THEN...On the other thread you have a hunter-girl who is teaching her 6 and 8 yr old girls to kill squirrels in her back yard, You had another hunter saying he kills dogs if he sees them trespassing on his yard, another hunter defends his mother who took a shovel and smashes kittens to death in front her kids, another who says cats have no right to wander in the woods and they are fair game to shoot. I told you about this one life long hunter who told his son in law to come hunting with them to get the cougars and told him he better come now because "THey're almost all gone you know".
IF you hunters were all like say GWB...there would be less endangered animals, less trophies on the wall, less people against hunters and we wouldn't have these discussions. But since almost every hunter I have known or heard about...and since this seems to be prevalant attitude, given the huge awareness campaigns going about hunting.....I think that something has to be done about it to educate and it should be addressed. Unfortunatley....I think that most people will never admit they did wrong....and then some do admit it because they just don't care. You?
No. I haven't.
MOST HUNTERS DO!
Evidence, please.

These things would still go on, Sunny, because people would still be hunting, and you still wouldn't be fond of hunters because people would still be out there killing animals, and one way or the other, you'd find something else to get upset about.
I told you about this one life long hunter who told his son in law to come hunting with them to get the cougars and told him he better come now because "THey're almost all gone you know".
And my understanding from you is that you didn't do anything because you didn't know if he was telling the truth or not.
On the other thread you have a hunter-girl who is teaching her 6 and 8 yr old girls to kill squirrels in her back yard,
Well, if it's legal to hunt them where she's at, I can't think of a better place to teach a child to hunt - or a better animal to teach them with. They're hard to hit unless you're using a shotgun.
You had another hunter saying he kills dogs if he sees them trespassing on his yard,
I've done that myself, Sunny. I've gone out and shot feral dogs on a farm, I've killed two dogs who came in my yard. Why? Because they're threats to my family.
another hunter defends his mother who took a shovel and smashes kittens to death in front her kids,
Havent' seen that one, so I can't say.
another who says cats have no right to wander in the woods and they are fair game to shoot.
Don't have a problem with that - cats will kill any animal they think they can take, including those furry little bunny rabbits, and all those wonderful songbirds. They're domesticated hunting machines, Sunny. I'm surprised you don't consider them a biological extension of man's hunting.
As far as the rest of it - you lost all coherence in that last paragraph - right after the "If all hunters were like..." statement that I quoted above.
IF you hunters were all like say GWB...there would be less endangered animals, less trophies on the wall, less people against hunters and we wouldn't have these discussions.
Oh yes we would, because you and the organizations you associate with, peta,HSUS, HCI etc. will never stop! YOu and the rest of your socialist ilk have an agenda that says you know best and insist on foisting it on the rest of the world. There is not an iota of difference between you and the palestinain terrorists, you just don't have a bomb yet.
End of transmission. out.
You know, I just discovered that the rabbits have eaten my just started blueberry bushes. Boy are they in for it now. Ate them right down to the ground.
Anyone have a good recipe for Hasenpfeffer?
Your claims are quite dishonest. The overwhelming majority of hunters are thoughtful people. You use the actions of a few to smear the rest. But that is typical of the radical extremists you support.
As for "education", once again you mislead. Every state in the United States requires hunters to undergo hunter education courses which include substantial discussion of hunter ethics. I know because I teach such classes.
Your brand of dishonesty, smears and complete invention matches that of PETA, HSUS et al.
