Default RE: National Geographic Hunting in America

Say you guys were a member on the non hunting public. Didn' t really like it but as long as you didn' t have to see it you were ok with it.

Now you watch this show and see an extreme close up of a hen phesant, although already dead, gasping for its' last breath. Also it' s legs shot off and all of the blood on the hunters arm. Also the lady breaking the phesants neck to give it the quickest death possible. But all you see is her twisting an animals neck until it snaps.

You also see the host of the show petting a dead bear and almost break down into tears while on camera.

You see cruel acts of a pigeon / turkey shoot portrayed as hunting and that' s the " hunt" that turned a hunter to an anti hunter. And now you think you will take up this fight also.

You see " trophy hunters" portrayed as hunting for no other reason than to hang a head on their wall. Nothing ever gets mentioned about the fact that none of the meat gets wasted. The natives, native grocery stores etc. eat and sell the meat for food.

You see the elk hunter bad mouthing other hunters because they shoot the bigger animals and don' t hunt just for the meat. Although that is still their main reason for hunting.

You see caged bears and partying college students harrassing the bears and now associate that with hunting.

You see this wacko flying around in his glider harrassing the goose hunters and even though he was arrested you think it' s ok and worth the risk to do this if it will save one single goose.

The idiot prefessor fom Boulder shows domestic dogs and the way thay act and now think that wld animals act just like this. Nothing gets mentioned about how the animals face these " stalking" animals every day of their lives. He would also get the highest power rifle and shoot an animal from the longest distance so as not to cause any stress on the animal. Never mind the fact that he would probably just end up wounding the animal and never finding it. But this is ok in his book.

Now how would you feel about hunting after this?
