'Cause it's worth five seconds of your time if you think humans ought to treat the earth and its other inhabitants with some respect.

2. Ah, yes, "canned hunting"
An abomination if ever there was one. Most real "hunter/sportsmen" even share that opinion.

Done, and thanks!

3. As you may remember,
I am a hunter/killer. I absolutely loathe canned hunts.

I signed the petition.

5. Thank you...The fact that these assholes get a tax break
for donating their "trophies" to spurious museums makes this cruelty even more offensive.

6. To me, there is little worse
than running an animal against a fence and executing it.

It is not sport, it is not hunting, it is not even just plain killing.

It is execution.

I can't believe this sort of thing goes on, let alone with tax incentives. :grr:

12. Apalling, isn't it?
The most active participants are probably the same guys who got their kicks blowing up frogs when they were kids... :eyes:

13. No doubt
Sadistic little jagoffs who aren't even up to the challenge of regular hunting. Probably bullies too, as bullies are typically cowards who prey on smaller, weaker individuals rather than taking on those who would be an actual challenge. If faced with a real challenge they become cowering, blubbering fools.
