I would think Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam would be disgusted if they saw this.

I think you're right. Isn't Eddie Vedder a vegetarian?

How can two people need that many birds? There has to be over 100, maybe 200 in that pile of carcasses!

I may be wrong, but I don't think food banks are able to accept game meat, so that leads me to believe that a multimillionaire and his buddy killed that massive pile of birds for kicks. Carson Wentz, having gone #2 overall in the 2016 draft signed a rookie contract worth 26.7 million over 4 years. It included a 17.6 million dollar "signing bonus", and all of the 26.7 million is guaranteed!

In his bye week this year (the one week an NFL team gets off over the course of a 17 week schedule), he went hunting a killed a buck: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/look-carson-wentz-takes-week-off-from-shredding-nfl-teams-to-hunt-deer/

Also, in late December, he went hunting in New Jersey with another multi-millionaire, baseball player Mike Trout of the Anaheim Angels. Mike Trout is set to earn $29 million dollars in ONE SEASON ALONE for the upcoming 2017 year. He is still a young player, and his current contract takes him up to 2020 when he will be 29 years old. At that time he will have already earned $148 million in salary alone, will lots of further income from sponsorships.

I'm not a vegetarian, nor am I completely against hunting when it's done for sustenance. But when it's a couple of million dollar playboys going off into the woods to kill animals for kicks, there is something seriously wrong with that. They could literally pick up any expensive hobby, and they choose to kill animals?!!!

I think that would make the band sick.

Was Carson in not so many words saying Fuck You to Ed and the boys by using Rise? It would suck for Carson's sake to be reincarnated into a bird,only for one of his own descendants to shoot and kill him.SMH.

Yeah, the guy has a good taste in music and reeeeeeally likes duck hunting. Doubt he cares much what the musician would think about the subject matter and song choice. And why are we concerned with what Ed or the band would think, anyway? Carson has his opinion, we all can have our own, and Ed can have his. What Ed thinks or doesn't think should really have no bearing on any of us.

I do a little hunting myself, but that video definitely wasn't in the best taste for someone in the public eye. The giant pile of duck carcasses was a little ridiculous.

Having said that, there are places where migratory birds are such a nuisance it's practically a public service to sign up and go on a guided hunt.

Also, not sure if any old food bank can accept wild game, but there are programs to get this food into the right hands to feed those in need.

Fuck people hunting.

Fuck people eating meat in 2017 when it's not needed at all. If not for some disgusting form of gluttony people divulge in.

Let the animals be. Ducks included.

Yeah, no thanks, meat is too good. Not only is it good, but it stabalizes blood sugar, the protein and vitamins aid growing muscle and depending on what meat, it has arguably the highest level of iron. Iron deficiency can make your energy levels feel low.

Plenty of positives to eating meat.

Lol. Yea I will pretty much eat anything that can be grilled. Too good. Even raw, I buy fresh Salmon fillets, cut it up in cubes, add oyster sauce, soy sauce, garlic, scallions, sesame oil and seeds all in a bowl and eat it. Oh my.....

Unfortunately populations of animals have to be controlled. As someone else said it probably would have been better if he didn't pose with all those dead birds at the end.
