Ran across this while looking for some hunting property. Of course I dicontinuied any contacts with this reale state company. Funny that no one signed off as writting this kind of garbage. If the link does not work this site is glo-con.com Why Sport Hunting Is Cruel and Unnecessary Western Cape SOUTH AFRICA Real estate articles and vacation property articles worldwide by Glo-Con S.r.l. |

Those people are some kind of stupid. Birth Control for deer and Neutoring wild animals? Now that's cruel and unethical. What on earth are they thinking?

Well at least if we eat the food then it is better than the stockyards many animals have to stay in they are free and given a chance to survive.

Ron White said something once that cracked me up, but rings totally true. "I fish, but I don't hunt. And it has nothing to do with how I think it might somehow be more holy to eat meat that's been bludgeoned to death by someone else, that's not it. It's really early in the morning, it's really cold outside, and... I don't wanna go." If you are going to eat, how is it more humane to let someone else do the dirty work for you? Not to mention all the possible things that can go wrong in the process that GlockMeister brought up. We have meat recalls all the time, a HUGE one recently. |

Aww, crap, I deleted the wrong post.. lol Oh well, I'll try and remember some of what I'd said before I stupidly deleted the wrong post (that's what can happen when you have multiple tabs open and get distracted, lol). But what I'd pointed out was that our media is always uncovering stories of how the meat that can end up on our dinner plates is being improperly handled. How even the refrigerant trailers it gets stored in are often not working properly, allowing the meat to reach unsafe temperatures. I don't even like to think about it, but I'm sure the people that handle that meat don't even always take proper care in doing so. I cringe at the thought they might not wash their hands after going to the bathroom or if they sneeze or cough in their hands they don't always wash them before handling the meat we may eat. Excuse me if I'd rather be the one making the decision on where the meat that can end up on my plate, comes from. I'm not an avid hunter, but I do think if the animal isn't on the extinction list, or near it, and it can be used for food, then so be it. If you're out hunting, camping, hiking or just plain taking a walk in nature and come face to face with a threat, bear, cougar, mountain lion, even another human being and it means you or them, then of course, one has the right to self preservation. To kill just to kill, well that's an argument for another post and time...

Game is usually healthier and higher in all nutrient values than domestic animals. The fat content is generally less. You have control over all aspects of the processing and much like having a garden if you take care of your crop you are self-sustaining and leave a smaller footprint on the earth.(I`m no Green Peacer ) I don`t shoot anything I don`t intend to eat, unless it`s a conservation issue or threat. In the Cariboo region of B.C. the wolves are out of check from what I saw this year and that would be confirmed by the long wolf season and NBL. I might pop a couple if I get the chance when I`m gone fishing this spring, but that is only if I can wack an alpha to break up the pack for a while. Glockmeister,I repect your views as I know you do mine.

Doesn't this just make you want to jump up and buy property from Glo-Con subsidiaries? Those people must have too much spare time in their lives and not enough sense to worry about world events that could kill or enslave them or maybe it's just that they don't have the intestinal fortitude (guts) to mentally contemplate events of this nature.

| I just believe everyone, as long as it's done tastefully and respectfully, has a right to post an opinion and be heard. I do my best and try not to judge. It's not my yob. lol

I have often wondered, how many of the people who view hunting as cruel and unecessary, go fishing. Would it be less cruel if I baited a large hook, then waited for a deer to eat the bait and be hooked in the lip, then drug it by this lip up to my vehicle, where I clubbed it to death with an undersized baseball bat. I guess it is ok to be cruel to a fish.

Wow! Ouch! I can just picture trying to winch in a 750 lb bull elk attached to a hook and trying to whack him with a bat! right... Eating anything I shoot is the reason I have never gone after Coyote as sport. Anyone aware of anything you can do with a coyote after you shoot it? Just curious, probably tastes pretty bad. |

What a bunch of friggen morons! Habitat destruction due to farming, urban sprawl, industry, greed etc., and other reasons etc. has driven more animals to extinction than hunters by a LONG SHOT. And since when are POACHERS.... Hunters !?!?! That sort of tripe really pisses me off. I am going to write them a nice little email .

It figures PETA would be one of their references. Also, since organized hunting in the US began, not one game animal has gone extinct. If it wasn't for hunters, there would not be enough funding to pay for crap! What a bunch of morons!
