    Godfather and Tritone,

    Many people have stated many times that its not about that. I personally wouldn't hunt, I just don't find killing things enjoyable.
    Most here have stated they don't have a problem with hunters that eat what they kill, we have a problem with trophy hunters, and hunters that work outside the laws put in place to protect animals.

    It's been said over and over and over again. If the two of choose not to read the entire thread, that's on you guys. But your asking questions again and again that have been answered again and again, and well....that's just fucking annoying.

    Please read the thread, the entire thread if you truly wish to engage in any meaningful debate on the subject.
    Peace, Love.

    If one eats beef for example, I don't see the problem using the by-product of this. After all, one should use all parts of the animal and avoid a much waste as possible. Pelt (fur) may be another matter as animals are usually killed for their fur only to become a fashion accessory.

    So, as eating meat (ethically sourced), I have no problem with leather/hide though I can understand your girlfriend would.

    Good points. It just comes down to my personal preference concerning leather.

    no replies yeah
    pure hypocrisy to eat meat, wear leather, the ladies carry leather then act all noble like they can't kill a thing
    Ted's honest about who he is

    This thread is about "trophy hunting" and not people's dietary habits. Two different things.

    As per the hypocrisy charge, I will speak for myself.
    I live with my girlfriend who is a vegetarian and the cook of the house. Therefore, I am a vegetarian at home. This is my choice, and a good one, I feel, for health reasons. We do not keep any meat at home, and for breakfast I have eggs, rye toast, and a Morningstar (vegetarian) sausage patty. I also usually have a banana/strawberry smoothie for breakfast or brunch/lunch if I am home.
    When I go out to eat, and if I am in the mood for a chicken/burger/steak, I look closely for the keywords of "local" "organic" or any related. In other words, I care about how an animal is treated. I usually opt for chicken or a shrimp dish. I probably have a burger once a month, and a steak a few times a year.

    Concerning leather, we are vehemently anti-leather and anti-wearing animal products of any kind.
    I read this thread is about Ted anything about Ted but it has gone to a Hunting Trophy debate

    man you are a meat eater and kill chickens pigs and steer when you are in the mood to

    use any of these?

    just saying people look at what you support before you judge someone who might
    trophy hunt legally and make use of the meat hide and honor the animal
    with display.

    You're right, It is true that history holds "noble men of character with the heads of wild beasts on their walls."

    But then again, you can also validly use "history" in making arguments for things such as slavery and blood-letting, thereby making "history" in and of itself not very strong support for an arguement.

    Do you have anything better in making an argument for trophy hunting other than "history" then?

    So, now can you answer my question?
    .. Besides "history"or "Teddy says its ok", what are YOUR arguments in support of "trophy hunting"?

    I really would like to hear.

    I would also like to separately debate about animals killed for food and keep this particular debate having to do with trophy hunting only, if we could.

    Hanging a HEAD on a WALL...isn't that the utmost form of disrespect available? to the animal and to God?

    You see, the human race,, the most "intelligent" and the most "evolved" species are so smart we are stupid.

    Anyone who choses to exercise their "free will" by hanging a head on a wall shows just what kind of person they are, whether it's a legal crime or not, it's a crime against God and against nature and against beauty and against what is GOOD.

    And as far as using animals for food...Animals HAVE been part of the food chain since day whatever. The most important thing I feel is a humane life and a humane death for animals that are raised for food. (Temple Grandin has done alot towards the humane treatment of cattle both in life, death, and even on their way to death)

    I feel my part in this battle is to begin investigation on what needs to be done or who needs to be contacted so that the word "humane" can be changed to something more fitting. if "humane" is a derivative of the word "human", I believe the way humans have been treating animals would leave the word "humane" to be something most undesirable.

    I think that photography or a beatiful painting of an animal on a wall is a much "nobler" way of honoring that animal ...and that the physical head is instead just a way for the hunter to honor himself, not the animal

    you are emotional dramatic your words opinion of a non hunter
    not wrong different than mine

    I have no problem with legal trophy hunting period I have no problem with Ted he is doing his thing and better stay within the law
    I dig his music and laugh at his jokes his guitar smokes
    time for lunch I am feeling exotic today shark I think and if I caught it it would be on my wall
    not for my ego but cause it is beautiful like a painting but better
    maybe someone will have a burger and chicken wing picture on their wall
    say bye to the trophy hunter

    refresh my memory....why ?
    killing is killing right ? be it man or animal if Ted kills and grills a ..big cat whats the differance between killing a ...big cat or big cow ? maybe you just wouldn't hang a cow head on your wall but I bet there are long horns all over the US, like I said earlier I wouldn't hunt to eat right now but if it came down to survival I'd kill a big cat or a big rhino in a heart beat, I've hunted many years when I was a little younger we had venisson in the freezer every year and we raised pig's and cows for butcher and had chickens for egg's...you ever see what a hog can do to a man or for that matter another hog ?..it ain't pretty all they need is to see or smell blood and it's on, and chickens them little shits can be pretty mean also...you think if animals had better brain power and fingers and thunmbs they would hunt and kill people ? wait some do...don't they ;) so maybe it's a deal where the strong survive...and Rolling I'm not to sure but I think the Bible says man was given all the beasts of the land to rule over and use for food..I think..I'll have to check.

    Yes I am. Why would I continue to debate with someone who compares me to a trophy hunter who slaughters animals?

    it's like Hitchens or Dawkins debating someone who says that they have met "God." The debate will go nowhere.

    Thank you Godfather. This is the last paragraph from your link, which was very short and to the point, like you said.

    When killing animals, one must carefully discern the purpose and attitude. Is it truly for food? Or is it more for the sport or trophy? Keep in mind that animals are, after all, part of God’s creation and, as such, should be treated with a certain amount of respect.
    


    I totally agree with this. Do you?

    So, to apply the above reference to this thread--I mean ted--it is not hard to ascertain that the killing of animals for food is acceptable but that killing for sport or trophy is wrong.

    I agree. Animals are part of the food chain. Even the animals know that. Ask the honey badger..he don't give a shit.

    But to kill just to be able to show off what you "did". That's just wrong.

    in one fucking year he shot and killed for no reason other than the government taking over this great land and the removal of indians.

    on average cody murdered 11.7 buffalo daily . that is raping mother earth to the highest order and pile of shit the word dispicable has to offer.

    priror to 1870
    50 million buffalo roamed the plains of the west
    by 1888 only about 1000 buffalo remained

    As most here would - survival is a strong instinct. Even a couple of my vegetarian friends would - if they get desperate and if there was no other option.

    but ted aint starving yet murders giraffe 14,000 miles away. i don't get it. ted, you hungry, man?

    godfather, anyone starving would most likely kill to eat. a multimillionaire canned hunting is not starving nor not raping the earth nor molesting wildlife
