[HBR] Checking In -- And A Recommendation

[Bob AH7I]

PETA=People Eating Tasty Animals!
What the heck are they pulling up your way?
I've had no problem with hunting/fishing in GA and HI.
They are worried about raising work animals?
They should be in Atlanta looking at the 'bush meat' trade.
In Atlanta, I can buy smoked monkey from Africa!

I can also buy live turtle and armadillo for dinner, legally (which I have
no problem with as there is no shortage of either)
