The human race needs a good purging.

Thanks to sbMKE for bringing this to my attention.

After last weeks

Snowmobilers round up and run over deer

, I think we have to be concerned about the effects of global cooling. Hope they find these guys too, and have a warm jail cell waiting.

I will never understand this cruelty...It makes me sick...just run them down...It’s one thing to hunt and eat what you kill. It’s quite another to kill for no good reason. I hope they hang these morons.

The snowmobiler skipped over open water?

That’s news to me. I’ve never heard of a snowmobile being able to ride across water. How in the world do you pull that off?

Don't look at me!

WTH is going on around here these days?

I suppose this is just the ‘Winter version’ of the usual poaching that happens the rest of the year; the fact that they’re using sleds to accomplish mayhem instead of baseball bats or poisoning the neighbors cat or whatever, makes it a “story.” *Rolleyes*

No sympathy from this quarter. People that harm children in any way or kill/maim animals for fun (versus for food, in season) are sick.

Road kill!! Yummey yummey

Cruelty has no boundaries. In a related story today, some fella in Laguna Beach, California, beat a beautiful Heermann's gull to death because it tried to swipe his wife's ice cream cone. Broke its wing and they had to put it down.

Worse still, the people around him did nothing as he beat this bird to death.

Different outcome had I been there...

I hated Howard the Duck, too.

But, hey, that was years ago. No point taking it out on our fine feathered friends now.

Some things I just don’t get.

Ducks move fast.
Kind of hard to kill 57 ducks in my opinion

[wgflyer]

I remember an English tabloid front page photo of a swan with an arrow in it's neck, still swimming around. The rancor in response was far greater than that toward the crooks in any of the following pages, or editions, who robbed, raped or burgled the general population. That was all ho hum. The people seem to be saying “kill us, rob us, plunder our society, but leave the darned swans alone”. I'm seeing a lot of that on this thread. Cruelty is a fact of life. A society that allows cruelty to it's own members, en masse, can hardly expect lesser critters to be spared. The solution, here, is not protecting or emoting over a bunch of ducks. The solution is to get rid of those who prey on us, which requires a higher standard, which means critters will have much happier lives.

How the hell does a snowmobile “skip” over open water, turn around, “skip” over open water again and surprise 57 ducks, killing them?

Maybe the SM had a vacuum on front that sucked the ducks in and passed them through a Willy Coyote ACME Duck Shredder mounted on the back.

Big pile of BS. Anyone that falls for this garbage is watching too many cartoons.
