Hi Im a hunter and I think we should all just get along. Some of the things peta does I like but other things like making fun of hunters and calling fishermen horrible murderers I dont like. This video doesnt accurately portray hunters and is slightly offensive to people who are safe hunters. There alot of good and kind people out there who hunt and just because of a few bad ones you portray all hunters as ignorant people just going out into the woods to kill something. When in reality most hunters all share a love and respect for the animals they hunt for ( same goes for fishermen.) I think many people are mis informed about hunters and fishers so they ignorently portray them as bad people. I just dont think its nice to generalize all hunters this way. That would be like us all portraying all animal rights activists as ignorent people who think all people who dont share their views are barbarians. I know not all of yall are like that. I just wanted to say that. Oh and also I love animals and couldnt imagine life without them. I really respect people like vegans and vegatarians yall do somthing I could neaver manage to do ( not eat meat.)

You all are idiots. You call hunters "Stupid", and you think that ALL hunters are stupid. Thus, you're saying that my ten year old friend is a stupid, murderer. You have ABSOLUTELY no proof that all hunters are stupid, saying untrue things makes me a bit peeved.

Jack,1.. You are a retard with no facts what so ever in your pitiful 3rd rate video and 2,you just made yourself look like a total tool.I am not a hunter and nor have I ever hunted but your video is just a joke and no one with any form of a reasonable IQ is going to take your statements seriously.Most likely they'll just laugh at you.

Posted by: US Army Guy | June 12, 2007 01:05 AM

I could list about 50 good reasons on why this video is not accurate, but the people that need to hear those reasons have already made up their mind about hunting.

Posted by: R | June 20, 2007 02:03 PM

I canâ€™t believe how dumb some of you are! That video offended the hell out of me! Yes I am a hunter and meat eater but I do it safely, ethically and morally! I have never had a accident and no one i have ever hunted with has! Every animal I have killed has been a one shot kill! Go take a look at Cattle farmers who pump their animals full of steroids and who kill them by using a hydraulic ram through the head!
What hunters do is simply completing the cycle of life! Animals are born, grow up, have babies, and die! Simple as that!
Yes there are some hunters out there that are total retards buy 3/4 of them are good safe people!
I'm a hunter, I completed high school with honors and I have a collage degree so I cannot be lumped in to the group of retard hunters that give them a bad name!

Posted by: Power Engineer | June 20, 2007 02:17 PM

You people have obviously never been hunting, or know anything about hunting. I can't think of a safer, more responsible group of people then the people I hunt with. Your ignorant video was funny, but it highlights PETA's overall ignorance to the real world.

Posted by: K | June 20, 2007 03:18 PM

And I'm sure all of you are intellectuals! What a bright bunch here...and yes, I agree, how accurate!

Posted by: im_a_stoopid_hunter | June 20, 2007 04:36 PM

I dont believe that its funny at all, whatever your belief is about hunting vs. non hunting, one thing is true watching a person get shot isn't funny. Pretending to care about suffering and then laughing at someone get shot is hypacritical. Statistics have proven that hunting is safer than just about any other sport, so this just isn't a true repersentation.

Posted by: Ryan Dolan | July 13, 2007 09:10 PM

Hunters are stupid . Fuck you Peta . If it was'nt for hunting there would be diseases and shit everywhere . So shut the hell up and think before you say any god dam thing .

Posted by: Bradgol | July 26, 2007 11:54 PM

i like the video it shows where all the peta people came from there family went out and shot a member so now they speak of how bad hunting is haha think of this peta the number of hunters have decreased over the past ten years im sure you are happy about that now also in the last ten years the number of deer hit by vehicles has gone up hmmmmm i wonder why fewer hunters more animals. also to all you animal lovers how do you kill ants in your yard most of you use poison now a bird eats that ant now its poisoned now another aminal eats the bird its poisoned its a cycle so where do you get to tell me my 1 shot to kill an animal is cruel when your poisoning them please stop bashing hunters most of us have degrees and are very smart

Posted by: tjen | August 9, 2007 03:34 PM

So accurate, Yea hunters are so dumb but yet you cant even make a video about how dum WE are
1st thing wrong- We dont hunt with pellet guns
2nd thing wrong orange vest ar'nt always required
3rd that was a stereotype you morons gave hunters
Maybe if some of the Peta members would get laid you could use your half-cocked debate skills for some of the REAL problems in the world, like I don't know illegel aliens, Gays(like your selves),better schools. But know your'e gonna wine about somthing that has been around as long as we humans.
Just curios, do you PETA retads know how the indians made it, I belive we call it HUNTING. Were you shoot the animal and cook it and eat it. Wow meat taste real good. try it sometime.
And for those who think we hide behind our camoflauge and guns, your wrong like always, Hunting is a sport and a lifestyle that people have enjoyed for hundreds of years and will enjoy it for hundreds more.

1 more thing that is funny on the radio a spokesman for your company said 1 of the ten comandments was thou shalt not kill hes right a few minutes later he admitted to being gay !!! what your going to tell me that the bible says not to kill great lets talk about sodimy thats a sin to0 which is in the bible !!! so dont tell me i cant kill an animal while you go have gay sex wich is a sin your sin is just the same as ours of killing a deer exept we dont hump the animalor our hunting partner in the ass

Posted by: tjen | August 10, 2007 10:34 AM

Hunters are dumb?? Ok, i graduated from Harvard Business School, my dad is a dentist, my brother went to William and Mary. My other hunting buddies are all extremely successful. We grew up in the souteast where hunting and fishing is a way of like. we didnt do drugs, break the law. We grew up respecting wildlife and the outdoors and do more for our earth and the animals, as a whole as any PETA ASS who has 1/10th the intelligence of me or any of my hunting friends. You will never understand anyones view but your own.

Posted by: bowhunter | August 10, 2007 10:16 PM

Hunting is very wrong and immoral no matter which way you put it. Whether its "Smart" hunting or just hunting you're brutally killing a poor defenseless animal. Hunters are the scum of the earth.

Posted by: I love hunting accidents | August 11, 2007 12:15 PM

let ye without sin cast the first stonewhen you come down to it peta you do some great stuff for animals but i management hunting very well and know what to take which isnt full of hormonesand is very healthy for me Hunting is very good no matter which way you put it. Whether its "Smart" hunting or just hunting you're taking one shot killing dinner for your family not peta aka:the scum of the earth.

and as for this comment peta members like this here fat cow can go suck mountian oysters

Posted by: tjen | August 11, 2007 09:53 PM

I personally dont hunt but this video is rediculous. I know people that hunt and they do it responsibly. I think people but into that peta bull too much. Yeah they help a lot of animals, but at the same time, some of their beliefs are just too much. If there werent hunter in the world, there would be malnourished people in the world. God gave us the animals for food. And also the animals would be so over populated that they would die of diseases and suffer. I know Id rather die a fast death for a cause such as food for a family, than a painful slow death.

Posted by: bfin | August 15, 2007 06:14 PM

Hunters aren't stupid. Their just pieces of shit. Slit their throats and kill them all. Laugh at them while they die.

I hope all hunters die a painful death...including their children and family.

Stupid red necks.

Posted by: Jenny | August 16, 2007 02:26 PM

You peta faggots are a bunch of morons, you say if humans are animals then we should also kill humans and not animals. In case you forgot, there still are some animals who think humans are tasty treats, i just wish they could come to your doorstep and take a big bite out of your ass. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a roast beef, turkey, chicken, and venison sandwich with my name on it. enjoy your veggies cocksuckers!!

Posted by: Peta Sucks | August 28, 2007 01:53 PM

bfin,

I sure feel sorry for you. I am a hunter, and I have never heard anyone say such a hateful statement towards people they have never met. You may not like hunting, but that doesn't mean all hunters and their families deserve that type of fate. I don't like it when people tell me that they don't like to hunt, but instead of wishing they would die a horrible death I simply respect their opinion even though I don't agree with it. I'm new to reading these blogs, and I can't believe the hateful stuff that I hear from PETA. I haven't seen anything like that posted from any hunters.

Posted by: Steve | September 28, 2007 02:37 PM

bfin,
Im in latrobe PA, come look me up you fucking ignorant asshole.

Posted by: David | October 31, 2007 10:26 PM

I have been hunting all my life and hunting is a way of life for maney people.

Posted by: mark | November 5, 2007 11:49 AM

Ok, I'll get this straight at first - I'm not a hunter, and I'll never be. I personally think it's immoral and unethical to kill other creatures for pleasure and/or sport. It's not something I'd ever be able to do, and I know a lot of people agree with me.

HOWEVER, we cannot sink as low as to stereotype all hunters to be stupid idiots. I do admit that a select few ARE stupid idiots, but there are a large number of safe hunters out there. Plus I do know that most of our conservation preservation funding comes from hunting licenses. So, even though we may disagree on weather or not hunting is ok, we can't go around name-calling. That's definitelly not going to help our situation. No one takes people seriously if they are bullies... (no, I'm not calling peta a bully, I'm just stating a fact)

And, yes, hunting is premidetitated murder in the first degree.

I'm a hunter. I hunt for meat and to protect the animals that i care about. Without hunting, we would have much greater problems. I don't see any PETA people out in the woods in all of there free time doing conservation work to improve habitat and create safe havens for animals. I have more respect for the animal i harvest and eat than the PETA people who are trying to put an end to something that is as old as man itself. STOP HUNTING.....close all seasons and see what happens. There will be too many animals of most species. This will cause them to eat everything, ruining forest. Also, they will die of starvartion, rather than from a quick kill of a well placed bullet. More deer-car accidents will occur. All the money from hunting licenses and equipment will be lost. There will be less money put into conservation and protection of these animals and places. Millions of people will be sitting inside in the winter and fall with only memories of the tradition that they are no longer allowed to carry on. But hey, the PETA people will be able to walk there dogs knowing that they ended hunting, and hurt the animals that they are "protecting".

Posted by: Ryan | November 26, 2007 05:13 PM

k im a hunter and al you whiners who are against it are dumb cuz if we dont hunt the animals will just starve and die and become over populated so just grow up

Posted by: dave | December 12, 2007 01:54 PM

This is terrible. This is stereotyping. Its fine if you dont eat meat, but most of the world does. Most hunters are civilized human beings who eat what they kill. This is just as bad as saying that black people go around eating watermelons and fried chicken...It is a flase stereotype. Grow up people.

Posted by: Ksalmi72 | December 19, 2007 03:29 PM

lol?
PETAS awesome= face it.
WE obviously* think HUNTERS are STUPID in OUR* opinions.
Gees. my opinion: their stupid because they hunt animals.
You hunters CANNOT accept that meat is no longer needed for our survival so why kill? its illegal to kill humans... should be illegal to kill all animals which feel pain JUST like humans.
you hunters achieve a great level of stupidity because you cannot accept that fact.
Face it: your dumb in that way***

Posted by: Lacey | January 1, 2008 06:32 PM

i very much enjoy hunting with my family and friends. I do not think that it is un-ethical or unreasonable to hunt. As has been said before you can not label someone based on a few people's bad decisions. And by the way, contrary to PETA's beliefs, animals do NOT have rights. That's what they are, animals. Yes, it is very understandable to love and respect animals. But not to say that they have any rights whatsoever. They were put here for or use in any way we need. Horses are for enjoyment and labor. Deer and other meat providing animals are here for consumption. You don't have to hunt if you don't want to, but do not try to stop us from doing what we enjoy.

Posted by: sean | January 12, 2008 08:11 PM

Huntings very important to this world. Hunters spend millions of dollars on conservation for animals. All peta does is sit there and bitch about something that there not going to win. Huntings ther way of life. People are intended to hunt. So support hunting its the ethical thing to do.

Posted by: hunt strong | January 29, 2008 01:19 PM

Hi Jack. That's messed up. lol
Good video. When I heard the operator saying "I need you to make sure he's dead" I knew what was coming.
You have to be a stupid hillbilly to shoot an animal.

Posted by: Sarah | February 4, 2008 12:13 AM

Hello everyone,

Firstly, I'd like to say that the video was hilarious. I am a hunter and it didn't offend me at all. The only streotype I saw was an american redneck.
A hunter is generally an intelligent man, who understands that hunting is dangerous but also necessary activity.
As Ryan stated, if hunting would be banned the number of animals would grow rapidly. To the point where there aren't enough food for them all. Wich will lead to diseases and starvation. I hope PETA as an organization who fights for a better lives of animals understands that.
Futhermore, all hunters (under hunters i mean real hunters, not rednecks) aim organs that make the death as fast and painless as possible. It improves the quality of the meat and eases hunters conscience, we know that we are killing gods creatures, but as i already said it is necessarity and someone has to do it.
I hope this post made at least someone realise that hunters aren't evil murderers.

Rim,
Estonia

P.S. My apologises if the English i used wasn't perfect.

Posted by: Rim Puks | February 21, 2008 04:26 PM

typical peata never showing true sportsman just Idiot. you think hunting is cruel (it is a great sport.)but yet killing people is funny u guys need to get the facts

Posted by: Anon | March 14, 2008 09:04 PM

Hey if any PETA person was to just think about what they say for maybe a few seconds before they were to talk then they may be able to realize that the things that they are saying make them look worse then the hunters in that film. The film was done as a joke not as some kind of documentary.

Posted by: Scott | April 4, 2008 04:35 PM

Hunters .. if stalking and killing a defenceless animal for sport is your kick, perhaps you ARE as dumb as you look. As you all wear matching outfits to conduct your bloodsport makes you laughable. If you're so damned brave, smart and tough why hide wearing your kaki greens? I did not view the video. Don't need to. PETA isn't fooled by your insinuations and foul mouthed comments. You're small minded men and women with a need to prove yourselves. Taking the high road takes far more courage and you don't qualify. The rage you show here for people with differing opinions just shows you're hell bent on violence and have no respect for yourselves or the animals. I guess we shouldn't expect any less from your behaviours. To the person who said animals have no rights, guess again. They do. You just choose to spread that gospel to aid you in spreading more violence. You are violent. You love to kill defenceless animals. You are arrogant. You are, above all, ignorant.

Those of you that think that this represents the average hunter's or "meateater's" IQ are missing the point. This video was made to be funny, and not factual. People who think that this video makes a statement about a group of people's intelligence, need to have his or her own intelligence called into question.

Posted by: tom | May 13, 2008 09:56 AM

There is no "respect" involved when you take life because you think it's fun. You're no better than terrorist cowards. They like hiding and killing innocent victims, too.
You're no better than those two scum that shot people from their car, you're no better than members of terrorist organizations.
If you think terrorizing and killing is fun, then you're mentally ill. That's basically what it is for hunters, the "fun" of murdering.
Someone claimed they had a ten year old friend that participates in this? Have fun watching him go to jail in about 8 years, when he decides it's fun to start killing other people.

Posted by: Stacey E | June 10, 2008 05:55 PM

wow this is toatly inacurate . hunters are not stupid . red meat is the best no one can tell me other wise

Posted by: kjl | June 26, 2008 01:08 AM

Ok, i came in here with no opinion on hunters. I watched the video and found it amusing enough. Then i read all the comments on the page and I have come to a conclusion

PETA, you make no solid point to your arguments. You just drone on about hunters r stupid and immoral, yet you have no proof of this. Many hunters I have met are some of the most intellectual people when it comes to wildlife, nature and the ecosystem.

So PETA if u want to gain any ground in this argument, research what the lack of hunting would do to the ecosystem and the horrors it would cause. Then maybe you will be less ignorant and if you r really committed, (not just full of words like I have seen mostly on this blog) you would try and find an alternative to hunting that would still keep the ecosystem intact.

You say you r animal activists, I don't see many of you getting active in the welfare for animals. Mainly just badmouthing people for no good reason.

Think about it

whoa !!! as someone like you has never taken the life of an animal for food (which is very natural) you have no respect for human life, your own species !!!! you, are a sociopath, hunting and fishing has been a way of life for EVERY culture since the beginning of time on this earth, it is vegans who are UNNATURAL
