President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

I have no problem with the hunting hobby. The first recorded efforts at conservation was a bred buffalo herd a century ago, not to replenish what had been lost but to provide for sport hunting. I've been in Alaska Rep. Don Young's office, and every inch of the walls are covered with his hunting trophies, some from Africa, along with a seven-foot grizzly bear inside the front door.

I have friends who enjoy it but you won't find me "hunting the gutpile".

 

I have no problem with hunting for meat. I have a huge problem with hunting for wall art.

 

LOL at this pr*ck.

 

In many states, mine included, the folks hunting deer strictly for pleasure are still performing a public service by keeping the populations in check.

But they’re working for it. A setup like LaPierre’s where someone basically presents an exotic animal on a silver platter and you fire knowing you don’t have the skill to avoid it suffering? There’s no honor in that. It is the very definition of a participation trophy.

 

Most of the time, the professional hunter partners with local tribes and villages and gives every ounce of the meat to them. Basically, nothing goes to waste.

There's a strong case to be made that safari hunting is a driving force for preservation efforts in Africa.

It’s a shame the Daily News is just a husk. Today would’ve been entertaining in the time of the tabloid wars.

 

Another stupid bitch stupid bitchin' again.

Michigan GOP leader shares misinformation on mask effectiveness

 

I’ve always kinda sorta thought the hunting lobby wing populated by the likes of Ducks Unlimited were ok folks. Maybe I’ve been wrong about that?

 

Most groups like DU, Trout Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elf Foundation, etc. are about conservation.
Hunting is necessary to control animal population. Even with hunting, we have deer in shopping center parking lots and bears knocking over trash cans at bbq joints.
As @dixiehack noted, even the "sport" hunters have to do the work, which for them is the point. They donate the meat to food banks.
I'm not a fan of paid trophy hunts.
Don't kill it if you ain't gonna grill it.

 

Why do you insist on characterizing women you disagree with in misogynistic terms? It casts nothing good on your intellect.
