ALL:

I worked and lived by hunters all my life. I heard all kinds of stories....even had my cat come home with a bullet through her...to die.

I know what typical hunters do out in the woods drinking and shooting whatever they see. I have heard TONS of stories from just plain people in Western New york...when it was deer..pheasant season....I LIVED IT FOR MANY YEARS. DOn't tell me I don't know. I know.

Hunters shooting other animals is very standard practice....
I'd like ONE hunter in here tell me he never shot a crow....an extra pheasant...a racoon....a rabbit....just for the FUN of it. If you do...you are a liar. Giving Kids this idea that killing animals is a legal "SPORT" is SICK and DANGEROUS.....It should be stopped. COMMON SENSE TO ME!

Kids should be brought up to RESPECT animals....not that it's "legal" or that it is a "SPORT" to KILL them.

Unfrigginbelievable.

I hereby declare "Millionaire SPORT Hunting day".

This will be a day....hell let's make it a week......where all hunters will be required to go on an island...and SPORT hunt eachother till the end of the week. THe SPORT hunter that survives after the week with the most skulls will win the million bucks.

This will be great television sport viewing!! Just think of it....an EQUAL AND FAIR PLAYING FIELD!! You will all have the same SHOTGUNS - the most powerful ever made. You can wear your BRIGHT orange suits...(preferable to the audience).
I would LOVE to watch this show!! HOw about it ESPN?? ABC??? FOX??
GOd what a brilliant idea.

even had my cat come home with a bullet through her...to die.

I am getting ready to set a trap to start catching cats that come to our yard to catch birds my wife feeds. I've had to do this before. The city pound takes them for nothing. If I don't trap enough I will have to shoot some. I'll be sure that they don't go home to die. People who let cats roam unattended are irresponsible.

tell me he never shot a crow....an extra pheasant...a racoon....a rabbit....just for the FUN of it.

I have shot all of the above (except that I don't know what an "extra" pheasant is) and not just for sport. We used to shoot crows to protect crops until fools decided crows were more important than humans. I've shot racoons to protect chickens. Pheasants and rabbits for eating. May have been fun but that was not the only reason. My father shot pheasants and rabbits to protect his garden and ate the "varmits".

I'd like ONE hunter in here tell me he never shot a crow....an extra pheasant...a racoon....a rabbit....just for the FUN of it. If you do...you are a liar.

I never shot a crow, an extra pheasant, a racoon, a rabbit, just for the FUN of it.

Geez. I don't see my nose growing or my pants on fire.

Deer must be hunted...or we can reintroduce large numbers of mountain lions into the suburbs.

I actually tried to explain to you what a hunter is after reading your article you posted. Then I read this bullsh#t. You're "unfrigganbelievable" - are you that retard that strips and puts herself in a cage to protest? I think you've gotten too many UV's.

Stop getting your "facts" from a PETA email, get your head out of their asses and wake up.

The actions you describe are not "typical" and do not represent the hunting community.

BTW - children should be taught at an early age to respect wildlife and to hunt wildlife. Only by embracing our predator nature can we understand where we fit into the circle of life.

For YOUR information, I have NEVER shot an animal "for fun". I do not know any hunters who have thrill killed any game. Perhaps you hang with the wrong crowd. IF, IF you personally know of a so-called "hunter" who has done such-violated state and Federal game laws- I do hope you have turned them in and have the documentation to prove it. How dare you call responsible and ethical hunters "liars". As for your cat, that is unfortunate. However, the irresposible party here is you. No cat should be allowed to run free. If you want to discuss thrill killing, then lock up your cat. Free roaming cats kill millions of birds, small wildlife and other "prey" every year. As for your second-hand stories, I submit that the liars are those who spread such garbage.

Get an education about hunters before you spew this vomit and taint the millions of ethical and conservation minded hunters throughout the US.

Believe it or not, other parts of the country are not as idiotic as New York. Maybe you should move away if the general attitude of that geographical location is bothersome to you... flyover country is flyover country because we are a little more down to earth and don't behave like the left coast or Democratic New England and are considered to be boring and backward cuz we DON'T do that kind of thing as much.

Of course you'll conveniently forget that WE KNOW just as much about the areas we live in as YOU KNOW about yours... and say we are 'missing your point.'

Of course not all of us can say that. We all had days when we were immature or had bad judgement or killed animal for improper reasons. Apparently you were born with perfect judgement and never have done anything stupid.
