And?

Your Donald Trump's son. You're worth a fortune. You could do any number of amazing things and you choose to stand there holding up the carcasses of a variety of wildlife that you then use the thinnest of excuses (we gave the meat to the locals) to justify it.

'Scuse me, i'm just off to watch President Obama's whitehouse correspondants speech again.

And? I'm still not getting your point.

Then with respect, i doubt you ever will. Looks like this is one of those agree to disagree threads.

We never will unless you tell us or are we just supposed to guess?

I object massively to an animal being killed for sport. Simple enough for you?

I've heard all the arguments, many, many times but fundamentally i find the idea repulsive. I appreciate there is now going to be a massive clamour for man points at my expense, but that's my view. Enjoy.

He hasn't got one...he only has a position. Namely, prancing up and down on what he perceives to be the moral high ground, although his location is what I perceive to be smack bang in the middle of Right-On-2@ Boulevard.

All down to perception.

You know less than fk all about me mate. Perceive away, that's your position, after all.

Not my thing either. I wouldnt want to do it myself but I am not going to berate somebody who does.


For a start I am not a vegitarian so to do so would make me a hypocritt and for another thing you have not posted any information about it.

Some wildlife has to be culled when the herds get too big. Whatever he shot may have been shot anyway by somebody else.

Population control is an unfortunate necessity. I've lived in the countryside for forty years and work closely with wildlife trusts and even i accept that. Perhaps go and look at the pics of the hunt in question and make your own mind up, but it seemed in pretty poor taste to me, especially when he then attempted to justify his position as being driven purely from a desire to help the local economy.

Like you say, just not my thing.

Thats lovely. No manpoint scoring here. If you've heard all of the logical arguments but still feel the way you do there's clearly nothing I can say here that will change your mind.

Doesn't make for much of a discussion on a discussion forum, though, does it?

how do you feel about cake?

[VinceFox]

BruceV8 said:

I'm disgusted when cake gets eaten for sport.

And common ground is achieved once again, through cake.

If it isn't your thing, then why torture yourself by reading about it, posting about it, getting in a huff about it, and generally being a dying-swan attention we about it?

Feel better for a bit of name calling?

I think the cake went for 'im. Under those circumstances he had every right to shoot the cake.

Self preservation in the face of an attacking dessert is, of course, totally justified.

OP - I understood where you were coming from the moment I read your post, but bringing it up on neanderthalheads was never going to end well.

so if you are not outraged but somebody shooting an animal without any facts or information and ask about the point you are a nanderthal?

Nice ballenced argument you guys are putting up. Some people really like to be victims. Take the chip off.

Perhaps neanderthal is a little strong. Hunting is a very emotive subject. No doubt it's been done to death in here before, just found this to be an interesting current article. Very, very hard to find common ground on bloodsports.

My argument my be unbalanced, but at least its spelt correctly - enough of a chip for you?

Oh christ, i really wish you'd written "may" instead of "my".

BruceV8 said:

Even in the very terminology. No one who hunts, shoots or fishes calls what they do bloodsports. But then again, I guess no one who actively opposes them calls them field sports.

It's a bloody tricky one Bruce, no denying it. Terminology is a funny bugger. Misquoting, adding, removing or replacing a word here and there can make such a difference.

Well try not to get too frothed up, chaps. I'm off to bed now. Got a hard day of bagging stock raiding lions tomorrow. Big problem in this part of Middlesex, don't you know ....

Take a machine gun Bruce, can't be too careful

If the furry-vermin lovers could take a moment out from the group-hug, and post a link so that those of us without the dying-swan-attention-tart chromosome could have a look, that would be lovely.

Keep going, i'm nearly there.

No, you were on the vinegar strokes when you started the topic.

Now, about that link?

What fking link? Find your own porn you lazy fker.

[VinceFox]

Not much sport or honour in those pics, in my humble (and of course) subjective opinion.

Bravo!

To the Op.

If you had posted a link I would have whole hearted agreed with you.

No objection to shooting antelope etc etc No need in m y opinion to go after the "big 5"

Why anybody would want to shoot a leopard is beyond me.

You can't eat it.

Thx Pesty. Not pleasant viewing is it?

It is customary, when starting a thread in the News, Politics and Economics forum, to actually provide some reference to whatever you've been getting your dizzy little head in a twist about, rather than diving straight into the ooooh-look-at-me-I'm-so-sensitive-about-whatever crepe.

Is that so difficult. Really?

Yes.
