@packoftwenty How about you just lay down and die whenever you get the chance? Hunting does more to save the "earth" than you ever would. The money obtained from hunting licenses and the balance in which hunters uphold keep conservation a realistic ideal. So please, you go and keep trying to destroy the natural world, leave the conservation to the people who "enjoy" "causing pain, suffering and death wherever," we go.

Hunting will forever be a part of nature, humans are animals just like the deer. just like a lion hunts a gazelle a human hunts deer. you say oh hunting is murder. its actually alot better than having a wolf or some other species bite and let the deer slowly bleed to death, humans do it quick and clean. If we let every deer on earth live say goodbye to rabbits and squirrels and other species because the deer ate their food source and their extinct, hunting is animal managment thumb up if u agree

@r0hirim I sure don't fully understand my own feelings. Distress with another suffering is empathy, no? The mutual harmony friends/lovers feel, the grief when their friend dies? Animals would experience a variety of empathy levels. My dog responds to even people's subtlest emotional expressions, unlike my cats, but the females are more sensitive than males. It's a mystery, what other animals really think/feel, but I believe my empathy for them is real.

@Zevarye I see your point, sadness, maybe. But 'empathy' no. Sure they might experience sadness with the concept of death and pain, but the one thing they are not, is empathic. Empathy requires an understanding of another being's feelings which requires a certain level of self awareness. A level mostly only found in Humans, some apes and dolphins also. Without the ability to fully understand its own feelings, it can't be expected to understand those of another being (empathy).

@r0hirim I like hunting, and suffering is an unavoidable fact of existence, but how the fuck do you know how other animals think/feel? 'Sadness' and 'empathy' are basic, animal instincts, too.

[r0hirim]

@packoftwenty "What's it like being incapable of feeling the suffering of others?" Firstly, Deer have no coherent, conscious thought, they therefore aren't capable of feeling the suffering of others themselves. Also, to answer your question, we wouldn't like an arrow shot into us because we don't like pain... neither does the Deer, I know, but that Deer feels pain as we do (as a natural instinct to have us keep away from harm) but no more. It doesn't feel "sad" as it isn't intelligent enough.

@fowlarcher I think that's so he can hear the deer better ;)

hey what pound draw is that bow?

[fowlarcher]

Nice take, buddy! I can't believe he gave you a second shot, but I'm only familiar with Blacktails and Mulies, so I don't know... I have missed Bandtail Pigeons, then blasted them when they came back to see what all the noise was about, though.

And what the hell was on your earlobe? Is that your anchor point?
