Well, to the person who said they especially hate it when people hunt with a gun because they have no chance, think about it for a minute. Would you rather they, A. Get shot and go down relatively quickly or B. Get shot with an arrow and run around for hours and hours with an arrow sticking out of them, getting caught on branches and yanking at them and causing more agony?
Go to Kentucky hun, in the far Western end..
..because there, either the hunters don't know what a killshot is, or they are just pathetic with a rifle. Out there, we were driving on the way home and noticed a lot of deer dead on the side of the road, caught in fences, collapsed in ditches, and even along railroad tracks. None of this is because of cars or trains.. It was because of hunters who COULD NOT do a proper killshot. The deer gets shot enough to be wounded and flees in terror, only to get strangled on line fences, trip on tracks, or (worse thing ever) get shot by
another hunter/ get hit by a motor vehicle. I was only horrified because those poor souls had to live their last moments of life in terror and pain because the person(s) hunting couldn't kill properly. -.-;; There is something called a firing range, you dolts! Practice on it sometime before you shoot a living thing!
i am apple pie
i was going down to the gas station and this gut had a real deer with no head and it was skinned hanging from his grawge.i just think hunters are very evil people.... who has the heart to:1.shoot an animal
2.skin an animal
3.eat it or display heads when they are done
i hate all thise people!
crying My great uncle and his son hunted for sport and I've never had a problem with it. My father came from a family (in Kentucky) where death to an animal wasn't uncommon -- be they domestic or wild. Chickens were slaughtered by hand every other day for dinner. They had dogs to help them hunt squirrels, raccoons, deer, rabbits, and every other piece of flesh considered tasty. Even when I had to sit in countless dens with enough deer heads and antlers to make a separate herd, it never bothered me. Although they, my great uncle and his son, hunt for sport now and then, they did it not too often -- and they always shared the meat with the family if they couldn't consume it all themselves. And let me testify, I thought I would never grow to like deer meat until they gave me some BBQ portions. x-X It was the craziest, tastiest thing I've ever consumed. Living in the wild did something to give it that KICK in your mouth.. Mmmmhhhmmmm..
Either way, it isn't fair to call hunters evil -- they are following through with what we did as nomadic people waaaaaay back in the day. Although the people back then hunted only for food, in this modern day and age, food is at the grocery store (a simple drive away). It's a wonderful feeling to return to your ancestorial roots and walk in the shoes of what your elders must have done. Sneaking through the trees, following the marks of the animal like a trained tracker, and putting yourself in the position of the predator. It's a much better feeling than walking down the cold meat aisle and plucking freshly cut beef cutlets from the lineup, in my opinion (and I haven't even experienced hunting yet). But what you think is your opinion and I will not argue with that..
..I just don't like the concept of you calling them evil. Poachers are evil. Black market folks are evil. Bull fighters are evil. Insurance companies are evil (don't ask). But hunters are NOT evil. The people I consider evil these days are those waltzing about and shaking their fingers in my face for consuming a hamburger or having meatballs in my spagetti sauce when they (of all PEOPLE) should talk because who's to say vegetable don't feel pain? They're a living being.. They breath, eat, and drink.. Aren't vegetarians killers in their own sense? The only difference is your hunting utensils are forks and boiling pot instead of a rifle or pistol. There is no right or wrong side to what human beings eat. I wish people would try to understand that.
