hey, thats pretty cool. you know, i think we need something like this. an organization that shows people that hunters aren't killing machines.

the other day i was talking to a friend that i had no idea was an anti-hunter. and when the subject of hunting came up and how i hunt she started saying how bad it is. so, in defense, i told her everything i knew about hunters and how they control population, protect native species and conserve nature. i must have explained the facts at least 5 times and every time when i finished, she'd say," Yeah, but killing animals is mean". but i think she was finally overwhelmed with the facts and decided to not be so negative about it.

thats why i think we need something like this, to educate people about hunting and also to show them that we are all for the prevension of animal cruelty, just not stopping hunting.

good luck guys

I was thinking about making a website too, but I didn't have the time.

RE: Time to join H.E.T.A.
 

I think sniper did a great job on the web design but am still a little confused on the mission of this. Do you mean to actually speak out on certain types of "cruelty" and if so, where do you draw the line? or is this going to be an org that's main purpose is to refute peta's rhetoric? I think definition of goals would be the key to something like this

good luck

That is great! I agree with hillbilly. You got my support on a great idea, but it would need to come out against unethical treatment of animals. If its just a pro hunting site, there are plenty of those.

Need to show a straving deer in over grazed Metro park as a reason to hunt .

hillbillyhunter1 & jones123,
It's not going to be just another "hunting" site, It will be about hunters educating the general public on how hunters feel about animal cruelty & teach them that hunting is not "cruel" & "inhumane" & that we, as hunter, view animal cruelty the same as everyone else.
Where do we draw the line, somewhere down the middle.. people need to know what hunters are all about & that it's NOT our mission to "kill" any & every thing that's not human. Peta & other groups have most of the general public thinking what we enjoy doing is WRONG & BAD & is no longer needed in this day & age. That is not true.. if we stop hunting, most of the animals that are here now will not be here tomorrow!
I'll have more information for everyone later.

Sniper, what would your response be to one of these treehuggers that asked your organization stand on bowhunting? How about bison hunting the herds coming off Yellowstone and can I use primative weapon? Maybe I am being a devils advocate but it is beyond me how some of these others want to join and have not a clue what you consider inhuman and what I consider it to be.
There is already organizations out there that I belong to that promote my sport. Montana Bowhunters Association and RMEF as well as the NRA believe in humane killing also and have a higher membership and only in numbers that represent my views will I support and I know that these organization have a lobby that makes my voice be heard. I would belong to others but there is just so much money to go around. Good day, Bobby
