Ok folks, feel free to hijack this with your own current events stuff that you feel you need to let others know about...
Ok, so I am an animal lover. Now I am not PETA extreme, but I am all for conservation and do my best to help the animals--domestic and wild. Anyway, I just came across an article about a jerkwad who hates wolves and is up on charges for trying to kill them (they are currently protected until January). The article will follow in a moment. Anyway, a couple points...this jerk is gonna get maybe 6 months with a 5 year probation term-- a slap on the wrist pretty much, not any sort of real punishment... 3 states will be implementing wolf hunting season... I am really pissed about this.
I don't mind hunters like Ted Nugent, who uses as much of his "kill" as possible. Use the meat, the skin, etc...don't just stuff the animal and mount it...but how do you hunt wolf...I mean do you eat it after, or just rejoice in the kill and leave it at that??? Wolves have been on the endangered list for some time now, and now the Fed Gov't will be taking themoff the list and letting the states implement hunting season...WTF
Anyway, here is the article...lemme hear your thoughts...and as I said, if you have your own soapboxing need feel free to use this thread...but please...let's try to be considerate of others. If there are any hunters here, I'd like to hear from you...I want to understand about wolf hunting, and why.
To humor the party pooper who complained, I will censor my quote=======
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:: Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine, into your brain, and THAT is where sh*tty ideas come from!!
