Senseless and Sad

Hunters came into a cove community. My friend's pet ducks swam straight to the boat and the men shot and killed them. She'd raised them since they were babies. They'd never learned to fly. They were so tame, they'd go up to her back door and quack till she fed them. They pit stopped at the other homes on the cove regularly. I don't get it.I don't understand hunting anyway. The thrill of taking a life from an animal that's defenseless against a gun or bow. How is that sport? But to me, this is like going in someone's backyard and shooting their dog. It's senseless and sad.

Very sad, indeed.

hunters are usually impotent or have small willies!

Pat Hatt said...

Sad indeed, never got the point of it either

That's disgusting! I would want to find them and see if I couldn't somehow arrest them or something. How is it sport when the ducks freely went up to them? How can they use them afterward if they were shot all to hell? This is disgusting and I am pissed to read about this. Were these assh$%& supposed to be in that community? Were they not too close to homes? I hope she can nail them in some way or another

That is senseless and sad. I've always said that hunting can only be a sport if the animals have guns and can shoot back.

Love,
Janie

This makes me sad, too. Why do some people get their thrill from killing something? I wonder why they were in the community, too. It doesn't sound like a hunting area, they just made it into one.

I hope someone confronted them on it, jerks! I love ducks, they're some of my favorite birds.

I'm actually not against hunting, I advocate for it. Though only for people who do with nothing but their fists. And the only thing they can prey on is healthy adult Grizzly Bears.

Hi, CJ. Yeah, it was.

It truly is, Pat.

Birgit, She called the game warden and nada.

Sandra Cox said...

I like that idea, Janie! :)

Sandra Cox said...

I've never understood it either, Elizabeth. Or some peoples need to fire off firearms inside a community.

Sandra Cox said...

She sure did, Leandra. I love ducks too.

You made me smile, Adam:) I heartily concur.
