Hunters Excuse - "Conservation"



How to refute with a hunter Part 1 "Conservation"

   1. Hunters idea of "conservation" is to ensure enough "game" animal for future generations of killing for sports and trophy from birds to big "game" animals with the use of food plots,

manipulating deer habitat and of course using Compensatory Rebound Effect http://defendurbanwildlife.org/news/Compensatory%20Rebound%20Effect.pdf which the hunting industry knows very well about that is how they ensure enough deer to satisfy "sportsman" across America. . They tell the public money goes to land for "all" to enjoy but what they do not know is that same land that non killers are photographing nature will be the same land that will be used as a killing field for "sportsman" and the beautiful photograph of a buck deer, Elk, Moose etc will be killed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVSruqFgktY and probably won't see them again instead it will be on some hunters wall or in a photograph with a dead animal on the ground gray in the eyes, blood in the mouth posed with the hunter sitting or standing by with smiles on his face that he was able to "conquer" such magnificent creature.



Here is more about "Conservation" which is an important read.

Wildlife Watching:
An Economic Boon to Communities


http://all-creatures.org/cash/cc2007-fa-ww.html


Eco-tourism is what brings the money but the hunting industry rarely mentions that because the NRA and the pro-kill Government wants the public to continue believing it's the "sportsman" who brings money. Then they say how they "boost" the economy yet with such small percentage of killers in America I would believe that is a bit of an exaggeration. Imagine how much money can be made by eco-tourism, bird watching, nature photography where MAJORITY of the population will enjoy but many do not want to get involved because of hunting that does takes place. "Sportsman" or American are only 4% of the American population but the reason they continue to "win" is the support of power and money (guns and political people who too have interest in hunting) which they get money from all the hunting propaganda. They do love their euphemism such as "conservation", "wildlife management", "love and respect nature". Psychopaths too were good with being the "nice" people but behind the facade lies a soulless monster.


Also how is "conservation" of land doing the non-killing public any good if we can' even feel safe in the woods during the fall. There is no peace in there just death and destruction as millions of hunters heads out into the forest blasting their guns, crossbows and bows and arrows to KILL.

Overall "Conservation" is just a euphemism , another name for propagating "game" animals for "sportsman" to kill not only for today but for the future. There is nothing "beautiful" about terror, pain, suffering, bloodshed and death to the innocent because that is what hunters love to show on their videos and websites about "conservation". I wonder what it would look like if they showed what really happens to the animals they "conserve" . One last thing I forgot to mention many popular "wildlife group" hooking up with the hunters (easy money , quick fix and brainwashed to think if you kill some you will have plenty of animals for "all" to enjoy which we know is a farce). Organization such as Nature Conservancy, National Wildlife Federation, World Wildlife Fund, Sierra Club, and of course Audubon.

Hunters Excuses "If we don't kill them they'll starve to death"




How to refute hunters BS. The "if we don't kill them they'll starve to death"

If I had a dime for every "they'll starve to death" I be a billionair.  First of all I don't see any DNR selling tags to kill the "starving and sickly deer" do you?  Every hunters wants the healthy with the big rack to compensate for their shortcomings so there is no "starving deer" in any hunting photos I have seen yet. Plus how do they know which deer will "starve to death" when they shoot them and also who is killing the deer's natual predators such as coyotes and wolves? That's right the hunters, the more killing done to "varmints"  the better because they will reduce the deer numbers *naturally* which the hunters do not want.  Coyotes and wolves goes  after the sickly to keep the strong yes they go after babies too and it's sad but that is part ot the nature way to keep healthy eco- balance not bunch of "sportsman" killing animals for shere pleasure even the babies, yearlings, pregnant does and of course the beautiful buck.


As millions of hunters heads into the woods the deer become very stressed  which causes them to be unable to eat, the hunters causes the animal family to separate which  means the yearling will lose the warmth of their mother or the matriarchs if the yearling lost their mother from hunters.  Hunters especially bowhunters leave thousands wounded and crippled unable to eat  now talk about "starvation" and also dying from pain and suffering.  In Wisconsin 08 Season 68,000 wounded deer were not recovered by hunters according to their Game Commission.  It was not only on this article from Associated Press but on another one but lets say the number *maybe* was miscalculated and it is actually 6,000 or even 600, or 60 that is still way too many deer suffered for hunters sick pleasure.



(Read last line)

In America they do love their food plots and with all the food plots and hunters propagating deer for hunting pleasure via Compensatory Rebound Effect (CRE) http://mathew5-7.blogspot.com/2009/08/this-is-why-we-have-too-many-deer.html  there will always be abundance of deer and many deer will run from terrors of hunting to seek refuge and that is why you will find deer in area that has no hunting then they blame because there was no hunting blahblahblah.  Deer numbers are here because of hunters that is the most important thing people must remember, hunters kills off the healthiest of the deer /elk, hunters stresses the deer, hunters leaves thousands wounded and crippled to die after days unable to eat.

Watch this video I did a while back ago.

Deer Hunting Increases the Rate Of Deer Starvation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvNhCVdSjiE&playnext=1&list=PL2AE16C1869A6EBAC

Lastly starvation  is a natural part of life and death in the wild just as diseases and death are for humans.   I also  forgot to mention that the body size of whitetails has gotten smaller because of hunting (not the rack obviously they work hard to make sure rack will be huge) and also certain species of bear body size has gotten smaller "thanks" to hunters. Twice I saw a video where the hunter shot a buck because the antler was not right (bad genes) not because of sickly or thin and even Killed the older buck because they feel they are no more use for mating. Yeah that is how much they "care" for the starving.!

Hunters Excuse- "They will spread diseases and we must control them"

First of all CWD the most serious of all disease were first spread by Elk and Deer farming when hunters were feeding rendered animals to grow large rack and because of hunting with their baiting and supplement feeding it continued to spread today though they banned feeding rendered animals they still supplement feed deer or bait when the deer congregates and that is how it's spread.. (although with the hunting public who knows if they still feed rendered animals)



"As you can see by reading this article [below] in this afternoon's Capital Times of Madison, word is slowly leaking out about what has apparently been a massive decade-long feeding of "supplements" (including meat and bone meal as mineral and protein) to wild deer in the heart of the "kill zone," the area of the WI Chronic Wasting Disease outbreak.

Apparently no one in the CWD research community has ever investigated the possibility that CWD may be spreading via rendered feed (mineral, fat and protein supplements), as happened in Britain with mad cow disease. This needs to be investigated immediately as a possible third means of infection for CWD, along with suspected animal-to-animal transmission and environmental contamination.

As you can see from the excerpts of two books below on feeding wild deer, there has been a huge push over the past 10-15 years of supplemental feeding of both game farmed elk and deer and wild deer to grow bigger animals with huge-boned antlers. "

Bovine TB is another disease that can kill human and animals and it's spread by supplement feeding and baiting




same as CWD. Bovine TB is found in Michigan and spreading http://www.upnorthlive.com/news/story.aspx?id=507733 . They believe killing will "eliminate" the diseases but in Wisconsin they have killed thousands of deer since 2002 and CWD is still prevalent. The main cause of spread is hunters supplement feeding and baiting deer and Elk although they are "prohibiting" baiting and supplement feeding certain areas are still allowed in "Non-CWD Zone" in  Wisconsin and in private land.  Also when they gut the deer and leave the gut pile what other animals could be consuming a diseased deer?



CWD is now in 14 states plus 2 Canadian Province
Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York (only from CWD containment area), Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia (only from Hampshire County), Wisconsin and Wyoming; as well as the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Overall it's not just CWD but other wildlife diseases which hunting can worsen the epidemic

Hunting Can Increase The Severity Of Wildlife Disease Epidemics

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/07/060714174141.htm

"One reason the policies failed, Choisy and Rohani said, is that they didn’t take into account an ecological principle known as compensation. When a portion of the animal population is reduced, those that survive are left with more resources such as food and shelter. As a result of the newly plentiful resources, the death rate decreases and the birth rate increases, compensating – and sometimes overcompensating – for the loss.

(Here you can see Compensatory Rebound Effect at work)

Killing wild animals can also increase the proportion of the population that’s susceptible to disease by removing those individuals who have contracted a virus but have developed lifelong immunity as a result of their infection.




The effect can be so dramatic that in some cases hunting can increase not only the proportion of infections and deaths, but also the absolute numbers. For example, their model shows that in the case of swine fever, a highly infectious disease threatening boars and pigs in Europe, hunting can increase the number of infected individuals by twenty five percent.

If we want to preserve the hunted population, we should be careful about when we schedule the hunting season compared to birth season because if it’s too early or late, it can drive the population to extinction,” "

Hunters still seem to make excuses why it's "ok" for them to supplement feed deer (read my blogger)

http://mathew5-7.blogspot.com/2009/06/supplement-feeding-can-spread-cwd-yet.html

Wisconsin DNR is still allowing supplement feeding if the hunter pays more money and so long as you have sports hunting they will bait even if it's against the law in CWD zone.

In Wisconsin CWD are spreading yet there is still baiting deer and DNR is actually letting them with an extra charge. Why would they even do that if that is how CWD is spread? Ridiculous but not surprised at all!. As you read the article they also want to continue to supplement feed the deer for fear of deer numbers fa...lling (and ...all this time I thought hunting is about deer herd reduction) .

"I see people loading trucks with corn, carrots and sugar beets around my home in Grayling, and a friend called to say bait is widely sold even at the heart of the CWD management zone in Kent County.

It will be even harder to get Upper Peninsula hunters to accept a ban, because deer numbers there are below targets set by the Department of Natural Resources and Environment. And without supplemental winter feeding the population will drop even more.

The DNRE could charge $20-$30 for a license that lets people use small amounts of bait at a time or materials like salt licks and attractor blocks. Purchasing that license would acknowledge that the DNRE has the right to come onto a hunter's property to check the bait pile."

Supplement Feeding can spread CWD yet hunters do it and supports it - WHY? cl

Overall it's the sports hunting industry that will eventually bring deer to extinction from wildlife disease epidemic with their supplement feeding and baiting


HUNTERS CONTINUE TO DESTROY OUR WILDLIFE, WORSENING DISEASES AND MAY EVEN ONE DAY BRING DEER TO EXTINCTION. 

Lastly deer trafficking is very common so with hunters wanting their big rack deer the disease will continue to worsen in that way too.

Hunters excuse #5 "Our meat is hormone free and organic"

(Pesticides from lawn spray tons were sprayed in NJ and hunted deer "given" to the pantries)

Before I start let me remind you that when recreational hunters comes to your post with the old line of  "meat in the freezer" and "Our meat is hormone free and organic" is just their cover-up.  Okeeee, now lets see we know wildlife especially deer may carry  all kinds of diseases one such  as bovine TB which can transmit to man, there are parasite, worms of all kinds, pesticides from the lawn and the most dangerous of all which if Chronic Wasting Disease another pretty name of Mad Deer Disease

What the government isn't telling you about mad deer disease.

http://mathew5-7.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-government-isnt-telling-you-about.html
 

Prions in CWD is the same agent that causes Creutzfeldt-Jakob is a rare, fatal illness often described as "fast Alzheimer's. One cannot often detect a sick deer until the final stage so you can kill a deer thinking he/she is "healthy" but instead carrying the disease.


(checking for CWD)


"At least seven people age 66 or younger -- all hunters or venison eaters -- are known to have died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob in the U.S. in the last nine years. The total number will never be known because there's no federal requirement that all cases be reported. Preliminary studies suggest, and some neurologists suspect, that CJD is more common than generally believed -- it's simply misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's. That raises the obvious question: How many people would die of chronic wasting disease before a doctor called it?

In a highly publicized case, three Wisconsin hunters who attended wild-game feasts died of neurological diseases. Two had Creutzfeldt-Jakob, one turned out to have another rare neurological ailment, Pick's disease. Tests are ongoing.

Another victim from Oklahoma died with a freezer full of venison. A 50-year-old Montana elk hunter died last summer; his brain tissue is now being analyzed at one of the world's foremost prion labs, at the University of California in San Francisco. Test results are pending."

None of the meat that some consume are inspected by the USDA the hunters "inspect" it themselves.

Lastly only 16% according to a chart found in a hunting website motive to hunt is for food the rest is for sports so even *if" some eat the meat they only take the "back ribs" or parts to make "beef jerkey" (laughable).



("to be close to nature" and "to be with family" is another words for "I love to kill living creatures")

  Sports hunters have their fridge stocked with market food and dairy is filled with hormones and puss and god knows what.  So all that "organic hormone free" more excuses and I have seen hunters going into 7-11's before their morning kill and even stop at Wendy's.  Plus why is it that heart attack http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/news/general/hunter-is-heart-attack-capital/1996845.aspx  are so prevalent in the hunting community? Boy those Venison must be really "healthy" for them.





(Don't forget milk and all dairy product  is filled with puss, hormones and all kinds of crap)

(don't forget Milk is filled with hormones, puss and all kinds of junk)



*I am not against sustenance hunting I understand there are some people who have absolutely no choice but those who not be here making lame excuses, they will not be making videos or taking morbid photographs they be out getting their food with a shotgun and come home.    So many times on some of the cruelest videos on youtube you hear the remark of 'yeah meat in freezer" or "back ribs baby" just to make the public think their disgusting savage killing is not because they just enjoy it.    Even their own hero Ted the "Turd" Nugent said 



Nobody hunts just to put meat on the table because it's too expensive, time consuming and extremely inconsistent. - Ted Nugent's World Bowhunters Magazine, Volume 1/ Number 3, March/April 1990, p.7

Hunter man I'm not a fan- By Rex Tyler

Hunter man I'm not a fan
A poem by Rex Tyler (rex@cooksdelight.co.uk)
Source: www.cooksdelight.co.uk


A hunter, whats a hunter
a man whose inner soul
is clearly bent on murder
inside himself, his role
is gallant,brave and courageous
a mind like this desires
To slaughter any animal
and to fail to realise.

there's no need
in this day and age
to do this,
his weaponry
is sophisticated and
the hunted stands no chance
for it is ambushed
a telescopic lense
and it is down
Those who face the Tiger
With an asagai
Well at least there is a chance
who wears the crown
But the high powered rifle
from a hide up in the trees
or the Bow Hunter whose camouflaged
and does feel
Equal to the prey
I can tell him right a way
His equality of spirit
isn't real


He can never ever equal
them for wildness
for spirit, nor for courage
for they leave
him standing in the dark
Trying to make his mark
But sadly only he can now believe


a Hunter whats a hunter
a man with a big gun
With an ego thats expanding
Who does it all for fun
Maiming, causing injury
to innocent souls who ply
The forests in the search for life
that can quickly pass them by
High fiving with his comrades
Their trophy cut down by
A bullet made of steel
That tore into its flesh
and why
So the hunter could have fun
a photograph to provide a way
a trophy gathering dust somewhere
and a karmic debt to pay
A poem written by a good friend of mine.  Humans with even an ounce of compassion  are fed up with the torture and killing of innocent wildlife for greed, profit and amusement.  Today we are learning a lot about the corruption of the hunting industry and we are so fed up with  recreational hunter same old lies and excuses on why they kill.  The simple fact is they KILL because they enjoy killing no different then how serial killers enjoys killing humans.
