Pedals the Bear!

Oberon, are you opposed to fishing too?

[Bricktop]

*sigh*....every fucking time I point out the barbarity of killing animals for fun, I get asked the same dumb questions; "are you opposed to fishing?" or "I suppose you don't eat meat".



It disappoints me that those that ask that question seem unable to discern the difference between killing for "pleasure", and domestic farming and fishing.



Fishing for food is fine, although it should be noted that many game fish are now protected and those that hunt them are required to catch and release. Many fish in and around Australia are protected, ranging from a unique species of seadragon to the most ravenous shark.



Fisherman invariably eat what they catch, and although I find the pastime boring, the impact of fishing on our communities is minimal.



What I find repulsive and utterly indefensible is killing animals that live among us for entertainment. We see many images of "game" hunters squatting next to a beautiful animal, feeling smug that they have destroyed the beast for NO purpose other than to satisfy an urge to kill. It is hard to understand why a human would derive pleasure from such barbarity. It is surely not to prove their courage and strength, as it may have been hundreds of years ago when the only weapons were sticks and stones.



Hunting for jollies is an abherration on modern society. If these subhumans are so thrilled by hunting and killing, give them each an AR15 and a couple of clips, put them on a remote island, and pick up the survivors a week later.



I'd pay to watch these heroes do that.

Food stocks need to be sustainable.



Shooting animals for sport is so fucked.

Iron horse jockey only asked you a question, but you berated him as well as got up on your soapbox.

You can be an asshole at times....you know that right?

[Bricktop]

Yes. I am reminded of that fact many times.



I try to be sweeter than fucking sugar, but fail comprehensively.

You should leave that to the masters at it like me.

[Anonymous]

Yet you are still not answering the question.



Do you, or do you not, enjoy killing a defenceless, harmless animal?

I already said I do and I gave my reasons why. Venison, moose, ruffed grouse are tastier than factory farm beef and chicken.



Have you never tried wild game?

No, for obvious reasons. I try not to be hypocritical.



There must be something about the killing mentality that eludes me. Perhaps I'm not human enough. Or too human.

Yes. I am reminded of that fact many times.

Yes, true. I don't have what it takes to be a malevolent and terrifying presence in a web forum. Just ask Vesna.

I think I have looked at her forum twice in the past six months.
