And having someone else do the same? you don't see a difference in killing to eat and just harassing an animal repeatedly?
Run for office or make A YouTube video or blow up Twitter or something. You’re just wasting your time, and most of us have work in the morning.
If you had used “moral code” or “belief system” instead of “philosophy” I might have given you a high C or even a B minus for the effort. But in the end you just weren’t tricksy enough and your scenarios were just too clumsy.
PS: If this is really Ontario Honker Hunter, I take back everything I said about doing a poor job. Outstanding internet subterfuge, OHH. Chapeau.

and we are animals too logic fails here. no animal in the animal kingdom hunts for sport and pleasure. they do so for food and survival only.

Realistically, animals don't think like humans. Predators display caching behavior. Killing a bunch of prey they're come across. Returning repeated to feed. Many don't have a problem consuming rancid rotting flesh.
OP is likely an animal rights person. Which is fine......for him.
Originally posted by dewman View Post"Animals hunt for food and survival only" BULLCRAP! Not even close. I've seen nest after nest of rabbits killed- none eaten. Calves torn apart - nothing eaten. Song birds killed by the handfuls- nothing eaten. All predators, wild or domestic, catch and kill what they can- when they have opportunity. If you spend enough time in nature you will see it for yourself. Seen them torture prey as well because they're bellies are too full to hold more. This "weak and old,sick" crap was disproven before you were born. Now I think you are just a PETA troll.Last edited by Nyflyangler; 09-01-2019, 06:01 PM.
