There is a reason there is a limit time and amount of animals that can hunted.

There are exotic animals that were imported into America just so hunters would have a herd to proudly cull. like they are doing us a favor..

Yes, there is a reason -- it is because most hunters are a bunch of bloodthirsty jerks who would kill them all, "for fun" if given a chance.

See. This is exactly what I was saying.

I don't see the difference between bludgeoning an animal to death vs. shooting it ESPECIALLY if you aren't hungry.

And NJ Brazen has proven my point. "Celebrating" killing animals, even if you have no intention of eating them?

Thats just sickening that you don't see the difference.

How would you like to be beaten to death? It wouldn't be one hit, it would be multiple blows that hurt and cause pain. Hunters arent trying to do that. Even sport hunters arent trying to TORTURE the animals!

The point is an animal dies regardless of the method. Why would you take a life for SPORT? Is it some kind of thrill you get out of bringing death upon another living creature?

Animals die everyday so people can eat lol Big difference between hunting and torture that some people think is the same lol I would much rather be killed with 1 shot than to be tortured, but I guess some of you would rather be tortured?


I thought this was talking about torture vs hunting, not hunting itself. I think a lot of people in this thread would have starved 100 years ago haha

Listen, I don't get hunting/killing for sport either. But cannot we just agree as reasonable people that dying quickly is better than being tortured?????????? Geez...this doesn't seem that complicated an issue.

We can discussing hunting for sport another day. As I said, I don't get that either....but at least let's give sport hunters a point or two if they try to kill their sport animal quickly and with as little pain as possible. The mind that wishes to torture an animal on it's protracted way to death is indeed a sick and depraved individual.

On a scale of 1-10. A sport hunter killing as quickly as possible may be a 5, one who wishes to needlessly torture an animal on it's way to death is a negative 252 in comparison.

Celebrating the skill/craft/art of hunting for sustenance. You are not celebrating the pain and suffering you cause an animal.

I would never trust the monsters that abuse animals like this, around my children. They deserve to rot in hell. How can anyone do this to a helpless animal. You know they would abuse a child, if given the chance.

The two from this story are the same type of people that commit white collar crimes (the Bernie Madoff type of crime) that destroy thousands of lives.

What can you say? Terrible. End of the world may be approaching, but then again perhaps these things always happened, but with no internet, nobody knew about them.

This is an interesting side topic.

I'm not sure I agree with your theory. If it's all about fear of what others would think then people who behave poorly when drunk would have the same behaviors when nobody was around and there was no risk of getting caught. For some reason I doubt these boys would have done this to the duck if they were sober and nobody else was around.

Alcohol impairs judgement. People don't think as clearly about consequences of their actions, either for themselves or someone else. That is far different than them always having that state of mind yet hiding it because of unwillingness to risk offending society's norms. I remember a Dr. Phil where the woman would get drunk and buy all kinds of crap online. Clearly that isn't a case of her fearing what others' think since nobody (well, except the postal carrier) knows that she's doing it, it's a case of her judgement being off on whether she actually needs those things or can afford those things.
