In , says... Oh, and I favor re-introducing large, dangerous predators...cuts down on the riff-raff. I am privileged to know some people who legally keep large predators. The big cats and wolves I've meet seem more deserving of life than your average palinite. I doubt folks would be happy if they dropped a dozen mountain lions in Rock Creek Park and called them "The Endangered Maryland Panther". That is pretty much what happened with the Florida Panther. To start with you would need to reduce all the speed limits so they wouldn't get killed by cars, they would need to build 10 foot fences around the beltway and the various other interstate feeders with panther tunnels under the road. The people in Chevy Chase would just have to understand a panther coming out of the park and eating pets was just nature's way. Molesting the panther is a federal crime. Just keep your kids inside at night and be careful where you jog. Don't worry the mountain lion and the black bear are making their way into the western suburbs. http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/r...blackbears.htm http://wolves.wordpress.com/2009/01/...s-in-virginia/ Gosh, I hope so...there are frequent reports of "mountain lion sightings" out on the Shenandoah, but think most of it is wishful thinking. The big problem out there seems to be packs of feral dogs.It is not a good idea to wander the trails out there without a sidearm. Cougars in Fairfax County... :) |

From what I see it is a show glorifying terrorists who wish to do physical harm to the Whalers, their boats and crew. I see the Whalers fighting with water cannons, I think they should go live fire, their lives are being threatened... -- Rowdy Mouse Racing - We race for cheese! Now the terrorists are shooting acid filled bottles at the commercial vessels, talking about sinking her, disabling her at sea... And still, the whalers arent using 50 calibers to defend themselves.. Stupid.. Let their mommies cry about "he was such a good boy". These assholes are big mouthed punks, playing with peoples lives, just to play up for the camera.. Crazy, I guess I will have to watch the season fanalie to see if the Whalers take any of the little punks out... snerk Hey before you get on me, the terrorists are clearly trying to hurt the Whalers... You stupid little half pint of ****. Those whalers are breaking international ban on commercial whaling. http://www.animallaw.info/articles/ovuswhalelaws.htm Did you love it when he played chicken in the Southern Ocean. Now that was GREAT I did see some of their shows last winter, but also have mixed feelings about that bunch. They do great work most of the time, but harass our sealers each spring. They have also helped the European union to ban seal pelts & products.... putting a lot of jobs at risk. although that policy has suffered a set back. http://www.metronews.ca/edmonton/loc...-ban-suspended http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle1678476/ And you support killing seals? What a hypocrite. Do you support killing cows, chickens etc for food?? Native people and some Newfoundlanders eat the seal meat. It's not just for the pelts. Cattle, chickens, etc are domesticated and raised for the specific purpose of providing food. Tell us the difference between whales and seals. The Japanese use the whales for food. The difference is the volume... whales are endangered.... seals are a dime a dozen around here. Another difference is that your indigenous populations need the food they get from hunting. The Japanese do not need the whales...it's just a cultural thing. Once in a while while flipping channels I'll come across a "Hunting Show" in which the "great white hunters" use their high-powered rifles to shoot a *dangerous* (ha!) deer, elk, moose, sheep, antelope, rabbit, squirrel, whatever. And they make a big deal out of it, as if it takes some sort of super skill and more than a day of practice to be able to fire a rifle accurately. These boys are always so congratulatory towards themselves and their buddies, even though the only danger/risk they face is shooting each other. I don't have a problem with those who have no other way to put meat on their table going out and shooting a deer. But there sure isn't any sport in it. I fish sometimes for "table fish," and never take more than I'm going to eat for a meal that day or the next. When I catch one, I don't see the need any longer to post a photo of it. It's just a fish I happened to catch. I'm not the great white fisherman and I don't want to be. And the guys who catch pelagics? They should know better. Hunting or fishing for "high adventure" is just so much bull****. Let me add this before you little ****ts come snapping at my heels. That photo I posted some years ago of the redfish I illegally kept- when I was into posting pictures of my conquests- the only reason I kept it was because as I was reeling in another fish took a chomp out of the side of the redfish killing it. I know you couldn't see that in the photo. I really don't give a foch what you believe it. And make no snide comments about the plastic patio chair I had on-board in that photo. |
