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

[Hauldren Collider]

I don't consider hunting to really be a sport. I see nothing sporting about setting up feeders to practically domesticate deer and then shooting them from 100 yards away.
You want sport? Go track a bear while carrying a Bowie knife. Now that's sporting.

That sounds awesome. The deer are a huge problem here in Virginia, I wish we could hunt them year round like you can with the boars. If that were the case I'd probably buy a gun.

To imagine HC going out into the woods with his 'gun' and shooting deer. It'd be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic.


I guess rich boy enjoys the quaint pleasures of hunting

What do dingoes and calf ears have to do with foxes?

Foxes are the Euro coyote, maybe?

Is it hypocritical for Albie to whine about hunting animals when he wants government permission to go hunt people in Afghanistan? Personally I think hunting wild boar in Texas does America more good.

I guess rap-brainwashed inner city youth enjoy the quaint pleasures of the most dangerous game

If I was going to hunt anything, it'd be human.

No. What's hypocritical is that I think Mike Vick shouldn't have gone to prison for killing dogs. That's what's hypocritical about me.

But in my defense, Tucker Carlson said Vick should have been executed for killing dogs but I doubt he has any problem with hunting and I am sure people here would feel the same way.

So I'm just hypocritical with the inverse of the way you are hypocritical.

Impractical. That trains the deer to avoid foodplots, which only weakens the herd you're hunting and eventually leads to poorer results.

Smart hunters always set up a distance away from foodplots, so the effort taken in feeding the herd isn't wasted.

Dog fighting is way more cruel than hunting

[SlowwHand]

What's "a distance" to you? If you say 800 yards, I'm going to call bull****. No matter the distance, no matter a feeder or not, my viewpoint is the same. I think it's wimpy to hunt, unless it's as I've noted.

[Al B. Sure!]

What's the difference? Two dogs go at it versus a deer getting a bullet to the head by some hunter?

They're both humans getting pleasure out of the demise of an animal. It's the same thing from a human perspective.

How about you do some actual research of how dog fighting works, it's horrifying... very different from a quick, relatively humane death that hunting involves.

So? They're just dumb animals.

And how common are kill shots in hunting? Most of the time, isn't the animal just wounded and you have to find it hundreds of yards away where it lay down to die? And not like all animals who have been shot are eventually found and finished off by the hunter, anyway.

Meanwhile, on the human end, it's all the same. Pleasure out of either actively killing animals in hunting or letting another animal kill an animal in fighting.

I see rap has desensitized you to violence. No wonder you are so eager to kill people in Afghanistan.

[giblets]

Even if the animal has to bleed to death, that is way, way better than what dogs are subjected to by dog fighters.

No mother****er. Having had a gun pointed at me five times, getting beat as a child, and having to grow up always fighting has made me VERY SENSITIVE to the value of human life.
