Default The letter I sent to Bill O'Reilly

Mr. O'Reilly,

I appreciate you giving Mr. Sexton the opportunity to stand up for hunting and conservation. We do not get very many chances on national television to do this. You gave him a great opportunity, but he did not capitalize very well when you brought up the PETA group. I think Mr. Sexton could have taken that opportunity to tell the public what hunting and true conservation does for all wildlife and habitat as compared to the big nothing from PETA, the HSUS and the other extreme animal rights groups. The bottom line is if people enjoy wild places and viewing wildlife they should be thanking hunters and the many pro-hunting conservation groups of today. PETA would have us all eating grass and wearing plastic shoes if they had their way.
As far as comparing law abiding conservation minded hunting to dog fighting; this is simply just another professional athlete showing his ignorance. I really hope the general public is a lot smarter than that.

Thank you very much,

P.S. Good job exposing the politicians who support and protect illegal aliens.

Chad,
If it wasn't for the fact you are such an honest guy - you would be good in politics! Good job.
