Thread: Apparently Gamebird shooting is cruel? Raving Vegan??????

This is just a snippet of the drivel being spewed by another of NZME antis. Funnily enough a Waikato Uni Teacher just like NZME Waikato Uni lecturer, sorry firearms expert

The shooters get up before dawn, don camouflage suits and war paint, trek down to lakes, ponds and rivers, and install themselves in hidden huts called maimai to wait for daylight. When they spot their targets they train powerful firearms on them and blast them out of the sky.

Just moments before the birds were sleeping peacefully, heads resting gently on their backs. Next to them their lifelong partners, also sleeping peacefully.
Suddenly their watery refuge is turbulent with panicking family and friends, the air filled with their cries.

Terrified, they take to the sky in an effort to escape, only to be picked off by shooters who fist pump and whoop in delight when they make a kill.

There is so much wrong with duck shooting that it is hard to know where to begin, but we could start with sentience.

By the way you big bag nasty duck shooters, shes a member of safe and they want us banned

Sandra Kyle: Duck-shooting is cowardly and cruel - Opinion - NZ Herald News

She's probably right. But we have a sh*t load of fun doing it, spend time in awesome places with our best friends and family, take organic sustainable harvested meat home, and it's legal - so she can suck eggs.

The way that animals and birds are treated at the meat works, I would much rather do my own killing.

Ditto. Of COURSE Kylie is a teacher. Writer? Open to opinion, e.g. The ducks 're being shot out of the sky, apparently while sleeping. What the duck? Lifetime partners? Drakes are merciless gang rapists, ducks are sluts. Fact of life, Kylie. Of course, that's no reason for shooting the buggers, but as stated, it's sustainable meat harvest, good protein. Next she'll be accusing us of bloodlust. HMMM - She might be right.

theres your mistake to keneff like the galacticly stupid mrs kyle your assigning human values to animals that operate via a far longer and far more sensible ,if at times seemingly cruel, system called survival of the fittest aka nature.
jesus watch a farm the day the rams are put out then she,d really have something to cry about
do your still hear them Clarisse the cabbages?
do you still hear the cabbages screaming

The ear muffs when using the lawn mower are not for the noise of the mower and after running wildly out of control in an orgy of slaughter with the weed eater the ACC bill for my therapy is huge.But I do say a prayer over the compost bin and worm farm.Is it enough to save my soul???
Picked up a hitch hiker,driving along and here is a half grown possum playing chicken on the highway,lined it up but could feel her unease so let it live.Next thing she wants to stop and try and rescue the fucking thing playing chicken herself.Left her there figured someone else could deal with the fruit loop.

There is a prima facie animal welfare case here. Hunters should loudly and publicly oppose abattoirs. That will get the message across.

My mate has a dozen or so ducks that live on his back paddock. One of them is missing a leg and gets gang raped by the rest! Is it OK to just shoot the rapey ones perhaps?

@Tommy

How do you know this is rape?

Maybe the one legged Duck is a total slut who is totally into this and has given consent, quack quack!

Can an animal even understand the concept of Rape?
