Your Kid Could Cause The Next Columbine
I ran across this story today while browsing a homesteading forum. Seems this lady in Asheville NC, who also is the Wildlife Correspondent for Peta (go figure), sent this letter in to the editor of the Asheville Citizen-Times.
I know most of you think like I do, that this is a bunch of B.S. But it does give you an idea of the type of people who we are dealing with. The sad thing is, the media is giving these kooks more and more air time, to the point of legitimizing them.
I'd also recommend reading the comments that were made.

It amazes me how some of this stuff gets published. Growing up in a house full of guns actually taught us how to respect firearms.
My opinion of PETA is they are so disrespectful and tasteless. I wouldn’t associate myself with them even if I did share some of their beliefs.
This is just the same load of crap that always comes from the PETA camp. They will twist the facts and obscure anything that is rational in order to promote their agenda.
Nothing will instill discipline, respect for nature, and love of the outdoors more than hunting will. You can read and find a number of facts that support the notion that kids who hunt and participate in the outdoors are less likely to be troubled or be in trouble.
Never will I listen to a person who is involved with an organization that supports domestic terrorism, kills animals itself, and then turns around and through scare tatics tries to tell me how to raise my kid or kids.
This is just silly. That’s like saying teaching a kid to cut their own meat will predispose them to use knives to kill. The hunters I know have more compassion, not less, for the animals they harvest.
The kids who pick up guns and shoot their classmates and teachers are the outsiders, the kids to whom no one pays attention. I’m guessing kids that are out in the woods hunting with thier parents won’t be in that group.
This just shows the inability of people to acknowledge the difference between animal cruelty and hunting. There is a difference between a teen torturing a cat by setting it on fire, and a child being taught to hunt ethically. But, I guess when hunting is equated with being cruel, then we end up with nut cases like this!
I grew up on a farm,6years old and brought home cotton tails from a walk to the canal about 1mile away,I carried My grandfathers Savage Crackshot single shot and if I could see it ,it was meat for the pot.I was 15 when I could aford a Shot gun and walked into Stieners Hardware and layed down a shotgun and 2 boxes of shells for the cost of $250.00 hard earned dollars howing weeds 12 hours a day for 50 cents an hour.I was set to go hunting with Dad and my brothers Duck and Goose hunting which we depended on as food to get by.Our school taught a hunters safety course and had a rifle club to compete with other schools.I would drive to school when I turned 16 and take my shotgun leaving it in the trunk,so after school I could get some goose hunting in before dark. There were those that wore long coats and caried sawed off shotguns under them suspended on a sling,mostly to play the bad ass role,but nobody ever was shot.I never thought about shooting anyone,things were setteled with fists and then forgoton.So I just dont know about kids nowdays.I feel that they are missing out on a part of our culture and maybe some of them have everything given to them,not knowing what a days work realy is.
