PGA Bird Killer Charged Tripp Isenhour
CNSI website ^ | march, 2008 | Neil Becker

Posted on 03/08/2008 8:59:48 AM PST by org.whodat

Using absolutely poor judgment and acting un-professionally, PGA tour golfer Tripp Isenhour is about to pay the consequences for his selfish act from last December 12 when, at the Grand Cypress Golf course, he purposely killed a migratory bird. Showing no compassion for the habits of creatures, Isenhour, who was filming a segment for 'Shoot Like A Pro,' apparently got frustrated when the red shouldered hawk began making noises and forcing take after take. In a rage, Isenhour,

“I see no mention of the fact that this bird was wasting hundreds, if not thousands of dollars of this man’s money.”

Thank you!

Nobody has the right, no matter what, to take the life of a living creature.


Guess I will have to start building little beds for the mice that let me share their house...

I wonder if he knows that carrots are living creatures too.

And what do hawks eat anyway?

Red shoulder hawks can be found in almost every tree in the country. The are beautiful birds of prey that play a mighty part in balancing the eco-system. But there’s no shortage of them.

Which does not mean that a human being has the right to kill the thing with a golf ball.

It’s this kind of action that give the enviro-wackos ammunition for more of their brand of craziness.

Yeah, that line is total BS. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to take a life. However, what he did does show little respect for life, which is a problem these days.

Sounds like his shooting aim isn’t too bad either.

One cannot discharge a firearm in my neighborhood

Have you tried a high-powered air rifle, or a cat?

I don’t think the game and fish laws identify any species other than just Hawks and Eagles.

Basicly it says—don’t shoot them or we will fine the crap out of you. One little hawk here looks a lot tike a dove when it flys. They get shot during dove season.

This would make a good PGA tv commercial with the announcer ending it with “These guys are good.”

Yes, you are right, that is an absurd statement.

That said, the guy is a jerk. He didn’t have to repeatedly try to nail the bird. And he’s a self-absorbed idiot to keep doing it while being filmed.

I wish he’d come over to my place and knock off a few dozen squirrels.

I realize you were being sarcastic and impossibly clever.

But here’s a good rule of thumb lest your house be run over with mice....

....every living creature has a right to its own domicile, nest, hole or territory. It’s when these living quarters infringe on the safety and ability to thrive of ANOTHER species that each has the right to do what it must do.

Thus if those mice would cavalierly kick you out of their nest with no compunction, such a big galoot human beings making life difficult for mice, and assuming that the could then if they WOULD...then too you may do what you have to do to keep the vermin, with their germs and disease, out of your territory.

I think to make light of it like this only makes conservatives and the more normal amongst us who love the eco-system as much as the Moonbat enviro-wackos look selfish, petty and mean.

Yes, I know I will be flamed.

I once took out a flying bat with a coffee can lid in mid air.

One of my proudest childhood memories. Sliced its wing and it augured right into the ground. Take that, mister PGA Pro.
