Quote by: Anmon  Its not a bunny hunting course, you don't get a certificate at the end of it showing you had passed all the grades and assignments.
You simply get shown how to kill rabbits, possibly cut their throats, gut, skin and blood them, and of course how to cook them over an open fire, other survival skills would be shown as well, like how to make a fire with no matches or lighter etc that kind of stuff.
I suppose a certificate could be given out at the end of it.
Says who? What about all the people struggling to pay their bills, a bit of free meat on the table each week, could save the average family over a thousand each year.
Its a new learning experience for kids, like everything else is for them, thats why.
Yeah well tough they have too.
Just shoot the buggers. |
Did I ever say hand out certificates? No. It's not a survival skill, survival skills are something that you can easily use out in the wild. For example, if kids took 'a bunny hunting course', it would not help them survive out in the wild. In Canada there are not that many natural rabbits (they are extremely difficult to find), and the kid couldn't use her/his bunny hunting skills in the wild. Its useless.
They still don't need it, no one actually needs it to be honest. There is
almost no way a family, if they live in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, ect., needs to hunt to live. Very, very few do. Only if they live in very remote places.
Its not a new learning experience, all it will do is de-sensitize then to killing, which may cause alot of problems in the future.

Quote by: The Bacon Guy Well, like I said, in places where deer population is not and will not become excessive, people shouldn’t be hunting.
We’ve not created a problem though; we’ve simply changed (I would argue improved) the manner in which deer are kept under control. We’ve really done the deer no disservice.
We’ve simply removed one method of killing the deer (wolves) and replaced it with a more efficient method of killing the deer (hunting). Why is this a bad thing?
But they’re both exactly the same thing as far as a deer is concerned. In fact, hunting is superior since less deer need to be killed in order for the population to be controlled.
And that’s where the logic fails. A deer is not a human and therefore applying human emotions and values to it will never be valid.
Thousands of people claim to have experienced it. There’s such a thing as the power of suggestion, coincidence, wishful thinking and downright lying.
So she had a ginger cat which died and then she met another ginger cat. Amazing.
The animal communicator who makes a living off telling people their dead pets are talking to him.
So basically we have a woman who has owned four ginger cats in her life. Truly astounding.
Possibly a coincidence though more likely a fabrication.
That’s not the only reason someone will lie. Some aspects of the story may have been true and these may have convinced her that her animal’s soul is floating around. Then, since she’s utterly convinced that her story is true, she makes up some new aspects of it in order to make it more believable to others.
According to the author of the book, yes. That’s assuming this lady existed in the first place and wasn’t simply a fabrication of the author. You really shouldn’t be so trusting of people who are trying to take your money. |
Have you ever been to North America? We have ruined alot of the deer's natural habitats, and they have been forced out of them. We have ruined alot of the ecosystem they were once in, which is causing problems (eg. overpopulation). By trying to bandage up the ecosystem by hunting the excess deer will not be sustainable in the long run.
The so called more efficient way is a bandage solution, and wont work in the long run. Also, cougars are the biggest predator of deer, not wolves. Also its not natural.
Then you make a better one. Neither of us can go into a deers mind, so to judge what a deer would think we best put our feelings on it and not make some ridiculous statement that deer would rather die.
I think we are going around the rose bush here.
No, if you believe all those stories are false, then you are doing some wishful thinking of your own.
Not a fabrication, nor a coincidence. Of course you wont believe anything to do with an afterlife, it goes against your beliefs (I'm assumining you are an atheist, sorry if I'm wrong).
I knew if I posted the story you would try to dissect every bit of it. Thats why I didn't want to in the first place. I wanted you to read the book, where there are a hundred or so stories about ordinary people having communication with their pet after they are dead.
Theres alot of proof in that book.
Also, NDEs. When people have them, they not only see their relatives but also their pets. Now please don't go saying its a fabrication of the mind, since I doubt all these people that are having then are lying or 'wishful' thinking.
I'm not a gullable person at all, I just have an open mind.
Take my money?
