Author Robert Arlen is an animal lover who has also owned two different pet stores. Yet, he increasingly found fault with the way the animal rights agencies do business to achieve their goals. Wanting to have some fun, he created PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS, a book of recipeshe intends to poke fun at such groups and generate lauther.

Arlen provides real-sounding, intricate recipes for such dishes as Cheetah Chimichanga, Barbecued Beaver and Cat Tacos. He suggests people savemoney by eating the meat of their 50-pound poodle when it dies, and he points out that a beached whale could be an economical meal choicethat could simply supple enough meat for an entire family reunion. Filled with color illustrations, the book is designedto be placed on the coffee table, opened at any page and shared with friends.

PETA attacks shark attack victim, says "Payback is Hell"


SARASOTA --
Following an apparent shark attack in the Bay area this weekend, the animal rights organization PETA has announced plans to run an outdoor advertising campaign attacking a recent Bay area shark attack victim.
The organization plans to promote an ad that shows a human "drumstick" hanging out of a shark's mouth, next to the words "Payback Is
 Hell. Go Vegan."
The organization will put the ad on benches and billboards near Anna Maria Island, they said will promote their claim that "the deadliest killers in the water aren't sharks -- they're humans."

"Humans hook, spear, maim, and kill fish for 'sport' every day," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "The most dangerous predator of all is the one holding the fishing rod or standing at the 'all you can eat' seafood buffet."

The organization said fish are aware of their surroundings, have complex nervous systems, and feel pain.
In a Skype interview, Campaign Director Ashley Byrne said, "We are very glad that Mr. Wickersham is going to be ok, but we do hope that this painful and frightening experience makes him think about the pain and fear that he’s causing to fish -- and other fisherman are causing to fish.”
The campaign comes after Longboat Key resident Charles Wickersham, 21, was bitten by an apparent shark while he was spearfishing several miles off the coast of Anna Maria Island.

Wickersham remains in intensive care after the apparent shark attack.

Wickersham and a group of friends were fishing out in the Gulf Saturday when Wickersham yelled something bit him on his left thigh.

Friends took Wickersham, or CJ, as he is known, to shore. Manatee Co. EMS met the boat in the Rod and Reel Pier area of Anna Maria Island around 3 p.m. Saturday
