Sponsorships: PETA objects to fishing show.
For the sake of all fish, Eli Lilly and Co. should bail out of its sponsorship of Bassmaster fishing tournaments, says People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

In a letter to the Indianapolis drug maker, PETA says Lilly is "paying for cruelty to animals on a massive scale" through its one-year sponsorship of Bassmaster University's weekly fishing television show. Lilly and Icos Corp. use the sponsorship to promote their co-marketed male impotence pill Cialis.

"Eli Lilly would never sponsor tournaments that involved impaling dogs or cats with hooks through their mouths," the PETA letter says. "Treating fish this way is no better."

Lilly had no comment on the letter. The company referred to a statement on its Web site that says "we have an ethical and scientific obligation to ensure the appropriate treatment of animals."
