    Pawlenty rejects PETA `fish empathy’ request

    Associated Press

    ST. PAUL – Gov. Tim Pawlenty has given the hook to PETA’s request to declare Minnesota’s state fish off-limits to fishing.

    The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had asked Pawlenty to protect the walleye pike from anglers.

    In a response, Pawlenty said in a prepared statement on Tuesday that PETA should “stay out of Minnesota’s proud fishing lifestyle.”

    The governor added on Tuesday that because of PETA’s letter, he planned to go out for a walleye dinner.

    Karin Robertson, manager of PETA’s “Fish Empathy Project,” had written to Pawlenty last week. She argued that fish feel pain, and said fishing amounted to cruelty to animals.

    I loved it!!!

    If that were to ever happen it would destroy the economy in Minnesota. Even the Minnesota Peta members wouldn’t survive. Don’t they ever think?

    Thanks, Bill

    I’m very proud to have Pawlenty as my governor! He has got to be one of the best governors in the nation.
