Are People Who Hunt For Fun Degenerates?

[Cornfed]

Are people who have sex degenerates? If you take things at face value it is unnecessary given that we have artificial insemination technology and causes all manner of problems. How about people who train with weights who don't have to lift things in their daily lives? And people who travel for fun. If all you need to do to survive on a daily basis now is sit around watching TV then clearly that is all you should do. Anything else is degenerate.

I think people should have more respect for animals. Hunting animals for sport is disgusting in my opinion. That cunt dentist who killed that lion would get a left hook from me. Same as those assholes who kill elephants for ivory and sharks for their fins etc.

Hunting and being able to hunt is part of the rites of our culture. As apex predators it is connected to our humanity and reinforces our connection with nature. Hunters are the most ardent conservationists and animal lovers. Quit trying to drag us down into a cultural sewer with you.

Humans have been hunting other humans throughout history...

It is just outrageous that people from shitholes like England want people to be as dehumanized as them. It must be like being a victim of a practical joke. At first you are angry and then you start looking around for someone else to fool.

Much easier to control when dehumanized..

You're talking nonsense. As if travelling to Africa just to put a bullet in a lion or a giraffe to take a photograph with it as a trophy reinforces a connection with nature the only thing that it reinforces is that people who hunt for sport like this and have a total disregard for animal life are total degenerate scumbags who have no conscience.

Conservationists and animal lovers. What a f***ing joke of a statement.

If you are living in a shithole country where you have been disconnected from anything other than watching TV in your council flat with paint peeling off the walls it would no doubt seem that way, but lets try not to confuse the diseased state imposed on you with normality and drag functional people down with you.

The UK is a shithole country. But don't confuse game hunting as some kind of normality.

It literally is normal and has been for the entire existence of the human species and more. You are the equivalent on the mentally ill perverts decrying normal marriages. I deplore your attempt to impose your spiritual deformities on the rest of us. Just because the UK regime has turned you into a stunted freak is no reason for you to want to do the same to others.

resorting to name calling only demonstrates I've touched a nerve. Stunted freak?

Yes, do you not realize how badly damaged you are as a result of growing up in a shithole like the UK? You are like all the trannies who think they are normal and "cis" people are bad somehow.

If a man is dropped in the enclosure of a lion, a tiger or a hippo, he is killed brutally by them nine out of ten times. Animals hunt, they kill, cats play with their prey and toy with birds and mice, torturing them for fun. Animals are cruel fuckers. And we, humans, are cruelest of all. That's why we're on top of the foodchain. We're all degenerates, one way or another.

Pmsl dude, are you trying to piss me off or make me laugh. What the f**k are you talking about?

You don't know what you haven't got. It is sad how disaffected from normal life the likes of you are. In rural NZ if you or someone on your behalf didn't kill things you would be overrun with rodents and possums. Of course people on your behalf are killing things so you can eat, but you live in a fantasy world where this is bad. You are a deformed freak person.

Are the muscles in your head affecting your ability to read? Hunting for food and hunting for pest control are not the same thing as Trophy Hunting.

They are variations on the same thing in the same way that sex not directly aimed at procreation is often a desirable variation. In the case of trophy hunting as a practical matter it places a monetary and cultural value on the animals, which is a good thing for all concerned. If a culture like the Chinese who don't have the tradition of hunting come to dominate places like Africa, most likely all the game animals will be wiped out as a nuisance.

That might have been true when the atavic battle between Man and Beast was on. With the number of wild animals dwindling on the negative edge of replacement rate, hunting for fun is a luxury we'd rather avoid. I think that's why wild animal hunting is (and should) be heavily regulated. It's an expensive sport which wealthy people should pay a hefty price for.

There are other sports which are similar to hunting and also highly ritual and symbolic, like bull fighting. For brutal it is, we all know that raising bulls is much easier than raising lions or elephants. I can see lots of animalists are against it but, at the very least, it's more sustainable.

Man, you're on an aggressive streak. Many of your posts are actually OK and quite balanced, until one day you just turn aggressive and unable to process other people's opinions. Anything that doesn't align to your mental mould to machine-cut precision immediately gets you on name calling and mocking mode. Seriously, I don't hate you or anything, but, are you suffering from some sort of bipolar disorder? I thought the relaxed Mexican life put a nice patch on your mental fragility?

Calling someone a "stunted freak" just for living in the UK and being generally against wild animal hunting, is quite a bit off. Especially when @Pixel--Dude has made very obvious in his posts here, that he doesn't like living in the UK and doesn't subscribe to the shitty nanny/police state it has become.

I may agree with you that hunting as human activity has its roots in the atavic need for man to challenge themselves by facing their fears, in the shape of a large, vicious wild animal, and overcoming them. But the OP isn't about having the balls of facing a wolf armed with just a knife. This is about a pseudo-sport where rich people kit up and shoot at wild animals, who already exist in tiny populations, from safe distance and with the sole goal of getting a thrill out of it.

Let's get that dentist of businessman face an angry elephant or tiger with their own bodies, perhaps armed with a simple knife or spear. That would carry a completely different meaning, both symbolic/ritualistic and practical.

If they are killing the animals at an unsustainable rate so future generations won't get the same opportunity then of course that is bad and they are behaving like common boomers. I assume though that these are part of conservation-minded culls that would happen anyway and the hunters just provide additional funding, which is good. For example, in NZ, international hunters of Himalayan Tahr put money into the economy and provide a reason to keep a population of these animals alive that are threatened in their natural habitat and provide a cultural resource to locals, whereas they would otherwise likely be eradicated by the government. Everyone is a winner.
