Richard Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 To me, there's not really very much difference between someone who pays for animals to be killed, and someone who kills them themselves. You may find that if you give most omnivores a gun and say "shoot that animal if you want to eat it", many of them would fail. However, in doing so they just show that they are also hypocritical as well as selfish. I'm not really sure which is better - someone who acknowledges that the process is so repulsive that they can't be a part of it (yet continues to do so anyway!) or somebody who is happy to be part of it. But there's hardly a distinction in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuc Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Well they have to be prepared to shoot dinosaurs from helicopters. After all, we have lived here at the same time. If god gets angry, he'll summon a bunch of new dinosaurs for our enjoyment. Palin is a flipping lunatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I saw this segment when it first aired, I thought it was hilarious. It is hilarious. I'm glad someone made the Vick connection! SNL's most recent skit also mentions killing wolves from helicopters: http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/vp-debate-open-palin-biden/727421/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeB Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Is Chris Rock vegan now? I remember him doing his shows in a leather jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's more comfortable for the hunter, but the animal still dies the same violent unnecessary death... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/vp-debate-open-palin-biden/727421/ Hilarious. She massacred Palin without being sexist. The thing about murdering wolves from helicopters that makes it so unconscionable to me is that the fight isn't anywhere even close to approaching the illusion of fair. At least with regular hunting of wolves, hunters can make the case and try to fool themselves or others into thinking there's some training or talent involved that makes it a fair fight. Helicopter hunting is just an example of the blatant dominion over whatever the hell those pigs want dominion over, at the expense of wildlife, the environment, other people, and common sense.

Richard Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Well, even if it was a "fair fight" there's still no reason for it. If I go up to a guy in the street who is my height and weight and start punching him, that'd be outrageous anyway. There's no honor or justification whatsoever in instigating violence for no reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with regular hunting of wolves, hunters can make the case and try to fool themselves or others into thinking there's some training or talent involved that makes it a fair fight. Agree! I also think that, you know, 70% of the American population lives in cities or suburbs, and people do very little hunting on average, but many people like to think of hunting in a romantic, man being with nature, maybe getting a deer sort of thing. I think "hunting" for a lot of people is associated with outdoorsyness, male bonding...etc. In a sense, I don't think people think of killing when they think of hunting, perhaps in the same way that people don't reflexively associate eating meat with the killing of an animal (due to the fact that meat is pre-cut and packaged so you never have to think about the source). But shooting wolves from a helicopter and paying money for their dead paws!?...I think for some people, who are typical meat eaters and vaguely supportive of "hunting", that just brings up a really violent image of "get some" violence, a la Full Metal Jacket. Granted, I agree with richard that it's still unnecessary, but the metal image is different, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Bill Maher mentions it too. About 2.40 into the clip. Watch the whole thing if you want a (several) good laugh(s) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIcnAt4fYTw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Palin is insane! I've known that from the get-go and these crazy beliefs that are very dangerous when practiced drive me crazy. Someday America will wake up and realize we're not all going to heaven or hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offense74 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 If you vote for Palin and pray hard enough then little baby Jesus will come and rescue you from all your IOU's. Also, there will be live dinosaurs parked outside church each week. It's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
