Mike Vick saving animals now?

Again... you can't explain why, so cut the nonsense.

 

To me... It's an odd mentality to decide "Hey, let's go kill something!" and hunting is done for sport. For fun. A lot of people eat the meat, but they're not hunting for the meat. They're hunting for thrill.

Personally, I can't decide to kill anything. Sometimes with bugs, but even as I get older that feels unnecessary.

So people killing just for fun... brain doesn't get that.

 

I have zero issues with hunting/fishing as a sport.

Not my thing but there are too many beautiful forrest rats running around as it is. Hunting the numbers down some is OK by me.

Fishing is not my thing either but catching what you catch with normal gear seems sporting to me.


My one thing is people should eat the meat. If only the 'trophy' is collected that just seems senseless to me.

 

It is a sport IMO

When I was a kid a hunter was lucky to get 1 deer a season and everyone knew cause of the constant bragging - LOL

Today there are urban forrest rats. That was unheard of 40 years ago.


My point is hunting is seen as a sport by the people who partake. Sure they obviously enjoy their sport also

 

In the broad sense, I would agree. But to act like they're the "same thing" as DW seems to be arguing is pretty ridiculous imo. There are certainly different degrees of cruelty. And to me anyway, shooting a deer for sport and making dogs viciously fight to the death (much less drowning/hanging/electrocuting them) are quite different things.

To be clear, I've never hunted a day in my life. But you can at least attempt to make an argument for the legitimacy of hunting (regardless of how disingenuous that argument might be). Meanwhile dog fighting is done purely for money and bloodlust.

 

I'm not saying they're the "EXACT" same. I'm just saying you're a hypocrite if you kill for fun then act like someone else is a terrible person for doing it.

 

uuuuuuhhhhh........ that is nuts

 

not gonna lie I do not at all understand the hunter mentality

I probably never will


But I do view it as a sport. The more primitive the weapon used the more sporting. I would even approve of elephant hunting, and I love elephants, if they were hunted barehanded
