Interesting! But now I'm a little worried!

PETA Wants to Ban Youth Hunting
After a young boy allegedly shot his father and another man in Arizona, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent a letter to Arizona's governor insisting that hunting be banned for those under the age of of 18. Apparently, the shooting followed a prairie dog hunt. "PETA always uses the most distasteful tactics to make headlines," says Rick Story of the U.S. Sportman's Alliance. "A ban on hunting for those under 18 will prohibit thousands of law-abiding, responsible sportsman and their children from engaging in a time-honored tradition."
I recall that my dad first took me hunting at the age of 12, gave me my frist gun, a Savage over and under. He spent the whole day teaching me about gun safety, how to load, how to aim etc. I'll never forget that day. And now PETA wants to take that experience away from the kids and their fathers and grandfathers?
