WASHINGTON Activists from the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals stood outside the U.S. Capitol handing out pamphlets in front of an exhibit they called "Animal Liberation. Like many PETA efforts, this one, in mid-August, employed jarring imagery some might find religiously offensive. A billboard depicted a gaunt Holocaust prisoner next to a picture of a laboratory monkey, noting that both were "experimented on."

• People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals: ; It's Time to Rethink Youth Hunting

In just one week recently, a 7-year-old boy was fatally shot by his 10-year-old brother as they were hunting deer with their father in Virginia and a 14-year-old was shot and killed during a squirrel- hunting trip in Wisconsin. Another teen was flown to the hospital after he was shot in the leg while deer hunting in West Virginia. Most people wouldn't dream of handing a child a loaded gun and hoping for the best. Yet that seems to be exactly what some parents are doing when they encourage their children to hunt. In an effort to revive this dying blood sport, states across the country are loosening hunting restrictions and putting loaded weapons into younger and younger hands.

• Peta Files Suit Against Seaworld: ; Group Accusing Parks of Enslaving Killer Whales

SAN DIEGO - A federal court is being asked to grant constitutional rights to five killer whales who perform at marine parks - an unprecedented and perhaps quixotic legal action that is nonetheless likely to stoke an ongoing, intense debate at America's law schools over expansion of animal rights. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is accusing the SeaWorld parks of keeping five star-performer whales in conditions that violate the 13th Amendment ban on slavery. SeaWorld depicted the suit as baseless.
