GRAYLING Eco-tourists in a deer-watching vehicle, looking forward to observing the mighty creatures in their natural habitat, were instead greeted by the sight of a 10 point buck being dragged back to camp by an American deer hunter on Friday.
I have my Segway all juiced up to go roaming the Texas Hill Country in order to view doves this weekend in their natural habitat. I have my Segwey all "cammied" up and will be sporting a new dove hat. I've even modified the horn to call out "BIRD". I plan to honk it everytime I see a dove.
(BTW - this weekend is opening weekend for dove hunting season in Texas)

I would almost pay money to see what happens to someone caught riding a segway in Texas (outside of Austin or Dallas).

This is a good thing. Those people were out there to study the whales and now they know how they are harpooned and brought into the ship. Now they can go to the cannery to see how it is packaged and put on the market. A full education.

yep. cuz then they know that they’re right and man will cause the extinction of whales, and it will cause the destruction of life as we know it.
of course they’ll skip over the fact that we’ll also be able to go back in time to grab a pair if we need to, so its ok to hunt to extinction.

Hey, I had that plus a little more on my tag line and the big Freeper in the Sky made me take it off.

I wouldn’t want to see a swimming chicken harpooned from one of those ships.

You win. You’re the punniest.

A French woman who was on the vessel with her husband reportedly said the experience made her feel ill. Exactly how we Americans feel when you Frenchies eat our beautiful horses!!!!

Hahahahahaha....
To these “ECO” tourists, just think of it as watching the lion take down the gazelle...
Nature isn’t warm and fuzzy.

The scene in Ace Ventura w/ Carey trying to get out of the rhino suit came to mind here. No killing, but hell, watching a baby being born is grosser to me than seeing something (even some humans) being killed. But that's just me.
That scene in Napoleon Dynamite where the farmer shoots the cow right in front of the school bus filled with children just pops into my head reading this.

Cooooooool! It’s gotta make a better vacation story than just another boring whale-watching.
