I hate hunters
-
Sick mofo[^] Especially the part where he says... My father John Charron Jr. grew up during the depression. He hunted out of necessity, but this quickly grew into a passion When I read this...I thought...man I would love to hunt the hunters. It'd be cool to hunt something that actually shot back, instead of some poor animal. My Dad hunted until I was about 3 and my mom talked him into stopping, thank god, cuz I wouldn't stand for it either. What a savage, stupid sport...pointless...and for any of those who may try and argue...unless your hunting out of necessity...your doing it for fun...either for the thrill of the kill or whatever reason, it's not required...and for any statistics that say...hunting is a required essential part of the ecosystem...blah blah blah... Humans are killing the planet faster than anything...so why not knock off a couple hunters instead. Man hunting makes me sick...although i'm not a vegetarian I feel it important to have a well balanced meal (fruits, vegs, meat, etc) but I stricly condemn hunting for pleasure. I feel we (as in N. Americans or Westerners) live in an advanced society and have plenty of pre-processed food readily available at grocery stores, which already probably gets wasted to some degree. There is simply no need to hunt. This message is not directed at anyone specifically...and I appologize if I sound irrational, but jesus...what that guy said really pissed me off...it's his passion to kill animals... :(( If we still lived in the old west i'd challenge him to a...uhh...standoff...hi-noon gun fight thing... :) Gees how depressing...I was feelin' fine til I read that...I just really hate to see any animal die...even though I know I consume certain meats, like chicken, beef, etc...i've often thought of going vegan, but i'm afraid i'd go postal or something...and seriously start hunting hunters...becuz of a protein defficiency or something weird. Appologies if I offended anyone, but for real quit hunting!!! If you do...of course were all advanced human beings whom rather program than take the life of an innocent animal, especially for fun...thats whats disturbing me. Cheers :) How do I print my voice mail?

The environment would be damaged far more quickly if we allowed them to get out of control as we have with ourselves. Paul says it quiote nicely above - "we are all animals". Why not let people who enjoy the experience do the dirty work. It might just help save the lives of other animals that would be killed for sport.

Whoever voted you down and didn't comment on why is pathetic and obviously doesn't understand this thing called the ecosystem. Time to go back to bio class, kids.

I'd like to give you 10 points, but 5 is the maximum. Killing a creature that can feel pain and fear is murder, no matter if it looks similar to a monkey or not. Of course, there was a time when people could not find enough food, so they had to eat animals. But today we can choose what to eat, we can be vegetarians, if we want to. So where's the reasons to go on killing without need? I stopped eating meat when I was ten years old - that means, I'm a "veggie" since 14 years ago. It works, believe me. :cool:
Sorry but you're talking rubbish killing an animal is not murder, murder is killing a human being. Look it up in the dictionary if you don't beleive me. We farm a small herd of beautifull pedigree cattle. We spend huge amounts of time looking after them. Yes the steers are killed after 2 and a half years, we'd like to keep them longer but the government won't allow it. But those animals have good lives and stay with their mothers. If people like us didn't farm the way we do the landscape where we live which has existed for thousands of years would simply disappear. Life for most animals in the wild is nasty brutish and short. Most wild animals don't make it at all to adulthood. Almost all of ours do. By the way if you still eat dairy products then you are a total hypocrite. Dairy animals are intensively farmed. The calves are seperated from their mothers at birth and the male calves are often killed straight away. If people ate less dairy products and more meat then there would be a market for these animals. Banning hunting in the UK is an appalling act motivated by prejudice and bigotry. Farmers who hunt maintain far more woodland on their farms. Every year millions of rats are poisoned in towns, peoples cats torture millions of mammals to death but nothing is done about any of that. Instead they persecute a few people in red coats because they are an easily identified minority. It's not eating meat that's the problem but the type of meat that people eat. Eat extensively farmed beef and lamb and you are encouraging good animal welfare.
MOO!!

What people don't realise about the UK bill is that it doesn't ban fox hunting it bans any body going out with a dog from chasing any wild mammal except a rabbit or a rat whether or not they are in control of that dog. How can I teach my dogs the difference between a rabbit and a hare? They will chase anything from squirrels to postmen. The fact is that Almost all dog walkers will be criminalised by this absurd legislation, but it will only be used to attack the small minority that the government actually wants to persecute.

People have been hunting since before they were human. We're part of the environment too, you know. The whole "nature" thing is pretty much: A. Eat sunlight B. Eat A C. Eat A and/or B There are quite a few things that fall into C: lions, bears, eagles, rats, spiders, killer whales, etc..., and I have a really hard time calling them good, evil, guilty, innocent, or any other anthropomorphic attribute that we attach to them. And before you get into the 'not for pleasure' stuff - killer whales are known to kill seals for fun (i.e. kill and toy with, but not eat). My two cats used to torture moles in my garage - literally! They would get one of the helpless little bastards in between the two of them, and they'd pretty much play soccer with it until it died. They never ate it - only toyed with it. what that guy said really pissed me off...it's his passion to kill animals... But you're a better person, since your passion is to eat animals, choosing to instead leave the dirty work of actually killing them to someone else? That's like the pacifist Dali Lama employing body guards... What about the hunters that enjoy the hunt, and then eat their kill (all of the ones I know do)? and for any statistics that say...hunting is a required essential part of the ecosystem...blah blah blah... You can "blah blah blah" at facts all you want - it just means you're incorrect. No species lives in magic harmony with its environment. Living in harmony with your environment means that you fit into A, B, or C above. -- Russell Morris "So, broccoli, mother says you're good for me... but I'm afraid I'm no good for you!" - Stewy
Are you saying that even with the awareness that being shot is horrific (ask someone who has been) that inflicting such suffering is fine to give yourself pleasure ? You quote animals who I doubt discuss this amongst themselves so that would make us worse than them. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Yeah, it can be pretty sad how some act about hunting. They claim it is the skill of the hunt as they get out there and use a riffle with a high powered scope to snipe an animal. Let them hunt with their bare hands and see how far it gets. That would show a real bear hunter :) I know, a lot of people enjoy it, and I live out here in Oregon, USA were there is a lot of hunting. But the truth be known, with many, it is mostly because guys want to get together, drink a bunch of beer, act macho and get away from their wives for a few days. It is nothing to go out deer or elk hunting and spend $500 or better along with days of your time to save a few hundred in beef from the store :) There is also the hunt of the perfect rack so that you can put it on your wall and brag to everyone how you slaughter that poor old animal that had meat tougher than shoe leather… Personally, unless you have to actually hunt for food (which eliminates 99% of the hunters), try a camera and leave the animals for those that need them. Maybe with all the "wasting" diseases (like Mad Cow for deer) out there in the wild game, it will slow down a bit. You have to keep in mind though, that the herds down in size so that they do not over populate.

I would gladly stop buying meat and only eat what I hunted. I might be using a scope, but I'm not creating a demand for the slaughter of animals in advance of my expressing an appetite. I would like to say, "It's been ages since I ate some good Rooibok or whatever, then go and get one, and eat it. What happens to meat that nobody buys?

We are all animals, Corinna. It's only the abuse and excess-use of other animals I have a problem with. And I'd like to make a bet that ten years from now they will find carrots have feelings* too... ;) * Call this what you will; Up until quite recently science deemed that fish did not feel as other animals did. This led many people to happily slaughter and eat fish but not other animals. It was then found out that fish do indeed feel just as we do.

but i _like_ meat i LIKE steak i LIKE lamb, i LIKE a hamburger and i LIKE to going to the gym and working out and doing my hapkido and i like beer too So i think i'm happy for animals to be used to feed me...and no i don't mind sticking a hook in a fishes face and i don't mind gutting and filleting it myself.

bryce wrote: but i _like_ meat i LIKE steak i LIKE lamb, i LIKE a hamburger Do you like the fact that the animals suffer terribly just so you can enjoy the simple "taste" of meat? Do you think it's justified? No. While I appreciate that people can and do eat meat, I think animals should be treated humanely as much as is possible. Right now, millions of animals suffer needlessly just for meat-eaters to enjoy their meat a little more than the equivalent vegetarian alternative. As for hunting for mere sport, it's disgusting and it's immoral. If you are not going to eat it, you have NO right to hunt it and kill it. "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff!

Paul Watson wrote: And I'd like to make a bet that ten years from now they will find carrots have feelings* too... The argument against the abuse of animals, whether it be mistreatment or killing for sport is that as mammals we should be able to empathise with them and it's not just about whether an animal can feel "pain" or not, it's that animals have emotions, they experience pain, fear, pleasure, and they can even dream. An animal knows what fun is, anyone who has owned a dog can surely understand that. Carrots? Well, I suspect the situation is somewhat different for them ;) "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff!

This is bringing up the whole Animal Rights vegetarian issue. For the record, my Fiancée is vegetarian, and I'm happy to eat meat (tho do so seldomly, as it's far easier just to cook veggie meals!) About a year ago we found a rabbit in the middle of the road, with very bad Myxomatosis. We took it to the vet, who said she couldn’t do anything, so had to put it down. This upset me, (the silly, soppy thing that I am,) that the poor animal had been miserable, and died a needless death - The vet said it’s normal in infected rabbits that they just loose the will to live, and go and sit in the middle of the road to die. My fiancée then questioned me on why I was happy to have animals die so I could eat them, yet upset by this rabbit dying. What I told her (which is totally what I believe) is that if an animal dies to provide me food, then, in my opinion, it died a noble death, and I am grateful of it’s sacrifice for me (back to the whole natural food chain bit) – I will always make an effort to buy better quality organic/free range meat whenever there’s an option - for another thing, it just tastes much better!) I’m a complete pacifist, and would never want to kill anything just for the pure sake of killing it, but I know in my heart that if I was in a situation where killing an animal would provide food to keep me alive, then I would have to do it. Really it’s supermarkets to blame. If you ask a kid where milk comes from, they’ll probably tell you it was from Asda (or whatever chain their parents shop at), and will often be genuinely surprised if you make the connection between the cute pink things they’ve seen in animal parks and the sausages on their plate. We all know that an animal had to die so that we can have meat on our plates, but most people are happy to just forget about it (or think “hell, they’re not human, who gives a toss if they suffer”) -- Help me!

benjymous wrote: We all know that an animal had to die so that we can have meat on our plates It's equally true to say that an animal had to live to put food on your plate. If we didn't eat meat and drink dairy products then there would be no cattle in the world. Don't they have a right to exist. An animal on a well tended livestock farm would never have suffered like that live rabbit as the farmer would either have treated it or have put it out of it's misery before it got so bad. The simple fact is that almost all animals are in the wild are killed by other animals ie hunted. Those that aren't (ie ones at the top of the food chain) die a long miserable and painfull death. If we can give animlas a good quality of life by farming them then that's a good thing.

Here's another point to think about, for all the hunters here on CP (not for you, Hockey, it's for the guys who don't understand your text). Imagine you had four children. They are playing outside. Now a big animal appears and eats two of your kids. I know what you would think in this situation: That's nature. Animals eat other animals, there's nothing to worry about. I still have two kids left, so my species won't die out. You don't feel it's natural to be eaten by animals? No?! Why not?

Giles Bradshaw wrote: Eat extensively farmed beef and lamb and you are encouraging good animal welfare. Rubbish. It is not up to the consumer to implement humane practice in the meat industry, it is the industry itself. Unfortunately, the industry has shown time and time again that it is completely incapable or just merely reluctant to police itself. Terrible cruelty and suffering happens all the time, and if the public were made aware of it, I'm sure action would be taken. The meat industry that so many people are prepared to defend is not even prepared to open its doors to inspection, and there is no way you will get to see the operations of the abattoir on the evening news while you eat your dinner. There's no way our children will be taken on school trips to see the slaughtering process, and why? Because the slaughter of animals is a terrible sight to witness, and one that requires the hardest of hearts or wills to stomach. Of course, humans are quite capable of abstracting away the suffering of animals to suit their desire and I guess that supermarkets will never show videos of the slaughtering process at the meat counter. Does anyone else find it strange that the way meat is prouduced has to be hidden away from public view? Surely if it were perfectly natural and morally justifiable in the modern world, we would have no reservations about our children understanding and witnessing the process in all its gory detail.

Yet more absolute rubbish. No-one is going to be charged with a criminal offence if their dog chases the odd squirrel. It's just another myth that the pro-hunt lobby clings to and wishes to perpetuate simply to give their bloodsport more chance of being allowed to continue. Seriously, do you honestly think people will listen to this sort of crap and believe it? Regarding your dogs' liking for postman's leg, have you ever heard of a "lead" or even "training"?
