To be an anti-hunting omnivore smacks of hypocricy.
So is pretending that most hunting is done primarily to catch food. Just admit that you like killing animals as a sport.
99% of hunters are not wild mountain men having to live off the land with only their trusty rifle keeping them from starvation.
Also, how far away from the highway were they? You could be 10 miles away and still "shoot towards it". And I'm curious if the animal huggers were trespassing on the private land - if so, they should be arrested.
I thought trespass was a civil matter, not one requiring arrest?
If you fly ANY sort of "Drone" over my property, I'm going to shoot it down, and I don't give a fuck what the law says.
Do you keep SAM missiles handy in case commercial airliners fly over?
A shame you can't arm the next one.
Are the drones powerful enough to carry a GE M134 minigun? Just curious!
South Carolina has a hunter harassment law.
What, like a hundred bucks if you bag one?
Yes, the guy is a huge idiot. You don't run toward the guys with the guns, you want to run away from them (let alone, flying down in a parachute, that's like putting a bulls-eye on your head).
He useed non-violent direct action. I know it's not as cool as dressing in black combat gear and sniping at policemen as they sit in their cars, but hey,each to his own.
PETA is basically a home grown terrorist organization, boo hoo. So they pissed some hunters off, they got what they had coming. No news here.
If pissing peple off now counts as terrorism, then the real terrorists have indeed won.
Have you ever seen a domestic cat kill birds? They kill them for the excitement. And you can bet the cat does not like to give the pigeon a chance, and they mostly don't eat what they catch.
If you are going to anthropomorphize animals, you are well on the way to conceding that they have equal rights to huumans, which was probably not your intention.
Cats are cute and furry when it suits them, but still basically highly evolved killing machines. There is little difference between a wild tiger and a domestic cat apart from size.
If a cat sees something catchable they will attack it, they're not going to think to themselves "ah, sod it, I know I've got some cat biscuits inside so I can't be bothered catching.that plump pigeon".
One of the most reviled types of hunts are fox hunts, presumably because they're prolonged and stressful to the animal, and done purely for entertainment.
The best argument against fox hunting (here in the UK anyway) is to listen to some of the fucking twats who participate in it.
Red-coated stinking thieves that they are, they make the fox look relatively cute.
Yes, PETA is trying to get antislavery law to be applied against animals, which if successful will seriously change everything...
No, PETA is just trolling the media for lots of free publicity. They're very good at it.
Well, they want publicity for their cause, which is for the ethical treatment of animals. What's wrong with that? Why is it trolling?
