Can You Detect the Trick PETA Pulled on the Miami Marlins in This Message?

Look close — very close. Can you detect the anti-fishing message that PETA sneaked into this brick that is now forever encased in the new Miami Marlins stadium?
Give up? Well, if you take out the first letters of each word, it directs you to a website: fishinghurts.com (which really just redirects you to a PETA website).
Clever, eh?
PETA thought so, although in a press release it might give itself a little too much credit:
As you may have detected, the first letters of the words in this message spell out “FishingHurts.com,” a Web address that brings up a page on PETA’s website about the cruelty involved in fishing and the reasons to give fish a break. Yep, it’s a hidden message placed by PETA—after all, when animals’ lives are on the line (pun intended), why limit attention-getting pranks about fish to April Fools’ Day?
The truth is no one would have probably figured it out if PETA wouldn’t have explained it. But PETA is still pretty proud of itself.
The engraved paving stone is located in the East Plaza of the new stadium.

Posted on April 5, 2012 at 3:41pmIt’s hard to understand why some people enjoy activities where animals are hurt or killed. Those persons do not like to think about the pain and trauma animal is feeling nor the place may be has in his family, group or habitat. Is easier to be rude and cruel with animals but really is the lack of empathy and understanding. Some can make fun of this but it is a sad humane condition. And yes, animals also can feel pain and fear.
Report Post »jpclarksville
Posted on April 5, 2012 at 5:57pm@Anamah: Experiments have shown that plants can also feel, so should we stop eating veggies too? Think of the torture they go through when a vegetarian plows through the lettuce with a pair of shears, or ripping those poor carrots out of the ground. They’re stuck, they can’t run away like animals.
But what it really comes down to is this pesky little thing called hunger. Most people enjoy eating their protein in the form of meat. Real hunters do not torture the animals they’re hunting, it ruins the meat, plus it’s a pain in the hindend to have to track them down, so the best of the best take one shot and drop them instantly. Only morons take sound shots. PETA is an anti animal site that has managed to brainwash a lot of people.

Posted on April 8, 2012 at 1:44am@Anamah explain for us if you will…..how a human fetus might feel about 1 second before the abortion occurs. Don’t preach to us about animal pain unless you are prepared to support your premise by admitting that human abortion is also a pain inducing event….go ahead call humans animals if you like….I don’t mind….but either way…whether you place your endearment to the feathered, the finned, and the four legged…. above your endearment or disdain of human beings….you cannot escape the notion of pain in the killing of an unborn human fetus. Your heart whistles like a root snatched from dry earth….and that is why PETA so often comes across as an entire lot of complete lunatics. Now if you will excuse me….I am going into my kitchen and make a lovely roast beef and cheese sandwich and when I bite into a potato chip I will think of you….for just exactly about as long as that one second right before the abortionist switches on the vacuum pump.

Posted on April 5, 2012 at 6:44pmThe saddest part of PETA is their care program for homeless and injured animals – euthanize. PETA kills 84% of all animals given to them for care within 24 hours. Pretty efficient !! — And no they aren’t eaten nor are they buried, they’re discarded. So don‘t send your pet fish to PETA when you are tired of them they’ll just end up in the trash with the neighbor’s lost dog.

To the people who go beyond the trying to conserve what God gave us and going into the crazy world. If you really believe that animals are the true rulers of the planet and humanity has overstepped it’s bounds may I pose this question to you. If that is the case why do we have to protect the animals from us not protect us from the animals? Using Darwin’s theory of adaptation, humans are the top of the evolutionary chain to date. So please since most eco activists don’t believe in God. Just let evolution take it’s course.
