Hunting And Poaching

[Tyke]

To the people who hunt for sport. I'm interested, how far are you away from the animal when you kill it.

Presumably so far away that you are not in any danger yourself, so what is it that makes it a sport.

Oh now come on, you can't expect people to get too close to those ickle bunny wabbits now can you? They're dangerous beasts - you have seen Monty Python's Holy Grail haven't you?

Oh and @ Curley:-

I try to restrain myself in threads like this, otherwise I could get carried away. So thanks for posting what I really wanted to say myself B)

I 'm also interested in what pleasure you get from this. How does it make you feel, to have taken a life.

I am genuinely interested, as it is something which I cannot relate to myself.

I stabbed a croc w/a knife , when it was attacking our boat .
Oars simply dont have the same effect.

Once I shot a Grizz at close range while in the nothern Canada .
Stopped him dead in his tracks.

But I mostly practiced in warehouses and ranges,not so much shooting in the field

just a side note...it's now believed that exposure to uranium tipped ordance
was the cause of gulf war syndrome the first time around, that's why they are testing the troops as they return home.

and another thing, hunting at the zoo is the best in the world, always game to shoot there!

Thats the best cause you dont gotta go look for them .
Like fishing in a barrel just drop your line in ,and ones gonna have to bite.


Many things could and have cause gulf war syndrom ,among that.
Not many are ever exposed to that type of munition.

[Tikibonbon]

umm, what happens when a tank shell explodes? uranium dust? don't have to handle it to be exposed.

[nahan]

Quite true but,alot of the fighting with armor was done from very far distances .
Uranium dust dissipates into the air with the wind cycles,so very little if any exposure has taken place.

Chemical agents were also believed to be released into the surrounding
territories of Iraq.Among w/ other key factors many things could or have contributed to Gulf war syndrome

How many tanks did america loose in the gulf war ? not many ,very few.
So not much exposure had taken place along the American lines.

never mentioned tanks exploding, i said shells, for the laymen amongst us, a bullet
