they'll have my head mounted on a wall!
"grrr," says a typical man's man on the boob tube..."i certainly don't need an assault rifle to shoot a ...duck!" how nice of you, big ole "sportsman", but...oh, big man, how about not shooting a duck, either..."mentally ill" covers gun permits for duck and bunny murderers...a LOT of us believe...wishing we would all stand up and say so?
...i cannot be the only one...we need to recruit a few more sensible and kind human beings to our justified and noble cause. the "nuts" are all over the airwaves. the NRA must be writing pay-checks to these dopes left and right. what an evil gang...what an evil, wealthy gang of country-clubbers populate the NRA, duping the masses of humanity to kill for sport. maybe i should stay inside today? they'll have my head mounted on a wall! but what a way to go!
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these." ~ George Washington Carver
we have gone vegan...cannot imagine WHY anybody eats carcasses...sanctioning murder. so there...i cannot even stand to watch humans eat...i have to look away when we "dine" out. human "animals" are killing themselves not to mention the disregard of the hideous deaths of sentient beings, artifically inseminated to keep the nightmare in place and lucrative for the capitalists who victimize innocent over-bred animals to make a "living"???????
the talking head jerk-wads are getting paid to promote hunting as a sport of gentlemen rather than deliverance types...i just know it...wish there was an honest to gosh true newscast with responsible, investigative newscasters and commentators...they are all being bought off. odd that somebody is not addressing the evils of the hunting mentality. neither safe or humane for man nor beast... money talks!
"There will come a time...when civilized people will look back in horror on our generation and the ones that preceded it: the idea that we should eat other living things running around on four legs, that we should raise them just for the purpose of killing them! The people of the future will say 'meat-eaters!' in disgust and regard us in the same way we regard cannibals and cannibalism"
-Dennis Weaver (actor)
"As long as humans continue to be the ruthless destroyer of other beings, we will never know health or peace. For as long as people massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, those who sow the seed of murder and pain will never reap joy or love."
--Pythagoras
"What do they know - all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka."
--Isaac Bashevis Singer, 1978 Nobel Prize Winner
"Our treatment of animals will someday be considered barbarous. There cannot be perfect civilization until man realizes that the rights of every living creature are as sacred as his own." - Dr. David Starr Jordan

if my husband was a "hunter", he would never be my husband....and vice versa i am certain...please realize that hunting is appalling...
it's such a pose...i have known many of those guys though the years...i remember them well... wish i had told them what i thought...then.
"i have right to NOT own a gun and still feel safe in this society..." what a beautiful thought spoken out loud on the anderson cooper show, from one of his intelligent guests. i love that...so does my husband.
