I...I...I just don't know what to say :what: :what: :what: :confused: God be with the hunter's family.
 
Classic example of an elitist theory in practice. What they believe is good and
the death of a person that disagrees with them is an event to be celebrated.

A belief that does not match what they believe is to be attacked.
 
I literally have run out of things to say in regards to idiots. There's just too many of them, in too many forms, in too many places. I've been struggling with the ethical/moral dilemma of what the appropriate level of respect is for people such as those, and while a large part of me wants to say the answer is "Absolutely none!" for the sake of fairness I'm trying to refrain from doing so until and unless I finally decide it's the appropriate response.
 
Makes me appreciate THR that much more, not just for content, but for the civility of the members.
The technical definition of "delusion" comes to mind.
 
Far to many people dismiss these animal activists as harmless nuts or whackos. but from what I've read about some of the so called eco-terrorism acts the've pulled, these "acivists" are a real menace not only to hunters but other people as well. I suppose declaring open season on them during the hunting season would be a bit drastic but a few rifle or shotgun barrels bent over some of their head's although a bit costly would give extreme enjoyment to a lot of hunters.:uhoh:
 
I have a hippie college professor that talks like people on that board.. You guys have to see it from their perespective. They see deer as being on the same level as human beings. If that's their outlook, then it's no wonder that they're rejoicing in the hunter's death.

It's similar to when someone here posts a story about a "good shoot" .. Everyone rejoices in the death of human predators because they see it as criminals getting what they deserve.

I'm not saying it's right, just pointing out that they're coming from a differet (probably warped) perspective.
 
I know it's disrespectful, but from their point of view it's funny, so be it. I know I laugh at inappropriate things sometimes. But I have faith in human beings that they are laughing at the situation, and would not actually think it's funny if they saw his family.
 
I can understand why they are celebrating, not that I agree with this level of delusional stupidity.

These people have convinced themselves of a few basic facts.

1. Man = just another animal.

2. All animals have an equal right to exist.

3. Since we are more intelligent animals, it's our job not to interfere too much, and we have to correct for ourselves when we get too hands-on with 'nature'. A change in diet for starters, to say 'vegan' or 'vegetarian'.

So, all that together means these people honestly believe that a deer is equal to a man, and since man is smart enough to remove meat from his diet, there is no excuse not to. Therefore, that hunter was a mass murderer.

Fit this into your own mindset. Imagine a man who has killed entire families with a scoped rifle while they were out to lunch, and evaded caputre thus far, is found to have fallen and died from his hideout. Would you mourn him?

Don't bother registering and arguing, the kool-aide is way stronger than you could ever imagine with them. :banghead:
 
What's warped about it is that they do see deer and other animals on the same level of humans. And they're wrong. All non-human organisms are simply biological machines.
 
I think that you are sick people. How can you be happy with the death of a human being, who is after all is party of the animal kingdom.Dont youall profess to "LOVE" animals? This guy was doing something that I dont agree with, but to be happy that hes dead (and may have left a wife and children alone ) is beyond any kind of human decency. What if it was your father, brother or husband?? You all seem to have forgotten your christianity. Sad and disgusted by the lot of you

One reasonable person over there writes this and gets flamed endlessly. Abhorrent.

But then, those folks give animals above-human status. I love my pets, but I sure as hell ain't gonna die for 'em.

On a side note, these people seem to have no distinction between cruelty to animals and hunting. I am an avid hunter, but would stop by any legal means the torturing of a cat, dog, etc. No animal deserves to suffer.
 
these people are off their rockers

well me and my wife just read that storying and the replys that were givin to it and all we can say is. (*^&*%^$^#%&^%$& theese people have no idea about hunting. has nothing to do with enjoying killing things. you get to get out of town for a few hours and FOOD!!! hope one of the animals they are hugging bites them.
 
Its conversations like the one in the link and the concurrent one here that makes me think that death and killing is really all a matter of degrees.

For instance, a great many of us here don't think twice about shooting an animal for food. I bet those folks on that forum don't think twice about stomping a spider that's gross either. See? Degrees.

Lots of us do find reason to celebrate when a bad guy gets killed, because we know that his death has spared many innocent people from being victimized. They found reason to celebrate the death of a hunter, because they know that his death has spared many innocent animals from being victimized.

Neither we nor they stop to think whether or not the hunter/badguy had a family he was trying to support. Of course both we and they will make the argument that the hunter/badguy was supporting their family the wrong way and teaching their children a wrong set of values. Perpetuating the cycle, if you will.

Everyone has limits that will eventually make them a hypocrite.
Obviously, animal rights activists believe in defending animals, yet I doubt they would see fit to protect a ten gallon tank of spiders.
 
We're all biological machines. Humans are simply the dominant form on this planet.

We're predators/omnivores. Like it or not, them's the facts! Sometimes in the course of the hunt, the predator goes down. In this case, it was a human. I think it was tragic - truly sad. And anyone who rejoices over such a waste of life as this unfortunate accident was really is a sorry individual.

Predation is a natural part of life. But the folks on the animal rights board just don't see that - they're willfully ignorant and have a terribly skewed set of values. I love animals too, and I don't hunt. But to be perfectly honest, I think that it is far better to hunt for your meat than just buy it at the local grocery store.

-Off to thaw a Purdue chicken!
 
It wasn't me but while browsing their forums I found this post, my guess to tick them off

Umm, ya think?

All that individual accomplished was to further incense those wackjobs. It is tantamount to someone coming here and telling us that no better thing could happen than the destruction of all firearms on the planet. Juvenile, and only serves to increase rifts. Those folks aren't going to change their views any more than we are; trolling on their site is non productive at best.

hope one of the animals they are hugging bites them.

They should take note from "the grizzley man". Guy swore that since he had no ill will toward the bears, they would not harm him. IIRC, he was eaten 3 years ago. Stupid is as stupid does.
 
Bleh, what do you expect from a bunch of tree huggers, they don't agree with something so they ram you with their boat.....

If I'm not mistaken, we hunters are one of the biggest contributers to conservation.

Well, all I know is; what goes around comes around, laugh at somone's misfortune and normally something similar befalls you. I know 'cause it has bitten me twice in the butt already.

That does it. I'm getting a hunting license this year. Something cute will die.

Now, that's the spirit!
 
If you do violence in the name of a belief that is not popular or politically correct it is called terrorism. If you do violence in the name of a belief that
is popular and is politically correct you are an activist. Two words describing the same thing: an act of evil.

Not just on the same level:
This guy was not only doing "something I don't agree with" he was murdering innocent persons who have their own loved ones. As I said, and I stand by it... justice has been served from above. The hunter has met his karma, or as Christian would put it... God has punished him.

:barf: I wonder if they vote Demacrat :confused:
Good work Froggy you have exposed another "Axis of Evil" :uhoh:
This mindset is as much of a threat as radical Islam .
 
The link is dead now, but in all fairness how many people here have made Treadwell jokes? There's nothing unusual or even wrong in taking joy in the death of your enemy. The hunters wish the tree huggers death, the tree huggers wish the hunters death. It's the same with us and the antis.
 
1. Man = just another animal.

2. All animals have an equal right to exist.

My views 1. Man = just another animal.

2. No animal has any right to exist.

3. Since we are more intelligent animals, it's our job to do what we can and must to ensure our own survival.
