I attended the Outdoorama this evening and talked with the guys at the Dove Hunting Booth (Sorry, I can't remember the actual group) Got home, got thinking and did a little searching. I'm certain we have all read these quotes in the past but they need to be posted again. This is only a small sampling of the people we are up against. Just Google anti hunting quotes and you will be into a ton of info.
This is the link to the quotes below. Read these, they might make your skin crawl. We cannot comprimize with these people, they want to eliminate hunting, eliminate pets, eliminate all domesticated animals, hamburgers, Bar B Qued chicken and brats on the grille. It isn't a joke.
I bolded a few of my favorites, or most disturbing. This is only the tip of the iceburg.

"If you haven't given voluntary human extinction much thought before, the idea of a world with no people in it may seem strange. But, if you give it a chance, I think you might agree that the extinction of Homo Sapiens would mean survival for millions, if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species ... Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental." "Les U. Knight" (pseudonym), "Voluntary Human Extinction," Wild Earth, Vol. 1, No. 2, (Summer 1991), p. 72.
"We feel that animals have the same rights as retarded human nchild because they are equal mentally in terms of dependence on others." Alex Pacheco, Director, PETA, New York Times, January 14, 1989.

"I am not a morose person, but I would rather not be here. I don't have any reverence for life, only for the entities themselves. I would rather see a blank space where I am. This will sound like fruitcake stuff again but at least I wouldn't be harming anything." Ingrid Newkirk, founder, president and former national director, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA), as quoted in Chip Brown, "She's a Portrait of Zealotry in Plastic Shoes," Washington Post, November 13, 1983, p.

"What could be the basis of our having more inherent value than animals? Their lack of reason, or autonomy, or intellect?
