How do you do that? Anesthetize it? Hypothermia? Never been much of a hunter myself, but all the ones I know aim for the heart to take the animal down quickly. One pissed off deer could really ruin your day.
That's why I only buy certified meat. I like the fact that they give the animal a certificate; it lets him or her know that they're special.
My wife and I just went horse back riding up here in Alaska in the Cooper Landing and fishing in the Russian and Kenia river, so much fun .. Fresh salmon was pretty good , the sore legs was a little much ;-)))))))))
A lot of it is. But those freaking dobson flies they have in Walnut Cove NC are horrifying. Don't even get me started on horse flies. I can't stand 'em.
I wish Ernest Hemingway were alive right now to slap the sh*t out of you.
Not to mention what a pissed off bear can do..
It will ruin your life.
"The wee nancy" has undoubtedly been fed a constant line of propaganda of "guns are evil" since he was born, thus his rather limited understanding of the entire subject. That being said, such limited understanding should be grounds enough for him to keep his piehole firmly shut, lest he come off looking like a complete idiot, such as he has done here...

That sounded like sound advise to me.
I've always found opossums to be particularly repulsive. Like great big bloated rats with bad attitudes. Ick.
LOL! What struck me about this is the hypocrisy. Of course, this is nothing more that presumption on my part, but I can have some respect for liberals who walk the talk (Ed Begley Jr comes to mind, he's the only one).
The vast majority of them don't, and I suspect if this guy, who is admittedly straight (on DU you don't claim to be straight if you're not; I think some of the straight ones claim to be gay to earn "cred"), wouldn't care if her hobbies included shooting rats at the local DUmp and rolling bums if he had a chance of getting laid.

I had the impression the writer was looking in the mirror when he had that train of thought.
I used to hunt but no longer do due to health reasons. In fact, I gave all my hunting guns, cabinet & supplies to a (then) 10 year old boy who loves the sport. Of course, his dad has control.
As to killing humanely, I think that's a misguided impression that comes from the abortion issue. They have to believe there is such a thing as humane killing or the whole issue of abortion falls like a house of cards.
It is the most ironic thing, the DUmmie mind. It's often the most moronic thing as well. I know that there are pro-life Democrats as there are pro-choice Republicans.
The people who are opposed to the death penalty for murderers will argue "how can you be pro-life and still support the death penalty?"
This is how Satan tricks us: It's the words that are wrong. It took me time to see the light, but I do see the light. You are anti-murder or pro-murder.
The way that murderers (who qualify for the death penalty; only a fraction do) are put to death is by first giving them a sedative that puts them under. They are then given a paralytic agent to ensure they have no pain. Then they are given a drug to stop their heart. I don't know for sure, but I'd bet a paycheck that not one of them gave their victims that courtesy.
Now the way I understand early term abortions is that they just pump saltwater into the baby, it convulses and dies. Late term abortions are even worse. These induced labor abortions that Obama is so fond of sound to me like something out of Hitler's playbook.
As for those who say that the death penalty is no deterrent, I'll say this: It is. Once the murderer is put to death, there is no chance that he will kill again. There are a lot of people in prison, some are evil to the core, some aren't. How many people are in prison who have a legitimate chance of becoming a decent human being, at redemption, who would be denied that if some murderous maniac were running loose in the general population?
Tar and feather, hanging, firing squad, guillotine. Can you feel the love tonight?
Obviously from a male DUmmie.
They are. They're calling "come here, breakfast!"
Let's be honest, though. If this idiot were camped out with nothing between him and a pack of howling wolves but a sleeping bag he'd be marinating in his own urine. Nature isn't cute, Jacko, it's awesome, and awe is what you have for something that can kill you, but only if you're smart enough not to let it.
Why just WV?
Is this some kind of DUmmie slap at the Mountain State residents?
When you’re at the page go to [File] [Save As]. It should work either in IE or Firefox. It saves the page to your hard drive.
And that is my answer to the question whether the death penalty is a deterrent. It's also the sole reason I support the death penalty. Is it humane? Even as you describe it the individual likely suffers trauma knowing he's about to die. So, no, I personally don't consider it humane. But is it just? Yes. Certainly.
I, for one, don't believe the death penalty prevents someone from killing another if that's their intent. There's too much needless killing every day that exposes that fallacy. But it does remove the egregious killers from our society permanently. And it does insure they don't live their lives to their normal conclusion off of the society they so wantonly disabused.
