For now I still have that “wish he was my QB” feeling but I feel like there’s a fine line between that and Michael Vick

Maybe people who actually hunt see it differently? Idk. I’m not about to condemn every hunter ever. I get that it’s widely recognized as a sport.

That’s just a lot of dead ducks to hold onto while they’re rotting so you can take a neat smiling picture. That’s not like, getting thanksgiving dinner the old fashioned way. That’s just “these animals are dead and I am thrilled about it”

I prefer the Native American mentality of respecting anything you kill in nature by actually using it for survival, and not wasting life for no reason

 

Hunting and eating ducks is wildly different than what that psychopath Vick did. He and his friend tortured and mutilated dogs in order to get them to viciously kill each other and they were doing it for entertainment and notoriety. They didn't need the money or anything. They were sick fucks who repeatedly and ruthlessly tortured animals.

That is a far cry than shooting a duck and eating it.

 

Is Wentz gonna eat all those ducks though?

I wonder if he’s gonna eat any. He left them out long enough to set up and take that photo haha.

And that’s why I say it’s a fine line. Dog fighting is called a “sport” too but we don’t love other peaceful animals like we love house pets, so the “it’s just an animal” mentality is socially pervasive with hunting. Especially because it satisfies our fascination with guns if we believe them to be morally harmless in that context. But it’s literally just cultural acceptance of certain animals that separates hunting for sport / the pride of a kill, and a dog fighting ring.

 

This is amazing

 

He could feed more than his entire team with those...I get that hunting is a thing but this just looks like "let's see how many things I can kill just to do it."

 

I imagine that Wentz and his family and friends will eat most those ducks, yeah.

It's not a fine line. You're downplaying dog fighting as if it's not a step away from being a psychopathic murderer. They didn't raise and love puppies and then sit them in a ring to fight and OOPS one dog dies! Oh no!!! They raise them in cages poking and prodding them, hanging them by their necks, electrocuting them, shooting them, letting them rip each others' fucking throats out and cheering and counting money while a dog sprays blood trying to gasp for air.

Fuck him and fuck any team that let him be on their roster. I don't give a shit that he did his time and jail and turned it around, whatever you want to call it. He's a fucking asshole.

 

Yeah that photo is a little unnerving. About as unnerving as a recipe for a blended hotdog pie thing I saw on Facebook recently. I think hunting for sport is dumb as shit though

 

I lived for a year near the mountains in Virginia and had a lot of forested beautiful land on the rental property, but never felt safe using it because our neighbors hunted out there and I didn’t want to get fuckin shot on accident

 

You lived near Cheney

 

Washington, Virginia actually. About 8 miles east of Shenandoah National Park, maybe an hour and a half - two hours west from DC

 

I think there are forms of hunting that are perfectly fine and also that the photo is completely unnecessary and comes across very gross to me

 

^ Essentially how I feel.

Except I personally wouldn’t kill an animal I didn’t plan on actually eating just for the sake of it. But I don’t instantly judge a person who grew up hunting for sport with their family.

 

Oh yeah I agree 100%, I'd only hunt something I planned on eating personally

 

But yeah I’m also not gonna auto-diss hunting. Like, catching and cooking fresh seafood? I am all for that. I’ve descaled and gutted and cleaned fish and cut fillets before, kind of a thing my dad and I love to do. I’d be a hypocrite if I hated hunting as a concept.

But if we aren’t eating the fish we catch, we throw them back in the water and let them live. I’m not used to the idea of championing the death of an animal.

 

Sacrifices must be made...sorry ducks.

 

Except cockroaches. I will kill a mf cockroach for even looking at me the wrong way in public.

 

fuck cockroaches

 

The worst is when they find a way to crawl in your silverware drawer. Great, now it's time to burn all the silverware and use HAZMAT gloves to clean the ashes. Thanks asshole.

 

I'm all in on burning down houses to kill spiders.

 

cockroaches everywhere in the south

 

I haven't seen a cockroach in TX in at least a year and it feels good

They were everywhere in FL though

 

What is a cockroach

 

nothing should ever have more than four legs. fuck everything that does.

spiders
cockroaches (whether or not they have more than 4 legs, can't remember off hand, think they do)
centipedes

and whatever the fuck else has more than 4 legs is an abomination.

 

something that can't survive where you live.
