The 2nd Amendment

[Roland]

You're annoying me right now Grunty.

You have in fact been annoying me all weekend.

But because I have morals, standards and a respect for life I'm not going to shoot you. I think that the turkeys deserve at least the same level of respect.

[Dameon]

What I meant was that it isn't neccessary to allow ordinary citizens to hunt animals "for their own good". I readily accept that sometimes culling is for the best, but it should be done by governments, in an organised fashion. There's no reason whatsoever why we need people to go out with their guns and shoot the deer themselves.

How do you know they're killing the sick ones?

This is absolutely ridiculous, and it's just an attempt to justify a barbaric and murderous practice.

they passed a bill that allowed the bag limit to be larger.

but as for turkeys, i honestly dont care about them, those watering-caners are annoying, 2 am outside my blasted window GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!!

Grunty, I set a few of the words in the censor and I know exactly what you were typing to get "watering-caners" to come up. Please don't do it again. This is a G-rated board.

I agree, it just seems like a way to justify hunting.
If they were really concerned with the well being of the species, they would conduct culling in humane ways.

[grunty]

i found that out the first time i typed it and it came up water caners, i thought it was a neat phrase so i have been using that

but dude, turkeys are loud, i'm almost never serious about anything i say (meaning making fun of, hatred, ect..) but those turkeys.


i'm making an ass of myself here, delete this thread

You know what Grunty, if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

If you are unprepared to take on people about a topic, then don't start a thread. You can't post something controversial then start bleating to have it deleted when people object. Stand up for your opinions, or don't subject us to them.

Turkeys might be loud, but they are beautiful creatures. And, frankly, if you're killing my mascot for fun, then I don't want to know you.

Lets agree to disagree....

Again, the point is that you came on here and started up this thread, and then continued to provoke reactions. You shouldn't be surprised that people are becoming irritated with your statements.

With regard to the turkey thing - I'm quite sure there are billions of animals across the world who have to suffer through human noise each and every day: cars, aeroplanes, trains, etc. You should feel privilaged to be able to hear wild animals. Most people in the world live in cities where the only creatures they see are rats, pigeons and sparrows.

And guess what? There are millions of children in the world who probably haven't even hear a bird sing at all! Ever heard of the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya? Hundreds of thousands of people living in the most horrendous conditions you can imagine. If you want an idea of what life is like for children living there, go watch The Constant Gardener.

So stop moaning, and enjoy the fact that you are able to observe wild animals; it's a privilage you're not appreciating.
