Because I can plainly hear them singing hosanahs to me while I munch merrily on their stems. You mean you can't hear that? Must be the animal fat clogging your ears. ;)Quote:

Turn down the grill.
I was surprised at how many Americans call themselves hunters when they equate hunting to sitting safely on a platform in a tree, taking pot shots at deer with a big ass rifle.Quote:

Deer snipers, perhaps. Not wanting to actually walk around after the deer doesn't come as a surprise. I've seen people in parking lots sitting in their cars waiting for somebody else to pull out of a parking space next to a store when less than 25 yards/meters away are numerous empty spaces. Meanwhile, they're oblivious to the fact that at least a half dozen cars are backed up into the street behind them :rant: It shows they're not only lazy but self centered as well. We Americans are quickly becoming (Have become?) a nation of fat, lazy slobs. Oh, well.... It happened to the Romans too.Quote:

I like to assassinate them with a recurve bow shot with fingers and no sights. :)
But I used to take them with shotguns regularly, too. I always hunted on the ground with a shotgun and usually shot them while they were running. In the end, the Bambi-burger all tastes the same; mighty fine eating. :)
But yeah... you have to shoot them with something. They run to fast to be clubbed like a baby seal.
You do know that hasn't been done for decades, right? I think the anti-seal hunt activists refuse to give up on the sexy image of poor baby seals dying. I'm still on the fence for the seal hunt debate, but I wish like hell they'd tell it like it is and stop misleading people.Quote:

AFAIK they still do that. It was on the news last year. the ARAs follow the hunters 'to bear witness' or something but they are not allowed to intervene.Quote:

I was pretty sure that happened, too, Bruno, but I couldn't remember for certain. I know there was a hubub about it, but couldn't remember if it was the ARA's trying to prevent it (with old footage) or that seal clubbing was back in full swing (no pun intended). Seems to me it was 2 years ago, though.
I believe it's very likely you've been mislead. I encourage you to find and provide some, any proof. I saw that on the news last year too and they were adult seals.Quote:
