In fact, farmers, ranchers, and outdoor-sportsmen are the best conservationists on earth, because we all know that these animals represent our living and the continuation of our hunting, fishing and trapping. I say all this in preface to a list of some recent accomplishments and requests made by our well-intentioned but mislead brethren from the animals-rights activist group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.)
