Would You Legally Change Your Name for the Animals?
Can you think of the most extreme way to step out on behalf of animals, forcing people to think about animal rights everytime they think of you?
If you said legally change your name to reflect your beliefs, then you must be just as odd-ball gung-ho as Rachel (nee Feather) FishingHurts.
Let that sink in for just a moment.
Rachel Feather, 21, Flagstaff, Arizona, is now legally Ms. FishingHurts. The unique activist has been a vegetarian since age 13 and wanted to find a way to bring light to the “forgotten animal.” Her new surname was inspired by PETA and their Web site of the same name - FishingHurts.com.
All fins in the air for Ms. Rachel FishingHurts, but I think that I will stick to less life-changing activism.

UPDATE AND CORRECTION: Check out the comments - Ms. FishingHurts left a brief note letting us know that she dropped Rachel, too. It’s legally just FishingHurts. I wonder if she has any good nicknames yet … Fish, FH, FishyFish, It Hurts! …

Hey!
It’s actually just FishingHurts, no first name anymore.
Thanks for the support and for everything that you do for the animals.
