I can't stand bullfighting. The matadors should all be shot in the head if you ask me. Period. And the people cheering them on should all be in jail.
As for killing animals in the name of conservation, I say bull crap to that too. There are other ways to keep populations down. That said, I do eat meat so am a hypocrite in that sense. Maybe those shooting these animals should have the same thing done to them and see how they like it? And back to the bullfighting for a second. How does any human take joy in seeing a matador slowly kill a bull and show all of that pain and misery. It is no wonder other cultures are the way they are towards dogs and other animals. Absolutely despicable if you ask me. It is outrageous. Actually, it would be nice if all of the matadors were impaled with a sword through their abdomen so everyone can watch them die a slow and painful death, just like they do to the bulls. Then we can see how well that goes over for the crowds. My guess, they would still be cheering as they are freaking low mentality idiots.

What would those ways be? I'm sure it's possible in other areas, but in most of New England, deer have few natural predators left, and haven't for decades. In some areas, especially some of the state parks, their population will easily get way out of hand, and an unchecked population is damaging to the environment. I grew up in areas where hunting for food wasn't uncommon. My 5th grade teacher hunted regularly, but hadn't killed deer in several years. Either he didn't find one, or in at least one instance tracked one for most of the day, briefly had a shot, but it was one of those "large buck backlit by near sunset" moments and he just didn't shoot. When I was in college one of the smallish parks near Hartford had a yearly hunt that was closely monitored. The place could support maybe 250 deer, but was usually figured at a bit over 300. Every year there would be protests. That year they had a new ranger, who was a bit harsh. At the inevitable public meeting he gave opening remarks about how in winter deer died, and it was part of his job to remove them to keep the park looking nice for the people that used it. Followed by a slideshow of some of the more grizly ones from the previous winter. I won't give details, but it was said to be pretty disgusting. He offered to call off the hunt if he got enough volunteers to help with the cleanup caused by not allowing it. No takers, hunt proceeded. He was somewhere else the next year. A lot of the conservation that happens wouldn't happen without funding from license fees, federal duck stamps etc. |

Deer are dumb... people too
There is a clip of a radio call in show ( likely a spoof) where a woman claims that authorities are foolishly placing deer crossing signs in high traffic areas and that they should be moved to more rural areas so that the deer can safely cross in less traffic

I have never personally put a condom on a wild animal (let's just be clear on THAT,) but I suppose it could be done.....

I find the idea of hunting giraffes (vulnerable to extinction) and other endangered/near endangered species for sport to be extremely obnoxious and am fine with these people being criticized for that. I have friends who hunt ducks and deer and I have no problem at all with that, its one thing to hunt non-endangered animals for food in your own neck of the woods. Its another entirely for some spoiled rich kid to spend tens of thousands of dollars to fly to another country and kill an animal whose population is in terminal decline because that is what stokes their ego.
At the same time though, poaching for the Chinese market is a way bigger threat to those animals than rich American hunters are. With bullfighting I just don't understand why it has to be lethal to the bull. Portugese bull fights aren't lethal to the bull for example.

As far as the conservation argument goes I don't have any stats or numbers in front of me but as I understand it many of these hunters are paying 10s or even 100s of thousands of dollars to shoot an animal that would be taken out regardless, for one reason or another. These funds often represent a large portion of an annual budget for whatever group protects animals in the region. The money may protect many other animals from poachers, or other threats.

I have a question for the group. In winter, when women and men wear these big heavy coats with fur hoods and around the collars. And a lot of woman wear big warm hats with all little fur on the top of the hat. Why don't people say where does that fur come from ? I doubt it's machine made.
