Are there any hunters on sf

[irenewilde 10]

Went out after wild boar two weeks ago, saw a couple but didn't take a shot as it wasn't clear enough. Dog was happy as anything, it was his first ever and he had a right ball, out and walking all day long.

 

You do know you can give your dog a long walk without having to kill anything don't you?

No, I think my description fits it better. You see it's the "taking a shot" at a living creature that is in no way a threat to you "for the sheer enjoyment of it" that I struggle to comprehend. And in my opinion I think anyone who does that has something wrong with them mentally.

What I struggle to comprehend, is people who humanize animals and oppose their management by (traditionally-) hunters, without a clue as to what it takes to keep a good population of such animals living healthily year after year, in areas that are ever-more encroached-upon by humans and their activities.

 

If you could stop for a minute considering shooting a few animals every now and then as a form of bloodthirsty willy-waving, but as a necessary form of population control besides further population management and monitoring activities, then I might start to take you seriously.

 

For the time being, you come across as an incontrievable lover of all things furry, feathery and generally 'fluffy' (as very many other people do, in fairness - especially in the UK...which is odd, considering how little game there is, left free to roam in your countryside). And in my opinion, I think anyone who does that has some growing up left to do.

I do. Which is exactly what I did on that occasion, if you care to read the post again.

Hunting has no place in modern Britain. It aint necessary for population control. Take deer hunting for example, the deer population is only controlled to provide enough animals to hunt to provide the land owner with extra cash.

People of questionable morality tend to start off abusing / killing animals, then work their crazed twisted way up to doing sadistic things to children and adults. Not all of course, but it's a common trait in mass murderers.

 

What are u trying to say

Crikey! He only asked if there were any hunters here.

How about if I asked if there were any Scuba divers on here? Would the replies be along the lines of " people diving in the sea, disturbing fish in their natural habitat, filling their air tanks using precious oxygen, boats polluting the water.

Or cyclists taking up the road, holding traffic up, not waiting at lights, cutting up traffic, jumping up on to the path when it suits them.

Fishermen harming fish by hooking them, fishing line left behind to choke swans, lead poisoning the lakes.

Motorcyclist riding too fast, like lunatics, too noisy, riding between lines of traffic.

All of these hobbies (possibly not scuba diving) have been abused in some way or another on this forum.

So lets have a list of SF approved hobbies that are not going to offend SF'rs.

I'll start the ball rolling with extreme knitting.

Do you think if we call them they could tell us if the One show Roadshow has kicked off yet?

I mean Hunters Estate agents, that is!
