Yes, I specifically excluded sanctioned/lawful wildlife management practices.

Unfortunately you'll see this a lot with polar bears, which is one of the reasons why proper waste management is so critical in Arctic towns/villages.

Poor waste management practices are capable of attracting more than just polar bears, but they are the most dangerous, for a host of reasons.

You wanted to engage on the topic of hunting. But you expected to be the only one allowed to be asking questions.

So instead of answering the one question asked of you, you generate bogus reasons to justify why you're above responding to any questions about your motivations, or knowledge/experience of the subject.

I'm not sure you even know what subsistence hunting is. Maybe you know the definition, but not the context. It seems like you assume everyone lives in an urban area, and can live a vegan lifestyle by going to the grocery store.

From eating them and growing up in an area with a lot of subsistence, and sports, hunting.

[-] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

You mean you don't find merit in them. But I'm done, because at least I tried to answer your questions. Where you made no attempt at answering the one question I've asked you twice.

Which itself is answer enough.

People who hunt prey for trophies, and waste the meat, are also pieces of shit. It's called wanton waste, and it's illegal.

But no one hunts predators for their meat. They hunt them for sport. They hunt them because they get a joy from killing them, and for no other reason. I'm not sure what you're not getting about this. They only keep the meat, because again, it's wanton waste and it's illegal.

Bear meat is disgusting. Predators do not taste good. They're killed so weak men can feel strong. They hunt predators because they enjoy killing for the sake of killing, and for trophies. That's it.

This is the third time I rearticulated the same point, which everyone else here seems to get.

Now that I've done that for you, can you please let me know which one of these you are:

A. Someone who hunts predators.

B. Someone who has no experience with, or knowledge of, hunting.

I think they still have legal requirements about wanton waste, or at least best effort.

The no tag limit makes sense though, as they're an incredibly invasive species and the aspirational goal is removal.

None of this should be considered legal advice, I could be mistaken on the regulations. You should check them out yourself to make sure I'm not full of shit, or confused.

They do. Texas allows ariel hunting of hogs, there's no season, and no tag limit. I know lots of other areas have similar approaches of differentiating hunting laws and seasons when it comes to invasive species.

All the hunters I've known, have been an outdoor guys and nature conservationists, but also conservative usually.

There's prey animals, like deer. Those are hunted for subsistence, to eat and use.

Predators do not taste good, they taste bad in fact. They are not hunted for subsistence to feed your family, they're hunted for sport. They are killed for fun, so assholes can stuff them and mount their heads on walls.

So yeah, there's a difference. Either you yourself, like to hunt predators for sport, or you have no experience with, or knowledge of, hunting at all. Either way, your take is awful.

Fuck anyone who hunts bears.

There is a natural order to prey and predators.

If you're going to hunt a predator, and it's not for sanctioned wildlife management culls, get a Bowie knife and have at it. Otherwise, I hope you suffer a horrible death.

I'm not anti-hunting, at all. Hunting is easily the most humane way to eat meat. But hunting predators is a sport, not subsistence.

You can pretty much guarantee that anyone who hunts predators for sport, is a gigantic asshole and you should not feel bad about wishing them harm. I would take that statement even further, but I don't want the mods to remove this comment.

To be clear, no one likes bear meat, they're opportunistic scavengers. These bears were hunted for sport most likely, but the hunters were slightly better than your average bear hunting asshole, and at least didn't waste the meat. Most likely because it would be a wasted kill, and illegal.

Shouldn't there at least have been a summary ruling on whether or not the plaintiff was in fact, a cunt?

Because honestly, I imagine there's a lot of cunts all over that factory floor. Maybe he was the only bald one. It's a pretty important descriptor and you wouldn't want to confuse workers on the shop floor.

What if you left out "bald" and then dangerously distracted the nearby curly haired cunt, or ginger cunt?

I can't wait for the nonfiction historical accounts of the FEMA deathcamps, or revised textbooks that accurately tell the story of how a devout group of Salem men saved the country from witches and witchcraft.

God damn I'm excited. Let's go Texas, let's get even stupider with it.

It's also a way to get the state to pay for religious education, but most importantly, to weaken public education.

Charter schools, much lauded by plenty of mainstream Republicans and Democrats, also perform a similar function. But it's not just low income kids they keep out, it's also the difficult kids' with bad home lives, behavioral problems, and special needs. Mind you, public schools legally have to enroll every child, as they should.

But wouldn't you know, Charter Schools have an admissions process, and well, not everyone can make the cut...

This enables upper and middle class enclaves, who wouldn't otherwise spring for a private education, to achieve a somewhat similar results, but with public funds.
