How is that harsh? That's the kind of penalty he needs. While he's sitting in prison he'll be getting way more interest on the money to has than anyone on here makes in a year probably. I'm sure he'll be fine.
tomASS, that's the exception, not the rule. A person going out to hurt for sport is different than someone going to hurt so people can live.

You can't just say someone's a hypocrite and it makes it so.
In my book, hunting for sport and dogfighting are similar in that an animal that didn't have to die dies.
If you are doing something that is possibly otherwise "wrong" for the purpose of survival, such as killing animals, that is fine.
There is a huge line between something for sport and for survival. And I'm still curious to hear about these people who count on hunting for their survival.

Yeah Neutron.... others would have to agree with you
So I agree! But I doubt anyone else will though
Oh and Lee..I mean Nanny
Duluth is not the little village that BIAFP was referring to now is it??
If so send out a posse, not a search team, and feel free to use dogs!

That's not in the US and that is people that are personally hunting for the food and getting it for their survival, not "rural families of the US." Nice try though.

Every been to rural WV? rural KY and TN, ME, - I don't think you have seen rural poverty if you don't think many of these locations have families that depend upon hunting and trapping to feed the families.
pull you head out of your.......................arse
I could go to the store and buy a couple pounds of ground chuck or I could put a couple pounds of venison in my chilli, either way meat is going in. I can and do hunt for some of the food I eat, I don't need to but the game I cook takes the place of meat I would have boughten and eaten anyway. Do I need to hunt to survive, no, but I do need to eat, I am an ominvore so either way something had to die to feed me.
Equating torturing animals to hunting is standard PETA thinking. By any standard torturing animals is illegal, Hormel would get fined, farmers get their livestock taken away and fined, etc.
Either way an animal is dying, like you said. But then you had to pull the legal card. I'm not personally involved, but I've heard stories from people who have slaughtered animals for packing and what not. And we all know how chickens, cows for milk, and many other animals are treated and the hormones that are pumped into them. If you don't call that torture, what do you call it?
We're not equating them by any means. We've been over this. If we were we wouldn't compare them, we'd just say that they're the same. I'm not saying what Vick did is okay, I'm saying hunting is wrong, so if you come back to me and say "well, what Vick did is wrong" that doesn't solve anything.
Yes, what he did is wrong, why is hunting not?
Not sure what it's from: "If a cannibal used a knife and fork, would you call that civilized?"
typically when parties can not agree - they shoot ( )for clarity of positions.
I don't think you achieved that goal either.
And who is this "we" you keep refering to?
to answer your private message to me - ever see a single-wide trailer in the mountains of Maine with burlap as the front door, no running water or an outhouse and the kids running around in no shoes during the summer while what they wear are in tatters and dirty?
Go to your church and see if they have a summer mission trip to one of the many rural poverty areas of our country. Then go and try your "hunting is bad" argument on them.
Not sure why you continue since that's been asked and answered. Based on what I've said, why would hunting be bad for them? They are hunting for their very survival. If you want to continue to repeat the same thing over and over, you'll get the same answer over and over.
The "we" I'm referring to is those who understand the definitions of words in the English language. Huge difference between that of compare and equate.

Because these are your thoughts of clarity on your 8:10 post
Wow, it's like we're going backwards in the conversation. Boldface this quote too, "A person going out to hurt for sport is different than someone going to hurt so people can live." And then there's one from a few hours before that.
What I am saying is that hunting for sport is wrong. If you'd like me to insert "for sport" in with my last few posts, I can, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt to know that. My bad.

Dick Butkus was a person who liked to go out and HURT for sport.
Freudian slip? you've done this several times and the "r" is no where near the "n" on my keyboard.
