Do you think it typifies anti-hunters? Or is this person umm unique?

Answer 1

she's against hunting, but see eats meat. (don't understand these kind of people)

People like this need to stop living in their little dream worlds and wake up

Answer 2

Yahoo has deleted the question, I just tried to click the link you provided and got the error screen. I have no idea what the question was, but apparently some little disney watcher got his panties in a bunch and whined about hunting or hunters or eating poor widdle animals or etc etc. If it comes to this section, we need to report it, if it gets enough violations, yahoo is supposed to suspend its account. Yahoo enforcing its owns rules fairly is still debatable though.

Answer 3

What do I think of this question?

Yawn!  If everything in Nature hunts, how can it be wrong?  It is just part of the food chain.  Try not to be on the bottom.  Now I have a question for you:

Why is it that the anti-hunters can never spell the word 'defenseless' correctly!

Answer 4

crazy.i have seen a slaugter house and all i can say is bloooooodeee

Answer 5

Another example of how our school system is failing on many levels

Answer 6

She isn't unique.  She is typical in that her rant is based on emotion, and not science or reason.  My guess is that she is pretty young and has spent her life in the city.  She's never been in the woods, never seen the food chain at work, never seen how nature works (except for what she's seen on the Discovery channel).  

It may be that she has seen or heard some idiot hunters (let's be honest - there are some among us who can be described only as "idiots") who have paraded a deer around town on the hood of their car, or told stories and laughed about the deer they shot and lost, or had to shoot seven times before it finally went down.  Those guys make all of us look bad, and further the perception that hunting is cruel.  We have to be diligent and police our own ranks, or in the future there will be more and more voters sharing her opinions.

Answer 7

i'd be willing to bet that most of these avid anit-hunters are not all vegans, or for some of thsoe that dont know what it means,those that dont eat anything that comes from animal, eggs, dairy, and that WOULD include your health food items as fish oil in your vitamins. Bunch of d**n hypocrites. They have no clue that hunters spend more on conservation in paying for licenses and fees than any other preservation group like PETA. Sad how they fail to tell the whole stroy

Answer 8

she is borderline wacko......at least she didn't ask it here so I will give her some credit

Answer 9

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. No matter how stupid they sound.

Answer 10

Well, at least it wasn't a troll here on the Hunting section.

And as I posted to her survey, I am glad I live in an 'uncivilized area' where we kill our own food and Rasie our children, not kill them.

Answer 11

actually answered it already....

Okay I respect everyone's opinion, but hunting is needed and necessary. Yes some (a very small percent) don't respect the game they hunt and don't get license, only hunt for heads BUT THAT'S ISN'T THE MAJORITY!!!! Bet you had no clue that hunting alone brings in millions (billions in Texas) to state revenue! Also it's basic logic that hunting is needed. If hunting wasn't allowed animals (herd animals especially) would over time start to die horrible death due to higher percentage of diseases being spread due to overeating of the same food sources by multiple animals.

Think of this too...deer on average have 1 or 2 fawns a year. Let's just say that only 1 lives through maturity (which a doe can have a fawn their second year of life!). Over 100,000 deer (extremely conservative estimate) are killed in Indiana (state I reside in) every year! say 1/2 of those are does, that's 50,000 does having atleast one fawn so in one year the doe population alone will have DOUBLED!!!

The Indiana toll road alone reports over 20 car crashes a month almost involving deer during the peak fall season (mating season for deer)! Imagine how much worse that would get!!!!

As for the whole civilized thing you said, have you looked at how some meat farms treat their animals or even kill them!? I'm a hunter and have gutted animals many a times and shot alot, but I'm even grossed out by it!!!

Stop bashing something you obviously don't respect or even have researched enough to see the use of it! Hunter provide more money then any other facet of community besides taxes to wildlife preservations!!! So next time your using a park just remember that!

I've got tons of facts on this if you want more just send me a message.

God Bless

Answer 12

I would have to say that is is not the "Norm" of the anti-hunting group.

I know quite a few people that don't like the idea of hunting. However those people also respect my right to hunt.

She is on the extreme side of the anti.

I am willing to bet that she lives in preppie my suv is bigger than your suv suburbia gated community and her idea of the great outdoors is the dog park next to her subdivision.

She most likely also b*****s about the length of the grass in her neighbors yard

Answer 13

It's not a question, it's a rant. Wait until the economy collapses and she is looking hungrily at the fluffy little squirrels scampering around her yard because she hasn't had any protein in a month.

Answer 14

I have the impression that she is young. Her enthusiasm is good. She is maybe trying to debate her view on this issue. I give her kudos for that. As to the content and logic, yes it is flawed a bit..but I hope she doesn't loose the passion she has. Just becomes more informed a bit. Lot's of folks have some ideas that are pretty far out there. Bringing them out in to the light and talking them over sometimes changes thier view on things.

I don't think her rant is typical...no.

Answer 15

I call shannanigans on this question by the anti hunting person.

I think they sterotype folks who hunt a lot.

I don't hunt but I also know that hunters are not portrayed well in the media where these folks get their information.

The hunters I know are very environmentally consience and make every effort to be humane in their sport.

What's worse a hunter who takes an over populated deer and uses it or a Mini van full of kids that get's totalled because the over populated deer ran across the road?

Answer 16

She's another example of the Disney mind set....all animals are really funny shaped humans in a furry suit with white teeth and big bright eyes and they help orphaned children and such like.

But at the same time she admits she eats meat that comes from an animal that has been mass reared and slaughtered in God knows what conditions.

She's a hypocrite, but not in any way unique unfortunately.

Answer 17

This person is an idiot. Were murderers for hunting wild animals to eat them yet shes just gonna hit them with her car  and cry and leave the animal on the side of the road...But thats not murder cause she was involved right?
