Excellent.......LOL !

I’d hate to be the one to break it to the deer.

What about the Catholic deer?

[Sender]

But what about the deer’s right to choose? Aren’t we taking away their fundamental reproductive rights? Where are the deer feminists on this?

[Chickensoup]

...but condoms are still OK?

Only if you put them on ‘em.

Concerning laws against feeding game meat to the needy, the Bambi-worshippers in some states have persuaded local health departments to ban game meat donations because it’s unregulated, uninspected, unethical, uncontrolled, etc.

In that case, laws banning local tightenings of state law should be brought to bear.

Thanks for the ping and words of wisdom neverdem. Everybody take a look at post #12.

“Other than Fripp Island, the only permit the department issued for deer contraceptives went to Sea Pines on Hilton Head Island,”

Not surprising since as this is a liberal Yankee conclave. These people are anti-hunting, including bow-hunting, resulting in highway 278 being deer central after dark.

Other than the areas mentioned the hunters shoot them as fast as they can aim. I believe Hampton, County has the longest deer season in the country.

"...the Bambi-worshippers in some states have persuaded local health departments to ban game meat donations because it’s unregulated, uninspected, unethical, uncontrolled, etc."

I had not heard that. What states are doing this?

[elcid1970]

Actually, IIRC, the PETA types go to the soup kitchens and warn them that they will be sued if a patron becomes sick after they had accepted game meat.

(Worthless PETA b@stards!)

[stand watie]

actually i'm involved with one of the groups that feeds the hungry AND i'm a crossbowman.

the venison & pork given to the truly needy (and there ARE a lot of TRULY needy in our area.)is well-received & a HELP to numerous families.

last year, in our county alone, over 10,ooo pounds of meat was donated to the hungry.

PETA harasses everyone ... that is their goal. But that is vastly different from state government requiring local health departments to ban donations of game meat, as you originally stated.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

"actually i'm involved with one of the groups that feeds the hungry AND i'm a crossbowman."

My family doesn't belong to one of those groups, but we have provided meat to many a family in our area and they are always very pleased.

[stand watie]

well understood. CONGRADS to your family for their good deeds.

justadumblonde asked WHICH States ban game donations to the poor.(i'd like to know, too.)

[elcid1970]

OK, I’m not aware that any state has actually banned the donation of game meat, but I have heard it proposed in our state assembly (SC), by the usual suspects.

It represents just another backdoor approach to changing the culture and banning hunting altogether.

[DugwayDuke]

Several deer processing operations here in North Alabama will process for free any deer donated to charity.

[stand watie]

and it won't work in SC or any place else in the southland.
