Corey Cogdell is a two time U.S. Olympian. She shoots trap--and she is one of the best in the world.
She is also a big game hunter. And she has been pretty successful at that as well.
But when it was publicized as a part of her Olympic bio that she is a hunter, hunting opponents showed their true nature in a series of vile and violent tweets.
Here are just a few:
"I hope that someone someday shoot your whole familly just practicing."
"please go shoot yourself in the knees. YOU ANIMAL MURDERER!! you're a disgusting human being."
"kill yourself please ! (sic)"
"I really hope the olympic games do something about this murderer. sad, so sad maybe she needs to feel a shoot to understand (sic),"
"These ppl need to be shot deheaded and posted on a wall (sic),"
This is just a sampling of the attacks made by people who claim to have compassion, but are really just ignorant, intolerant, hate-filled radicals. The venomous attacks by anti-hunting extremists reveal more about them than about the hunters who contribute more to conserve our wildlife than anyone else.

I’ll take my chances.
Tney write this benighted nonsense, then eighty percent go out for a yummy burger at McDonald’s.
The rest of them, of course, say nothing about the countless critters killed to keep the fields reserved for the grain and legume crops they depend upon for their brown rice and veggie burgers.
Nor do these morons in their happy delusions utter a single word of comlaint about the troops who kill human beings every single day of the year to keep them safe from human predators.
It often strikes me as highly strange that, in this era of universal education, so many are utterly and demonstrably incapable of rational thought.
It simply goes to show that, in the same way one might “bring a horse to water, but one cannot make it drink,” one can bring a moron to knowledge but one cannot make him think.
And how about all that national treasure we’re wasting on education.... yet the NEA continues to cry out for increased funding!
You assume that's real meat in your hamburger. /s
