Big game backlash: Protests against celebrity hunter Melissa Bachman mount

[jllundqu]

How is this not hunting? And who cares if she personally didn't do all the hard work, same end result: dead animal, awesome trophy.

Anyone who hunts for a "trophy" should be flogged. They are a disgrace and they are not hunters... they are cowards.

I could have sworn Orlando Bloom was a chick.

No- not when he is fighting for and against Cap'n Jack Sparrow.

You have an unhealthy attraction to Orlando Bloom...

 

[Ender]

You have an unhealthy attraction to Orlando Bloom...

No- YOU do- as a chick. I was just proving he is not.

I personally like Legolas and what he stands for- Orlando simply played him in the movie.

Give it a shot. Bet she whips your ass.

Beautiful, kcchiefs6465! His last words are extremely profound.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[Danke]

The "girl" isn't a girl. It's Legolas the Elf warrior from Lord of the Rings, who is superb with a bow. The part is played by Orlando Bloom.

Funny, you're the 2nd person that thought the avatar was a girl- thought RP forum members would be a little more hip to LOTR.

Didn't watch the video, but I'm assuming the lion ate him?

Oh. Ha.

You know what they say about ASSuming, Eduardo.

 

[Ender]

My girlfriend tells me I'm a boy.

 

[Danke]

Didn't watch the video, but I'm assuming the lion ate him?

Not yet. Remember Timothy Treadwell?

 

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Looks like the uh--"female"--version of another ass clown named Nugent.

It won't be long before somebody busts them for their trophy hunting--feed the world hypocrisy by discovering a dead bear on a pile of beer bottles.

 

[Czolgosz]

We can befriend them, eat them, and put 'em up as trophies. Love how the big kittehs close their eyes as they hug that dude.

I'm with Mercer (who extends her criticism to neocon barbarian princess S. E. Cupp) and many others here.

“It’s perfectly legal,” roared the conservative pack animals stateside. Especially eager to exhibit their macho-girl credentials were the younger chicks of this silly species. …

… More to the point: an act that is legal is not necessarily moral…

… At best, these “conservative” screeches can lay claim to an impoverished, utilitarian philosophy, whereby such gratuitous, showy killing is condoned because it reduces man’s evil incentives to kill unprovoked.

Another gargoyle with a gun is teletart S. E. Cupp. Here Cupp is sprawled over a bear’s carcass, facial features deformed in Dionysian ecstasy.

The statement must first be qualified: I am a girl with guns. The writer’s weapon of choice is the Smith and Wesson 686P .357 4″. This gorgeous piece will fend off most wild beasts. But certain bedrock principles—arguably a true conservative mindset—dictate a respect for life. A life-conserving sensibility means that guns are meant for self-defense, not for needless killing. …
[...]
And Cupp is a leader of the pack, a luminary in the Age of the Idiot. The “intellectual” forte of this low-watt woman is to gesture wildly and grimace, while parroting the talking points and mind-numbing banalities disgorged by every other Bush bootlicker before her.

“The secret to becoming a successful right-wing columnist-cum-circus animal,” quipped Canadian conservative writer Kevin Michael Grace, “is to echo the mob while complimenting yourself on your daring. The rest is exploitation of the sexual masochism of the American male – he just can’t get enough of the kitten with claws.”

Those libido-driven males (for they are not men) who’ve deified “Duck Dynasty” also lap up the antics of America’s boneheaded Lolita. Watch this heathen skin a small bear. Watch Cupp whip out the little creature’s innards and offer them up to the camera, as she salivates about the fun she’s having.

There is nothing wrong with hunting for food and harvesting the animal humanely, discreetly and respectfully. This, however, is the hedonistic handiwork of an Aztec priestess.

Ilana Mercer: Magda Cracknell Neé Steenkamp: “Canned lion”: that’s a brilliant way of putting it. I admire your tradition and agree with you ethics.

Love all these non-hunters telling people what "a real hunter" is.

Riding around in your outfitted vehicles in an enclosure with guaranteed game is not hunting. The bitch didn't even eat the shit. You are a sociopath to gloat about killing anything, especially that which you do not even take from.

Whoopee. She shot a lion.

 

[shane77m]

It takes a sociopath to eat meat from the supermarket. If you think a woman shooting a lion is cruel then work in the poultry/pork/beef business.

I imagine that more than likely most people getting bent out of shape over the woman killing the lion or people hunting have no problem with a doctor sucking the brains out of a child while it is still in the womb. After all, animals are more important than people.

I have seen the castrated piglets, the debeaked chickens: the factory farms. I am relatively poor, it is what I can afford. I respect the animal's sacrifice and somberly acknowledge my role in the misery of millions of innocent creatures. Killing something for food is different than killing for trophy, or than the horrid conditions many animals live under in today's society. I respect local butchers and the respect they give to their animals. If at all an option, I go with them above prepackaged torture.

I'm not bent out of shape over her killing a lion. I honestly don't care. The issue I have is going to be her gloating attitude and the fact that she didn't take the animal for any moral reason. She simply shot the thing so she could brag, no doubt. (as men with balls which haven't dropped, may) Do not imply I am a progressive. It is dishonest as you well know my views on the matter. I have explained them countless times. They are that which are logical, moral, and the truth. If, by some chance you do not know what I advocate for a particular topic, assume it is that. Your last few lines annoy me. Fallacious, at best, to compare (or imply my position to be akin to) a system of murder for convenience and 'our' utter disregard for life.

I personally wouldn't go on a hunt for a lion, although I can see how if setup properly conservation areas like this where they have hunts can be beneficial to a dwindling species if the conservation area is handled and monitored properly. This lady killed a lion on a hunt on about 5,000 acres (2,000 hectacres according to the article). If she did this on foot, then I definitely don't have a problem with it. If she did the hunt primarily by ATV or vehicle, then its moderately okay in my opinion. If they used helicopters or something of that nature to identify where the lion was located, then its wrong.

I understand the lion is a much more endangered species than a bear, but Troy Gentry,famous Country music star, should REALLY be ridiculed for what he did. He even made a video and this big production acting like he got this bear on a thrilling hunt when in reality it was a TAME bear (actually hand fed in the past) in an ENCLOSED fairly small area. That, in my opinion, is not hunting. And he made it even worse by lying about it and making a video like it was some great achievement.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDsUx4PH5Aw (Worth watching this to see how bad the Troy Gentry bear killing actually was. It REALLY pissed me off)

What Troy Gentry did was one of the most disgusting things I've seen regarding hunting here in the United States. I've hunted since I was either 6 or 7 years old and have eaten every single thing I have ever killed except a few groundhogs that were doing damage to our garden. I go to painstaking care when fly fishing for trout to wet my hands, etc. before handling trout that I return to make sure they inflict as little damage as possible, etc. So, I am in the belief that you eat what you kill. I also prefer something more of a challenge such as muzzleloader, bow, and fly fishing. Although, I use high powered rifles on occasion.
