Pacelle’s HSUS again shows distasteful image to world

Washington’s general deer hunting season opens Saturday. Thousands of photos will be snapped to preserve the memories of hard work, fabulous scenery, quality family time, good friends and, for perhaps 10 percent of the hunters, success in filling a tag.

Until recently, it was silly to think that snapping a photo of a lucky hunter could be illegal.

Perhaps no outdoor sport is saddled with so many nerve-wracking rules as hunting.

You must be able to identify species and distinguish moose, caribou, elk and deer even in dark timber where animals may be partially obscured by vegetation.

  And it still is. But you know that and choose to pander to your toothless yokel hate crowd out there fondling their Mossbergs and dreaming of flinging a big ole buck over the hood of their 1999 Ford F-350 Homo Erectus Edition duallie pickup. Yup.

  Although, the point you've clearly missed is that banning youtubes of deer being gutted by laughing idiot young men, or sticks being poked in bullet woundsin the sides of elk is that most normal America is completely squicked out by what the shrinking minority of American's who call themselves “hunters” think is cool and awesome. So, if you really think all those gory youtubes help your cause, hey I'm with ya, man.

  By the way, nice emotional screed against an organization you feel isn't upright and honest.

  Still a lifetime member of the NRA, are you?

  I prefer ranch raised hypocrisy to ones shot in forests, but hey, we're all different.

  It's not a problem to find the worst type of picture of anything when a person wants to denigrade that object. Take a look at all the pictures of Nancy Pelosi (although she makes a good candidate). One can always find the nastiest item to use for their advantage.

  Pacelle and HSUS have stated their goal is to stop ALL hunting and they will do it one species at a time. It's a fact that hunting helps wildlife by keeping populations in check and also provides necessary funds (thru license fee's etc) that promote all forms of wildlife conservation, both huntable wildlife and protected wildlife. It seems to me HSUS and Pacelle are somewhat hipocritical. Stop hunting and watch important funds for wildlife conservation disapear.

  I refuse to donate any funds to HSUS and suggest all other people concerned about wildlife do the same. If you don't want people to mess around with your freedom of choice, don't fund them.
