Trying to find out if anyone else is worried about this sudden increase in the number of celebrities supporting the efforts of PETA? This is something that is alarming me. Currently they are not attacking the industry using this method but I believe its just a matter of time before they turn there celebrity mascots on us. I've been trying to think of things we could do for the past couple of months now that could help offset this negative effect I see coming. But with out large amounts of capital I don't see much we can do to fight against it.

Just get photos of the celebs eating beef, wearing leather shoes, walking their dogs, fishing, etc. Then when they say they support PETA send the photos or videos to you tube and expose the hypocracy.
I am a big fan of PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals. Aren't you?
Kidding aside, the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) is the biggest problem of all. They support and fund PETA, and many other extreme activist groups that are against everything from the cattle industry to you name it. HSUS actually killed more dogs and cats than it helped get adopted last year, but they have great marketing people that spin it and hide the real numbers. They have managed to get so many people sucked in with their commercials, and people send them money like crazy, without realizing what they are actually supporting. There needs to be exposure on many levels, everywhere.

Here is an article about how the HSUS is worming their way in to states to try and ban beef and pork production for human consumption. If they can get that legislation passed anywhere, it gives them a foothold, and every other animal for consumption industry is in their sights - including hunting farm raised deer.
One of the best things that people can do is to join your state beef cattle organization, if for nothing else, so that you get the legislative updates as to what HSUS is up to and what needs to be done to block them.
Just start reading, you won't believe where the links take you and the "powerful" people that have drank the kool-aid and are on the HSUS bandwagon. It is sickening.

And take note someone from Peta Has to aprove any statement you make before it will be posted on the above link.
I could only read that stuff for about 2 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore. I'm pretty sure my personal hell would be in a room with all those people.There is something we can do. 10% of people are in the High Fenced industry or support high fence threw hunting, ect. 10% hate everything they can not control. 80% are sheep or general public on the fence. Think of ways to gain their support. Lets put a plan together threw our State ***, and NADeFA and focus on the 80%

That is what is worrying me. We don't have the type of financial resources that I see the Anti's throwing around. So how are we supposed to gain the public "leaders" support since that is all they seem to respond to is money. If we can get some big name people to join the hunting cause and public promote it then we'd be set. But peta is putting on a pretty good marketing campaign. I was listening ot the radio today and I heard Charlize Theron (spelling might be off) supporting PETA on a 15 or 30 second radio spot. And it wasn't something that I just heard once either.

They are very dangerous
Here is a little tid bit on Carrie Underwood - she was the PETA person of the year, but had managed to keep it fairly quite. Remember now, she is a ranch raised, beef eating girl until Hollywood got ahold of her. She was somehow booked as the star entertainer for the National FFA convention - oops. The President of the Texas FFA realized the faux pas, and led a march out of the convention when Underwood was set to take the stage.
That story never got any press - wonder why????

Thats exactly my point Robbie. They are slowly picking away at everything and using big named people to do it. This is a prime example of that. The average public respects Carrie Underwood so as she changes it will become a trend to follow. And people will do what she does right or wrong. The FFA didn't even realize as a whole what had happened when they booked her for the National FFA convention.
Here's a site the show many of the Celebrity's that are Supporters of PETA http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/15-peta
I would say this circumstantially links HSUS and PETA with our current issues with CWD.
HSUS is not particularly friendly toward the use of animals as food, either. In 1995, it launched its “Eating with a Conscience” campaign, directed by Howard Lyman. A strict vegan, Lyman is best known for his 1996 appearance on the “Oprah” television show, where he tried to scare consumers away from beef by claiming, incorrectly and recklessly, that mad cow disease would make AIDS “look like the common cold.” In a June 2005 interview, Pacelle said that HSUS is working on “a guide to vegetarian eating” and emphasized “reducing meat consumption” as one of HSUS’s goals.

I'm not surprised by any names on that list. I think in Hollywood it is fashionable to support PETA and I think those that openly do not are somewhat put down. I would bet half of those people don't even really know what PETA is all about. I would also bet most of them wear leather shoes or belts or handbags. They are TOTALLY out of touch with reality. I'm not sure many people really listen to them either since most people know Hollywood types aren't for real.
There is a another group that is the "green" group that is pushing all sorts of things that they don't have a clue about. For heavens sakes, they are actors - they aren't scientists or vets or farmers. Their opinion isn't any more valid than my next door neighbor's.
