"It is a moral issue for me to stand up against recreational and trophy hunting, and an emotional issue since I love the animals being hunted, and an intellectual issue on evolution by compassion, and a spiritual issue as to why I am here. Anti-hunting is one of my callings." ~ Anthony Marr, Founder and President

Donnie: can you provided a link or address to that other site? This Marr person sounds like a nut-cake.

I think I'm going to write a donation check of $1,147 to Hunt of a Lifetime so terminally ill kids can go on the hunt or fishing trip of their dreams. That comes out to one dollar for every one of Marr's nutty sycophants at GAHC.

How wonderful! Another little tin pot dictator starting another AR group! And what on earth is "evolution by compassion"? Gobbledygook...

I was wondering about the "evolution by compassion" comment, as well. Evolution isn't about compassion, evolution is about survival. Typical daft, vacuous AR babble.

I think that animal culling should be done by a few professional people and these hunting plebs should be banned from doing it. Animals should not die in the name of sport and should not be terrorized before being euthanized (<---- this being the operative word as in should be the case), at the least. There has to be something wrong with people who enjoy causing suffering and fear to animals, and to cap it, then kill them. Pretty much warped way to have fun, in my opinion.

I personally feel that my human rights are being violated by hunters right now on a daily basis, I have a right to peace of mind and to live where I live in peace (and it is a foregone conclusion that the poor animals who dont have a voice or a choice have a right to not be terrorized to death at somebody's pleasure). I would seriously like to see hunters wiped from the face of the earth and believe me if I can do anything about it I will. If only 21% of the population think hunting is ok then perhaps you should examine why the remainder are against it and remember you are in a minority which will get smaller with time and yes - evolution. Cave men went out of season a long time ago, in case you did not notice, we have supermarkets now and if you want sport why dont you take up gymnastics or something less violent or there is always judo or karate or even clay pidgeon shooting or archery.

You're going to have to bring that up to $ 1,415 because the membership since yesterday has gone up by about 300 members.

Enough time spent here... Yuck!

"Hunters wiped from the face of the earth"

Charming.

Funny; this brings to mind the post I thought I'd seen before.....not quite sure what to make of your statement, Catlady. How do you define 'sports' hunting, anyway?

I believe most polls suggest that the magority of people support hunting for meat or the control of animal populations. I believe that was what Donnie was alluding to.

Would you also expect degreed engineers and architects to take on sole responsibility for jobs otherwise filled by construction "plebs"? Hell why bother with a willing and able workforce, much less an uncompensated and voluntary one like hunters? Makes no sense at all, eh?

Hi everyone

what are you all like!?

Yes, I was a bit strong on the ''wipe'' bit - send them to Timbuktu or something, I spend about from 6am in the morning until 2am in the next morning of my day on cats, feeding them, cleaning their houses spending time with them, it takes a while to get around them all and when the last one is done I have to start all over again - my choice I know, and I am not complaining at all - it is a privilege to have them, but running after 11 cats can be quite a job when there are three different groups of them all in different places and I am awaiting a cat run to be built - which will make this sort of situation easier I should imagine.


You do not have a clue what I do or how much I care about my cats.

Basically, The hunters are a pest in my life and certainly the cats could do without them also - I don’t want them anywhere near my cats and I do wish they would vanish. I don’t agree with them if I am to be honest anyway.

Maybe human rights was the wrong description, but I simply want them not to be shooting here but have to put up with it and I am thinking why do I have to put up it - why can't they be the ones to go away instead - primarily, for my animals sake and safety and my piece of mind on their behalf - they are terrified when it starts even in the shed - I simply don’t want the shooting or any of it near us, I want them to go away, I can’t go away, I and my cats live here - I spend a lot of time worrying about the 2 cats whom I am trying to learn to stay in the outbuildings but have yet to achieve it - it’s not simple to do and yes it is stressful, to me anyway - because I am responsible for my cats and I want to make it as safe for them as I can. Hunters are just a nasty big spanner in the works of my life, (ok so plebs was a bit insulting - point taken). If I did not care I would hardly be worrying about it and I would not be here.

Also, I don’t think for one minute that the animals who are being shot at are not suffering, I have stood there and watched them in their last moments (poor creatures) and it is done for sport - or hobby whatever ... all the same... for someone’s pleasure or relaxation/recreation, what can be fun about scaring and killing animals like that?! Food is one thing but sport is quite another.

It is my opinion.

As for those % figures.. Put it this way, if many people witnessed it firsthand they would soon be against it when they see a little bunny run for its life and be shot at then dead, it is horrible & horrific. It is all very well saying something is this or that when one is not near to it but to see it is another story. Educated on seeing that - yes, educated on shooting animals - yes - done it, been there and decided no way, never again and do not agree.
