Nono you don't understand every hunter has assured me that it's not about the sick satisfaction of taking a life, it's about helping nature by controlling populations and eating sustainable food, or whatever bullshit they come up with.
Yeah, don't go kill a wild (organic) animal and eat it, go to the grocery store and buy the antibiotic-riddled meat produced in awful conditions by a factory farm like the rest of us you disgusting FUCKS! /s
Dawg, I live in a real rural place. Maybe like 20% of the people I know use wild game as their primary source of meat; they take 1 elk or maybe 2 deer and fill up the freezer for the year to feed their family.
Trophy hunters, however, can absolutely FUCK right off.
Edit: and so can this wolf dude too.
Do those hunters also run over their prey with snowmobiles, tape their mouths shut, and show them off in a bar?
Have you ever seen people culling herds of wild boars?
That doesn't answer my question.
Because its a bad question.
Like if he didn't tape its mouth shut, would that ha e made it okay?
If he had shot it instead of hitting it with a snow mobile, would that have made it okay?
If he just took it home instead of showing it off at the bar would that have made it okay?
Most hunters hunt for the entertainment of killing something.
If he didn't tape its mouth shut, shot it instead of hitting it, and took it home instead of showing it off, that would be okay. It wouldn't even make a news story.
You're just against hunting and trying to paint all hunters as demons. I pointed out that most hunters are not like this person, and your response is essentially "it doesn't matter."
You'd be taken more seriously if you admit you're biased.
