The Bunny hunter?
It is needed, they are a pest over here.
Much better, the structure made a lot more sense.
No the world needs balanced individuals who use commonsense, not psychos who kill needlessly, and not the other extreme, sissified nancy boys.
Our own western society is staring to resemble itself a Morlocks and Eloi sort of situation straight out of HG Wells, on one hand you have lots of violent screwed up individuals, and on the other lots of weak effeminate kids who cant defend themselves, both are wrong, what you need is a well balance person, who is not violent for the sake of being violent, but not defenseless either.
Well it is in a way, if you watch too much of it, kids should be outdoors as much as possible, all the time playing in the sun and having adventures, not hiding away in houses in front of screens all the time.
We have gone over this, the rabbits are being killed for good reasons, reasons I have stated twice already.
They are food, and pest, you place far too much importance on their existance.
lol that would be a pretty big enclosure.
Its soft when it gets in the way of common sense.
I am going shooting in a few months time with my cousins, and I shall dedicate my first rabbit kill to you Matt. |
Well, thank-you english teacher *places sarcasm right here*
Yes, the bunny hunter.
So you are saying that kids need to learn how to defend themselves from bunnies?!
Agreed, they shouldn't be watching a screen all the time, they should be getting out and exploring and having fun, and killing rabbits doesn't have to be a part of that.
No, you haven't stated any 'good reasons'. The population control...I can slightly get, but it can be done in other more humane ways. Can you tell me what damage the rabbits are doing in Australia?
You place far too little importance on their life. You seem to believe humans are wayyyyyyyyy above anything else on earth, and we don't have to treat them well. If everyone had that attitude towards animals, it would be a very sad place.
Common sense? Explain how common sense is to kill something that people don't need to kill.

Quote by: The Bacon Guy Your answer was that wolves go for older, less fit deer. You still haven’t told me why this is a good thing as far as overpopulation is concerned. Many more deer will have to be killed to keep the population down if we have wolves rather than hunters.
Right, but the deer themselves never chose to help us.
Actually I’d rather just keep them myself.
Why not neuter them? Because it’s expensive and impractical, whereas killing them achieves the same end in a more efficient way. Other animal populations are kept in check by predation; it's the way nature works. So why should deer be treated any differently?
Or predation. If natural is so great, why should we control the population by an unnatural means (neutering) when we can control it by natural means (killing)?
So…how does that prove that deer know what happened to them after they’re dead?
And how do you know a deer would feel this?
I'm not going to go hunting round my library trying to prove your argument for you. That's up to you to do. |
And again, its not all about population control, which is what you are entirely focussing on, its also about the deer themselves.
I know, all of us would rather keep the money to ourselves, but we can't.
Other populations are mostly controlled by natural predation, deer on the other hand are a different story, so they require a different method. Impratical in your mind, not the deers. They would rather live.
How is killing by humans in North America natural? It isn't. Neither is neutering, but with neutering it saves lives.
That wasn't meant to prove that deer know what happens after they die, it was meant to show people, if we use common sense, what the deer would be thinking or feeling in those situations. Of course, it wouldn't be 100% accurate by any means, but unless someone can get into a deers mind, I think thats a pretty good guess.
You don't have to go looking for the book, though then you have no evidence to prove that there is no afterlife for animals. I do...in that book. And I don't have time to order the book, then copy each story in it word by word.
