YOU JUST HAVE TO LOVE THOSE PETAPHILES WHO WOULD WISH HARM ON THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldnt wish harm on a human, its just that idiots and guns dont mix. Ill give hunters respect if they can kill a deer or bear with their hands instead of being cowards in an uneven war.

Haha, Steve posts that in every thread he can. Just ignore him. Anyway, the idea of "the first hunting accident" is amusing, though surely nobody can find fault in people having hunted for survival 5000 years ago. :)

The least educated and least skilled members of our society, who get drunk and go out to shoot in the woods.

Disasters waiting to happen,

and happening

When our ancestors hunted it was pure survival and respect for their prey was genuine. Today`s so called hunters go out armed to the teeth and the animals don`t stand a chance.
It is cowardly and pathetic and if they shoot each other one can only sit back and lament such blatant ignorance and stupity. There is a big difference between that and gloating.

adam... ignore me all you want but who's the moron saying killing a fellow human being is amusing,,,,,
& cappucino... here's something new: you and your fellow petaphiles have as much creditbility in the real world as using dennis rodman as a spokesperson

actually, hunting is one of the safest sports available. In addition to allowing for a deeper understanding of wildlife, there are only about 1.3 accidents for every 100 participants, this is extremely low when compared to other sports, (soccer comes to 9.3 accidents per 100 participants, touch football at 4.4). also, shooting related accidents are comparable to people hurt by lightning strikes. Hunting is very safe, and is increasingly safe, partly due to the hunter safety programs. also, firearms manufacturers always post firearm safety rules on their products. the "beer drinking dumb rednecks" you make hunters out to be are not what defines the American sportsmen. I am even tempted to go into detail about the contributions hunters have made to conservation in the US, but that is for another post.

Kelly, Maureen, Canaduck, Adam and cappuccino - you said it all! Yes, people who lived thousands of years ago sometimes had no choice but to hunt for survival. Now there is simply no excuse. It seems to me that it is now a pathetic "sport" primarily for men who are so insecure that they need to prove how "manly" they are - ewww!

And to Steve, BORING! Blah, blah, blah, no one cares what you have to say (zzzzzzzzzzzzzz - that's me falling asleep when I read your uninspired comments :))

HA HA!!!

There is something seriously wrong with PETA. As for hunting, I honestly couldn't care less. As long as you have a reason for killing animals (like you want to eat it or something), I don't care. But hey, if you just like to kill animals to kill them, more power to you, I guess. Rather a deer than a human.

Posted by: Haley | June 12, 2007 11:06 PM

I can't beleive someone actually used the Jimbo and Ned "We have to kill them or they'll die" argument seriously...

Posted by: cappuccino | June 13, 2007 05:27 PM

I have a question. First of all let me tell you guys a little about myself. I'll try to keep it short it will hard bear with me. when I was young my loving Grandfather bought me my first shotgun. He took me out and showed me how to shoot it. Then he enrolled me in hunter safety courses. I failed the first one I think I was about eight years old. He helped me study and later I passed it. I go hunting maybe six to ten times a year and maybe only harvest one deer sometimes none. I always feel a little bad about killing the animal and actually thank the deer for the experience. Now I use only archery for my hunting weapon, a little less of an advantage. I always harvest the meat and eat it. I can't stand the useless killing of animals for any other reason than eating it. Does PETA stand for the ethical treatment of animals or just people who are vegatarians and hate other people just because they eat meat no matter how they accuire it? This is not a post just to piss people off I would like to have real responses and not just hate, please. Thank You. I will also respond to any questions you guys may have.

I an an Hunter And I Love animals. I can see that you people would find any reason to complan

I dont understand what is wrong with hunting if you hunt for the right resons. If you go out in the woods and kill anything that moves i feel that this is wrong. I have hunted since i was five and have taken the saftey coures and i feel that it is a time honored tradition to hunt and to have the freedom to hunt. I always eat everything i kill or catch so i dont know how this is so bad please expain?

Posted by: Robie B | October 25, 2007 03:16 PM

Hunters are the no.1 conservationists hands down!!!!! What do you think about that.

Posted by: Anonymous | November 6, 2007 11:22 PM

What is it with people saying there is no excuse for hunting these days. Let's see, the reason for not hunting is that just go buy a turkey raised in awful conditions? What's more humane? An hunter killing on the spot a wild turkey raised in freedom or someone buying a turkey raised in brutality. If it's for food, there is nothing wrong with it.

For you vegans, tell your story to the thousands of animals who died every year in the harvesting process. Tell the countless deer who get shot by farmers and left to rot, because they eat their crops. There's blood on everyone's hands.

Let's assume for a second that everyone on this earth converted to vegetarian. Do you really think there is enough farm land to to grow the crops? No! How do we get the land? Cut down the remaining forests for farm land. By, by animals.

Wake up people.

what a bunch of idiots you all are, hunters do it for the sport. The meat taste great and the trophies go well with the rest of the house.

Hunting now a days only takes surplus animals that if not taken by a hunter would only die in a slow painful way from disease or other form of death.

And that little comment about getting drunk and going to shoot something is completely wrong. A true hunter don't do that. Hunting accidents are declining in recent studies and most of those are falling or tripping causing broken bones. You are more likely to get hurt on a damn bicycle than you are to get hurt while hunting. Wake up and get a life, hunting is helping not hurting

us sportsman hunters dont kill just to kill we use the meat and enjoy the sport so dont picture us as monsters

Posted by: patman | February 14, 2008 04:18 PM

Wow, anon on Nov 6 is not very well-researched. What do the animals eat? Air? They eat plants, too. Many calories are lost when a human eats an animal. For example, you would get more food value if you ate a bunch of corn than you would get if an animal ate the whole bunch of corn over it's life and then you ate the animal, about 10x more. People would end up using LESS farmland, not more.
