What is the purpose of sport hunting and why isn't it illegal already?

It's the most ethical way of getting meat to eat.

Moose and deer hunting FTW. If you never tasted wild flesh, you don't know how true this is. It's a lot of work too. You need to fly out to some godforsaken patch of land, eye up your target, and manage to shoot it whilst not startling it. If you're unlucky, you didn't insta-kill it, so you have to find it, usually a few hundred yards away where it finally lay down.

If you succeed, then you need to semi-butcher the animal on the spot. You start at the hole that nature has conveniently provided (the anus) and make a cut up to the heart to get all the entrails and blood out. If you don't do that in time, the meat will spoil. Following that, you need to get it back to your boat, plane, truck, or helicopter, which is quite the struggle. Especially moose, who are quite heavy.

Should you manage to do all that (and some seasons you don't manage to find any suitable animals), you have meat that lasts half a year. Nothing is spoiled.

For me, it beats bio-industry food. The animal didn't live in a prison all its life. It had a happy life till it met the hunter. The meat is ultra-low-fat. There's no hormones in the meat. And it's fresh, even if it's been in the freezer for a year.

What is the purpose of rap 'music' and why isn't it illegal already?

I mean really?

I believe it keeps the urban youth stupid by encouraging anti-intellectualism and offering them a safe, pre-packaged form of "rebellion" to keep them from trying the real thing.

Why does it seem like every thread devolves into me defending rap music? This thread is about hunting.

[Elok]

He's got a point, there. It shouldn't be all about rap.

What is the purpose of concealing your homosexuality after the repeal of DADT? Why isn't it illegal, aside from the illegality being unenforceable n'stuff?

Reply to the points about hunting, then. Derp.

[Docfeelgood]

Start a topic and don't even reply.
rude

I think that the point was to show you that 'I don't like this' is hardly an argument...

Sure is alot of poster here who need prozac!!!

Yes, stay on topic. The topic was shooting cute, fluffy animals. Perhaps hunters should be allowed to hunt "rap-artists". This would appeal to urban hunters. The rap-artists could shoot back thus tripling the zest of the sport. It would also boost the economy by stimulating arms sales as the hunting escalated to automatic weapons, RPG launchers and so forth.

BTW I am not against hunting IF you eat what you catch and IF the hunted species is common. Shooting animals for fun is just plain disgusting IMHO. I am not suggesting anyone should eat a rapper, they are probably inedible anyway.

Shooting flu?

So, you would be opposed to poaching rappers for their "grillz" or whatever they call them? Or bling? How does one use the whole rapper, like the Native Americans would want?
