One of the greatest "deer saves" ever

[Catfish]

^ proven, exactly what i said

At least you are honest

But save deer by a helicopter, or save one dolphin from a wire while killing thousands with nets, and then boasting about one save seems a bit hypocritic, no ?

[Stealhead]

No it does not it depends on the person.There are many sportsman that have respect for wildlife just because a person hunts for sport that alone does not make them some heartless jerk that has no respect for nature.


And they saved two deer not just one.

If you are so upset about thousands of dolphins dying every year why dont you do something about it? If you just sit and complain about something but do nothing about the issue then you look just as bad as the hypocrite if not worse.

I learned this when I took a large animal rescue class. Wild animals have been getting stuck on ice since they have been roaming the Earth and will continue to do so. We really shouldn't rescue the animal, let things happen naturally, even if it is brutal. So why do it? Because if someone who can do it safely doesn't, then some well meaning, yet misguided person or group will do it and get themselves into trouble.Thus lives will have to be risked to get some idiot out of trouble.

For the most part I agree, certainly with deer. Like Eastwood said,
"Buzzards got to eat same as worms"

Anyway, I see his act as risky and stupid to risk all that over a deer. If he would've wrecked and died I'm certain his family would've felt the same.
