That makes me love him even more. Millions of people hunt in the US. Dye, Thome, and Pierzsynski included. GMAB. How did you not know he hunted in the first place?

How is that not tough or likeable? Depends what kind of bears you're talking about. Black bears flee in terror when they get a whiff of human scent. On the other hand, killing a Grizzly would be pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB kills. and i personally dont like it nor condone it. whether or not he becomes a HOA or not matters not to me. i will always remember him as a man that has no problem desiring to take life that he didnt bring into the world.

They also employ diabetics who are kept alive by drugs tested on animals. I'd take anything on their site with a grain of salt. Penn & Teller did a funny exposé on them in their Bullshit! series. There's a lot that goes on in agribusiness that's not humane—but as Bittman says, let's get the numbers down first and then go forward. IMO, people tend to miss the forest for the trees—they outlaw things like foie gras, but pay little mind to the feed lots talked about in books like Fast Food Nation. Point being, foie gras production is not humane, but it's a luxury consumed very sparingly by a very small percentage of the population. The feed lots that supply most of the beef consumed...well, people don't want to give up their steaks and hamburgers, so outlawing foie gras makes them feel like they're doing something that matters. I don't hunt, but I'm not bothered by people who do (unless you pick off wolves from airplanes). It's far more humane and judicious use or resources to kill an animal quickly that would otherwise die off of disease in the wild, and use the meat for food. I am an avid cook, and I do eat meat—although less than I used to. This was my motivation. I usually only eat one meat-based meal per day, and cut back on the portion sizes.

knightni Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 If you eat fruits and vegetables, you're killing rabbits, deer, birds etc. If you hadn't eaten those foods, it would have been their food. Now, they will starve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Definition from Urban Dictionary vegetarian A bad hunter. Someone who survives by consuming not food, but the stuff that food eats. The vegetarian was forced to subsist on slower prey, such as the broccoli and carrot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't care what Mark does, but hunters are not 'tough' in the least...OH, im gonna sneak up on some bear, shoot him dead while he's licking his ass or feeding her cubs and then Im going to stuff it with him/her bearing its claws and teeth and tell you THIS is the animal I shot. LMMFAO... That all said, even if Mark killed puppies for fun I'd probably still love the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very humane and like you don't like to kill animals without mercy and compassion, but letting go of trapped flies is just a little much...why???? -They are not an apex species -They are not even close to being under populated -Their gestastion and generation times are VERY short meaning they can replinish VERY quickly (unlike whales or elephants) I appreciate your perspective dude, I really do...but when you talk about saving 'house flies' you won't gain any converts to your cause. Show the butchering Sarah Palin promotes and then you'' win some support, but 'common people' nor scientists are gonna join your protect the house flies agenda. One last note...Being a vegetarian (which I am not) and being opposed to hunting IS NOT about PETA...they are clowns.

knightni Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I don't believe that there is one wild animal or pet animal on this planet that wouldn't at least try to eat an incapacitated/dead human if they were hungry. Farm animals aside. (pigs and chickens would try though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
