Massacring animals pointlessly is fun, some apemen think

[Skybird]

Some primitive apemen in the world easily can convince me that the only way to deal with them is to return fire on them. This is sick, these minds must be FUBAR.

Maybe we see a good ending to this and the omni-present violence in the ME finds these apemen and takes them out soon, too.

Some people aren't happy unless they are hurting or killing something. Having a hobby like building things, playing sports, motorcycles, computer games and simulations etc.... Don't seem to be enough for some people.

Shooting down birds indiscriminately with automatic weapons just because they are there, and live. These bums really have had a bang to the head. Something like this really upsets me. I hope one day fate finds them and they get drowned in guano.

Hopefully karma will catch up with them.

Reminds me of the unregulated mass extermination of species in the U.S.

Thinking about the duck population on the Chesapeake Bay. A good book to read ‘The Outlaw Gunner’ it’ll give you an idea how many water fowl there once was and the means people invented and used to kill damn near all of them off.



Imagine a punt with THREE barrels like that. It took out hundreds of water fowl in a blink of an eye.

My particular peeve is the massacre of prairie dogs by target shooters often using elaborate equipment for their murderous pleasure;

Hunters kill prairie dogs – a lot of them. These little animals are the victims of blood lust and are killed in horrific ways. They are despised by hunters and cattle ranchers and are exterminated without a thought to their importance to the ecosystem. It is estimated that hunters have killed about 98 percent of all prairie dog species, and that before this they were the most populous mammal species in North America.

While shooting prairie dogs is a source of entertainment for hunters, they have to use other excuses to make it seem like killing the helpless animals is a public service. One hunting website uses these excuses:

1. Hunting decreases the threat of plague (despite the fact that plague is transmitted through flea bites, and that only about 7 cases of plague are discovered in the U.S. each year, and those infections are easily treated with commonly available antibiotics, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

2. Hunting provides needed population control (despite being a prey species for coyotes, eagles, bobcats, badgers and other predators who will naturally keep their populations in check).

3. Hunting generates revenue for businesses and the state through the sale of ammo and hunting licenses (at least they are being honest for a change).

Here in New Mexico, prairie dogs are considered “unprotected,” meaning that hunters can lawfully kill as many of them as they want anytime during the year without a hunting license (what was that about hunting seasons being scientifically managed?). If hunting on a state wildlife management area, hunters are restricted to using non-toxic ammo, but on private property they can blast as much lead into the environment as their budget will allow.

Hunting guides make big money sending hunters to areas where prairie dog towns are known to exist, and guides can charge $350 or more per day per hunter for a hunting trip

https://abolishsporthunting.org/jour...ssary-cruelty/ Killing feral pigs that are Spanish conquistador nonindiginous escaped animals is one thing; as with Neal's ranch: causing damge to land and numbering in the millions; but slaughtering indiginous praire dogs that are part of the prairie ecosystem for unregulated sport is horrible. The dead animals are left uncollected.
