Don't expect him to expose the overblown salaries of the HSUS directors and employees, or the minute amount of money they spend on helping animals (ANY animals, including cats and dogs). And don't expect him to reveal that all those tax exempt millions they raise annually don't go toward spaying, neutering, housing or feeding animals, but instead go to lobbying for/against political condidates friendly to/against animal rights goals.
And this is not just about hunting, it is about medical research on animals, wearing fur, what you eat, the effort to destroy the agricultural interests in this country, and on and on.
Ping.
"thankful doves".....hmmmm
With the brain barely the size of a pea, I would think that pretty much the only feelings doves would have are being hungry, full, sleepy, alert, hot, cold and horny for doves of the opposite sex.
Harvey is an idiot.
I don't know if it's my imagination or what but Harvey has been trashing President Bush and the war in Iraq a lot lately also. I guess he's just getting old.
Sheesh.
Pigeon? I always love it when the spokesman has a name directly tied to the story!
He's channeling Jimmah Cartah.
You go girl..!!
I'll bet you're right.
Is he still alive?..Never could stand his commentary....
Taking an animal's life simply for the fun of it is an ugly act which reveals something significant about the person who does it.
Does Paul Harvey still have an audience? I could never stand to listen to him. My grandfather used to listen on his car radio, but he's been dead almost ten years now. My father can't stand Paul Harvey either.
Doves are tastey. There are lots of ways to cook them.
Everybody I know who dove hunts eats the doves, just like the cows and chickens that are killed for people to eat.
I thought his son took over. Isn't he in his 90s?
Personally I don't see the point in hunting anything smaller than a duck or anything you don't actually eat. I do however make an exception for varmints that become a problem.
Is this the son? I thought Paul Harvey stroked out years ago?
Either way, I personally find Dove Hunting a waste of time. Not that they aren't tasty, but the older I get the larger my targets need to be, LOL!
How absolutely appalling that this guy would express a personal opinion that conflicts with the right to blow small creatures out the sky for sport.
I was careful to say "simply for the fun of it". I am not a vegetarian.
Paul- I respect you.
If we don't hunt these animals, there is no population control on them.
As RoseMarie told Doris Day years ago:
Honey, if I don't have these alligator shoes and matching purse, we would be up to our a$$e$ in alligators in Florida in a matter of months......
I've never had any success hitting them. But I do enjoy eating them. Here in the South it is always a great get together with lots of food, fun and beautiful dogs.
While I don't agree with Paul Harvey on this one, my gosh, isn't he around 100 years old? If this is his "thing," who cares? He is entitled to his opinion.
I remember listening to him in the car when I was a little girl. He was an old man THEN.
