We Will Not Be Silenced about Hunters

[wesheltonj]

Just saw this group on Facebook. They have about 24k followers, and link directly to this website to pick out folks for scorn.

This page received special treatment:

Everyone of those leftist anti hunting grass eating vegan idiots can kiss my short furry ass. I could care less what they think. They will talk shit whether we mind our p's and q's reguardless. Rarely do they have anything of substance and based on fact anyway so as a result they lie and manipulate to try and further their idiotic agenda. They can all go &$@# themselves.

And they can quote me

One of our absolute biggest problems is that we've put up with the antis bullshit for far to long. We've hidden and cowered down to their nonsense. We've played nice guy and took it in the shorts because of it. Piss on them.

We are the reason animals roam the places they do today. We are the front line boots on the ground people actively fighting poacher across Africa and the world. We are the reason that waterfowl in North America are around today. We are the reason that whitetail deer are in the highest numbers in history. We are the reason wild turkeys are not extinct. We did all of this. Sportsman were so passionate about wildlife that we have donated billions of dollars to projects to save animals both game and nongame. Sportsman fight to make sure millions upon millions of acres remain wild for all wildlife. We spent over 300 billion dollars annually to make this happen. What have they done? Not one damn thing other than go after people and make their lives miserable and attempt to destroy their reputations all in the name of saving animals. Yet not one of those "bundles of sticks" have ever done a single damn thing worthwhile to the benefit of conservation. They wanna talk shit and stir up a hornets nest, bring it on!

Gizmo, you made my day. Many times in my life while discussing hunting and "left leaning politics" I've had people say
"can you tell us what you really think?" I might add that you expressed my thoughts on this subject very eloquently!!

Does a tree falling in the wilderness make any noise? I don't do Facebook - I can't hear them - they are welcome to chat all they wish.

Unfortunately, I do live in the Facebook wilderness. So, I have to worry about the noise.

The two quotes above make for an interesting dilemma. Like it or not, social media and the internet are part of the world we live in. Ignoring FB is no different than "isolationism" on the world market, in my opinion. Ignoring, just like participating, has consequences. Trick is, to find the correct balance...

Even participating here has consequences (not saying they are bad). Not only does the referenced FB page link to AH, but they've chosen to call out a member on that page, first and last name. Does that person care? I don't know. Either way though, they are being called out.

I really don't care what they think or what they say! Those posters are a bunch of key board Ninjas who are tough and manly behind their screens, but pissed their pants if confronted in real life. Well said Gizmo, and what you said is the truth. These idiots don't do anything to preserve the wildlife we so dearly love! They are not passionate like we are with our hobby. My wife does FB, and I don't, because I do not want to spent the day fighting with a bunch of ignorant POS posters. During the election, and I told a few to go F*** themselves and if they were man enough to come and tell me those things face to face. Silence after that.

Now your famous too, your cheetah post or should I say the only part they wanted to use for their messaging, will live for ever in Facebook land. This bunch claims to be from South Africa

 

[mrpoindexter]

Not all of them are keyboard ninjas. Some of them are active animal rights people who want to force veganism on the world. The animal rights argument will always lead down a road then ends in strictly enforced veganism for all of us.

Ignoring the noise on facebook is really only one step back from ignoring unti-gun legislation brewing in legislative bodies. They need to be challenged, but in a manner that is respectful and logical. While you won't convince your opponent, that isn't the point. You are trying to convince the people reading the posts. If you want to see a great film that hits this subject right on the head, watch "Thank You For Smoking".
