Santa has a message<\/a> for shoppers at the Coronado Center mall: You can avoid the \u201cnaughty\u201d list if you put down that hunting rifle. His Yuletide greeting, courtesy of PETA, can be found on artwork plastered right outside Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods and the airsoft shooting range All on Target. The message comes after a major camouflage gear supply company ranked the Duke City the top \u201chunting town\u201d in the nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen it comes to feeling pain and fear, loving their families, and valuing their own lives, deer are just like you and me,\u201d says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. \u201cPETA\u2019s cheeky cartoon encourages holiday shoppers to give wild animals some peace on Earth by saying no to hunting.\u201d<\/p>\n Hunters kill millions of animals every year and injure many others, allowing them to escape only to die slowly and painfully from blood loss or starvation. Orphans of parents killed by hunters are left vulnerable, too. Hunters have contributed to the extinction of species all over the world, including the Tasmanian tiger and the great auk.<\/p>\n PETA\u2014whose motto reads, in part, that \u201canimals are not ours to abuse in any way\u201d\u2014opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
