Dave,

I want to thank you for posting. Earlier their were some posts on here about laws that restrict fishing activities in our private ponds, laws which some Forum members support.

The PETA folks are not stupid, as they might appear sometimes. They know that the way to kill something is to regulate it to death, with behind the scenes lobbying.

I believe we should all be vigilant to watch out for those laws and try to reverse ones that are already in place which unreasonably restrict fishing activities in our private ponds. We need laws, reasonable laws, but not those which are driven by hidden agendas by the PETA folks and such.
