A shooting is happening right now at Vassar College. It is the fourth the campus has seen in the past six years. Over 115 have already been killed, their blood spilled on the college fields. Yet, it’s unlikely you’ve heard anything about it. The national media remains silent; not even the local news has covered the grieving families or lost friends. No candlelight vigils, no memorials, no communal mourning, as the victims remain unidentified and seemingly forgotten…
…In the brewing national discussion on gun violence, the most numerous victims–animals–are left out of the conversation. For every human life taken by a gun, hundreds, if not thousands, of nonhuman lives have also been taken. Yet for these victims, gun control advocates not only erase their deaths, but also actively promote and protect the killings. We fail to label the unnecessary killing of animals as gun violence, and instead we euphemize and romanticize it as “sportsmanship.”

This is what happens when ignorant privileged kids have access to keyboards and a website. What makes me laugh even harder is the fact that they believe themselves to be attuned with nature…without stepping into the wilderness themselves. You can bet that the authors cannot differentiate between a wolf track and an ATV track and that at the presence of scat, they would swear somebody dropped a Tootsie roll or a Snickers bar. Then again what can you expect from people whose food struggle is to make sure that the chunk of organically-produced tofu bought at Whole Foods is not past its expiration date.
Interesting that even in the wildly left venue of a Huffpost blog the comments are running at least 10:1 against this idiot piece. Deer, of course are the deadliest wild animal in North America.
The average hunter is going to be at least 1,000% more knowledgeable about animals and a healthy ecosystem than your average anti-hunter.
As I read the whole thing, I could feel IQ points trying to leave my brain. I’m glad these people pay thousands of dollars for their excellent education.
Give it 5 years and MDA/Everytown et al. will include the start of rifle season in their mass shooting statistics.
Remember, if you let them ban scary black guns, they’ll leave your deer rifle and your duck gun alone…right?
YGTBSM!!! That’s a parody, right? Right??? Sigh
most anti hunters have no Idea what they are talking about when it comes to the animals they say they are trying to protect.The hunters have done more for the animals survival then they ever thought of.
I once saw a car with a “Meat is murder!” sticker on one side of the bumper and a “I vote Pro-Choice!” sticker on the other. Apparently an immunity to irony is a requirement for membership in both groups.
