This explains why humans never eat sushi and steak tartar. The human appendix and dental structure shall remain shrouded in mystery. Some Vegan will surely enlighten the world as to why humans breastfeed our infants, when stuffing them with vegetable matter would be so much more "bio-friendly". Setting aside the fact that mankind would die off.
Frank has admitted to hiring strangers (hitmen) to put meat on the table.
Here, we still have to pay the regular fee, but we can get a 'landowner preference' that guarantees a tag, limited to the owner's property.
Our minimum is 160 acres.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Teddy Roosevelt led a movement to end commercial hunting, as this was contributing to the decline of wildlife in the US (the primary cause was habitat destruction). However, Roosevelt wanted to preserve hunting as an activity for individuals, so the notion of "sport hunting" was used to contrast the activity of "market hunting".
Sport Hunting is a highly regulated activity that has been self-funded through taxes on firearms, ammunition and reloading supplies since the 1930s. Those funds pay for habitat purchases, game wardens and other conservation personnel, wildlife research, etc. The functional purpose of hunting within this system is to reduce the amount of wildlife to that which the habitat will support, thus preventing the animals from a suffering death through starvation. Even those animals who are hunted as "trophies" are humanely spared such a fate. In addition, agricultural pests (that's what a "varmint" is) are also hunted in order to reduce agricultural losses that threaten the human food supply.
My suggestion is to educate yourself about what hunting really is, and you'll find why so many conservatives support it.
Blame Mother Nature. You (the collective human you) were designed as prey, who's only defense was to clime a tree.
Our brain changed that. We picked up a rock, a sharp stick, and found that with them our status as a food animal for other beasts had shifted significantly. We became a predator.
So today we can choose a wide variety of occupations and we are not limited to prey or hunter. You can choose to eat veggies and laugh in the face of your body's need for an omnivorous diet. Other can choose to eat meat and continue to hunt or not as they see fit.
That choice all stems from the first one of us that saw the danger and found out he could do something about it. We only THINK that the changes that have happened do not continue today.
Time will tell if you are correct or not. Tell your friends, teach your children. The next test of Nature will come in the form of war, or civilization's collapse, or famine or astronomical event, and you and yours will stand aganist me and mine. Winner take all.
Nature isn't friendly, she is a wild bitch and it's a ride with consequence.
1) Only Libs attempt to control other people. And celebrate the homosexual agenda.
2) This one is easy. Post #160. I am very interested in that prevent extinction of wildlife. I fully adhere to the set of rules in our National Parks: No Hunting Allowed. Hunting is allowed in many National Forests. You were provided with a link. Post #204. Jeez Louizzze. An Annie Oakley wannabee suspicious of any other gun carrying Conservatives who don't get a thrill out of blasting away innocent animals.Exactly what kind of gun are you carrying? And why are you carrying this gun? Since God is watching the people that hunt and kill, we REALLY think you ought to give your gun away. Before it goes off and kills an animal. If your gun is a nasty Assault Gun (that has no purpose for hunting), FReepmail me the details; and I will arrange for the lawful transfer out of Kalifornia. If you cannot do this for the animals, do it for the children. Post #9. ........dang, ,you folks are fast. You let the cat out of the bag. A conservative might have said "us FReepers are fast". Post #181. We disagree, as do the majority of people around the USA. The majority don't hunt. There's no need to. If someone is starving up in the mountains, then, by all means - hunt- to stay alive. But this is not the case in this day and age. We are far beyond that. This is where you asserted intellectual and numerical superiority. It was made up. And refuted with a link.
3) Still does not make one less of a homo supporting, big government, rights suppressing, liberal. Nice try though.
I think that sums it up nicely.
God is watching, eh?
Deu 12:15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat
You'd best be careful because He's watching those who use His name in vain as well as those who follow His instructions to kill and eat.
Only in a pure democracy, which thank God we are not.
I'd say that the prevailing sentiment on FR is about 100 to 1 in wanting you to shut up and leave. Unless this "majority wins" bull$hit of yours is just another thing you're a hypocrite about...see ya!
But you ain't leaving, are you? So be it, you'll be gone soon enough by your own stupidity and arrogance. Bank on it!
Fuzzy, sorry for getting back to you so late......
What I MEANT was babies, NOT animals.
2) ---Blah blah blah........and "This is where you asserted intellectual and numerical superiority. It was made up. And refuted with a link".
---And I refuted it with links. Sport Hunting is on the decline. Most people (especially kids) don't have the time, nor the inclination to sit in a treestand or BS about waiting for a deer to blow away. No need. There's Walmart down the street with plenty of food......and discounted software, games and other gadgetry to help people tune their dexterity and improve their intellect.
---3) Still does not make one less of a homo supporting, big government, rights suppressing, liberal. Nice try though.
---I don't believe in a big Government, or Government intrusion...with the exception of the Patriot Act and sensible Health and Safety codes, (i.e) Smoke-Free restaurants.
Jesus did not approve of sacraficial animals being exploited in such a cruel fashion. Would he be a "Sport Hunter". I certainly don't believe he would. Certainly not in this day and age.
I thoroughly searched this response for a quote upholding personal rights and self determination. The link to the decline of "sport hunting" in America is broken, you might want to check it. Maybe I missed it. Much like I missed the condemnation of the homosexual agenda. I did catch the feeble attempt to change the subject to abortion, though.

Links were provided to you in my post #'s 179, and 185. They were: http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/texas/recreation/sam_houston/samhouston_gen_info.shtml and http://www.fhfh.org/cgi-bin/index.asp I am really sorry that I did not find your supporting links. Perhaps you can help me out by giving me the post numbers and links again? The link to the decline of "sport hunting" in America did not make it into your response to point 1. I am greatly relieved to know that there is a Walmart down the street, and that you have thoroughly investigated their inventory and price structure; it really never occurred to me that software, games, and gadgetry were essential to dexterity and intellect. I will remain befuddled as to exactly how mankind has progressed to this juncture with only books, rocks, and simple weapons. Oddly, I feel compelled to recognize and make note of your self aggrandizement.
---I don't believe in a big Government, or Government intrusion...with the exception of the Patriot Act and sensible Health and Safety codes, (i.e) Smoke-Free restaurants. Except for the USDA, Federal Parks and Wildlife, EPA, OSHA, and Homeland Security. I guess that someone told you that that is conservative. OK. Still no condemnation of homosexual behavior and the health threat that it presents. Hmmmmmm.
Talk about clueless!
First off, Psalms was written before Jesus was born so they didn't quote him there.
Second, that section isn't concnered with the welfare of the animals as it is with the sanctity of the sacrifices and symbolism associated with it.
Grossly misquoting scripture and doing it in the Lord's name as you are doing is definately something Jesus wouldn't approve of.
I don't recall seeing anything in the Bible that would forbid or even discourage hunting.
Uh, yes he did. That's why he became one himself.
Dude.
What's up? You still clammering for answers? Real easy. Sport Hunting (IN MY OPINION) is immoral.
Homosexuals (since you keep bringing up the question): They are creatures of GOD. God created all of us. They deserve equal Life Liberty and happiness. .
Basic premise. Don't act so frightened by it all.
Live on.
Cheers.
Uhhhh, no Jesus did not.
Sport Hunting.....trophies of dead life on walls? Jesus would revolt against that. Obviously.
Get real.
Look into the Holy Trinity.
Please.
