I wasn't gonna say anything as I have strong feelings about the anti BS and everyones fears about it and don't care to get into it as many would disagree with my opinion but the old lady comment is a bit off. Someone getting mugged has no comparison to something getting stuck in a swing. That is a cruelty between two beings and the swing deer is simply a deer who got stuck by his own doing. However you think those two are related what ever but I'm gonna leave it at that. WCL

I don't equate animals to humans, but cruelty is cruelty! Vick got 2 years in the pen, mugging an old lady will probably get you 10! Being cruel is a willful act no matter who or what animal its done to!
The time spent getting the camera and filming could be used to cut the swing! Have you ever seen a trapped animal that has starved or break its neck? I have! Theres just nothing funny about it!

Again your examples don't compair as that is a being causin harm to another being. If you think the man holding the camera is being cruel your nutz. That man holdin the camera isnt causing any harm to the animal or preventing any time wasted to free the animal. If your so gung ho about it I'd like to see you jump in their and rastle that buck and cut the rope. Good luck and we won't feel sorry for you when you get you arse kicked and step back with that deer still stuck goin "man that was a bad idea, I better let him settle down and tire out" Also nobody ever said an animal starving or breaking its neck was funny. I've seen the same thing and in no way is it funny and I tap as well and take it very seriously as it is a duty to control populations and disease and animals suffering but your making more of this little video clip than it really is so settle down and go fight real cases of animal cruelty and not a video speculation make things seem worse than they really are. I was done a few posts ago but now I am done for sure cuz I'm just not getting these hail marry comparisons. Take er easy and have a good one. WCL

I think he's just trying to make the point that someone finding amusement out of anothers suffering, human or animal, makes them an unethical person on that standpoint, and I agree. I can't say that I saw anything funny about that. I don't mean to yell down from a soapbox, but I wouldn't want anyone hunting with me that found an animal in distress to be amusing. It's called respect.
