, it probably ain't true.

That's a Classic!
Maybe the deer will be wearing extra thick kevlar next season...

I hope next year they put the weight & rack size (B&C) on the vest too!

Thats a good one, but you are all missing the point PETA was trying to do! They wanted some hunter to make a mistake and shoot another hunter. This is how they operate. Here were I live they shoot road signs and do all kinds of vandalism so that hunter may get the blame. These people are dangerous, and it will be only a matter of time that the Justice Dept. Uses RICO statues against them. With the current Terror War going on, in time I think they will go after PETA and Alf with as much gusto as we are going after the Talaban and Osima Ben Ladden. Ranchers and Labs have been puting up with this garbage for too long.

I wish they would do that around here. Without snow, they're difficult to see until they're fairly close. It would help greatly. Just goes to show you how truly STUPID AND UNEDUCATED those "people" really are.
