These anti-hunting loonies are just little fascists. They just want everyone to live the way they do, and if you don't you're "backwards" and "uneducated".
They want to buy their meat from supermarkets so you're "immoral" if you don't want to get your food from the same place.
They get emotionally attached to animals so you're a "redneck" for not having the same emotions as they do.
We live in 2012 and so everyone must adopt the latest mass produced, mass marketed methods for living or else you're a "hillbilly."
They are collectivists at heart. They don't understand that people have the right to be independent and live life the way they choose.

What's sad about people like maclin and kkpkpkkp, is they are making claims with huge philosophical implications without knowing ANYTHING about the issue.
They sit in a gaming forum talking about sports 24/7. They are not educated people.

Well I'm a student so as far as having a better job than me, sure. More socially responsible, considering I go to a medical school and am on the board of a free health clinic, probably questionable. As far as paying more taxes than me, I'm pretty doubtful, unless you work at a job where you would consider yourself part of the 1%.
And my comments were directed at KoJ who accused me of "leaching off the government" and being the reason the "economy and country are going to shit".



How are you going to say they know nothing about the issue, when they addressed every point that was brought up by the pro-hunting community and then absolutely shit on them. Including the point you brought up about hunting for food.

I blew up any argument for hunting on the first page, and everyone has been grasping for straws ever since

You can be independent, sure. No one is saying you can't. But what gives a human the right to go out into the animals habitat where it isn't harming anyone, and kill it? Meanwhile if any type of animal were to come into your land and kill a human, there would be a massive hunt to put the thing done.

Again, we are not the ignorant ones here, you guys are stuck in the old ways and can't see that the world has evolved

Suck in a little too much coal dust?

lol 22 rifle isnt a high powered rifle sir please do research before making statement that make you look ignorant.

Its high powered for a scrawn like you rolf
Without it a rabbit would run you over

Alright here are the points you do not want to look at and or are ignorant to.
A few examples of animals that destroy corn fields, soybean fields, and gardens are Raccoons, Deer, Squirrels, and Turkey. Why does this matter? If these animals are destroying whole crops the farmers then have to charge more for these goods thus charging everyone else more for these goods as well and bi produces of these goods.
We constantly invade these animals homes causing them to come into our homes, cities, and streets. Why does this matter? There are approximately 1.5 million car accidents caused by deer and elk per year according to State Farm.
Why do people hunt animals? Its sporting ( yes look at the definition don’t like it then get the dictionary changed), you cannot legally buy these meats, these meats are not sold in stores, with humans (like yourself) living in houses that have taken over these animal habitats these animals are forced to live closer together than they are meant to. This causes disease such as but not limited to Mange, Canine Parvovirus, Rabies, and Chronic Wasting Disease to spread among the animals faster and more commonly. Most of these disease cause vary painful deaths for the animals.
I have made my point about how ignorant and one sided you are about this. I don’t care if you don’t hunt or don’t like hunting or hunters but the facts are facts and hunters are needed.



Also for any of you who believe animals are defenseless then please do tell me why are humans the only ones born with out a way to protect themselves? We have a higher thinking power than the animals that allow us to come up with tools to use to hunt animals that they have better scenes than we have. All other animals also have a shorter growth period than humans. You can not put a 1 year old child vs a 1 year old animal and the child win.



oh snap ive got a 14 year old coming at me

Agreed.
Slapt.
Ownt.

So you're a student but based on the amount of taxes you claim to pay you also have a six-figure income. Interesting.

Dividend income which is technically in my name so which is technically my taxes.
