So why kill something with the chance of making it suffer (ie bad shot just injures the bird, doesn't kill it) just to leave it to die in pain? Just so some hayseeds can have fun? That's not immoral? Go out in the wild -shoot quail, ducks, geese the moral way and consume it or give it to a homeless shelter, don't leave it dead on the ground.
so you are going to stereotype anyone who is against dirty "cheating" style hunting and anyone against cruelty to animals as being an Obama supporter? So you are saying that all conservatives are unethical towards the treatment of animals? That sounds like something an Obama supporter would say too.
Question again is - why can't this be done with clay pigeons if you want target practice? Yes there are conservative/libertarian minded people on here that are against animal cruelty, which this basically amounts to. This is not hunting. This isn't showing skill by releasing caged animals in basically a captive environment. If you want to shoot ducks out in the wild ethically and you plan on eating the meat, I have no problem with that. But just releasing animals from cages for target practice and sport I have a problem. What I see at this club is a bunch of bucktooth inbreds just trying to prove their manhood that they are insecure about.
Dick Measuring Contest? - funny that the place is called the "Rod and Gun Club" - three of the four words in the name of that place sound pretty subliminal.
I have a feeling that members of the Rod and Gun Club don't care much for anything "French" or than a style of kiss they did with their sister growing up.
Karl,
Finally someone I agree with. I used to be a deer hunter and I have no problem with people hunting for food, but I do have a problem with hunting for sport - when you aren't eating the animal or using something from it - and just killing it to kill it. On top of this these birds are not even out in the wild, they are being released from cages - what is the challenge? Why not go skeet shooting or use clay pigeons? All I am seeing here are a bunch of rednecks at a club that are probably jealous of a pigeon that is more well endowed than them - that is why they have to shoot it. Does it make them "more of a man"? They are all probably married to their cousins and sisters and can't produce children.
Actually that would Animal Planet - could do an episode called "Pigeon Wars" based on Whale Wars and have the drones shoot off those rotten egg things that the Whale Wars guys would throw at the Japanese boats. They could get themselves a little F-22 Stealth looking drone like the Audy Gil boat.
Next time one of those drones get shot down, the guy controlling it should crash land it in the parking area and aim for the windshield of one of those redneck's pick up trucks.
Bubba: Hey Billy Bob... check out the size of that pigeon!
Billy Bob: Yeehaw... lets shoot it down, maybe my cousin...err my wife will finally see me as a man!!!
