The deer death toll has already surpassed 300, but the activists in Bite Club of KC aren't about to give up their campaign to save the fuzzy mammals in Shawnee Mission Park.
Today, though, their tone is taking a turn -- from road-blocking, blood-spattering, deer-head-hoisting outrage to a somber death march.
According to earlier reports from the Johnson County Park and Recreation District, the first deer harvest in November didn't pare down the overpopulated deer herd to ecologically manageable levels, so today marks the opening of a bow hunt by carefully screened archers. At 2 p.m., activists are planning a grim "funeral motorcade" as a means of protest, cruising their placard-plastered cars through Shawnee Mission Park, Oak Park Mall and, finally, Johnson County Community College.
It won't be Jason Miller leading this charge, though. Anthony Marr, an animal rights activist from Canada, traveled to Kansas City for the motorcade this afternoon. And tonight he'll use the Shawnee Mission Park controversy as a platform to launch an international anti-hunting coalition.
Marr has been all over the map in his 14 years as an animals rights activist. He's led campaigns against traditional Chinese medicine manufactured from endangered species. He's tracked down poachers of Bengal tigers in India, organized protests against whale hunting in Japan and, most recently, toured for months at a time through the U.S. and Canada to raise objections to recreational hunting. This summer, he joined Bite Club's campaign to stop the deer hunt in Shawnee Mission Park.
"There's no anti-hunting campaign hotter than this one," Marr says.
His name is familiar to officials in Johnson County. Marr came up with the schematics for a "deer sanctuary," a system of one-way gates that would lure animals into an enclosed area where they would be fed and treated with contraceptive drugs. Marr insists such a system would cost far less than bullets and bow hunts, but park officials shot it down as inconsistent with Kansas wildlife regulations.
But Marr's in town with a more long-term agenda -- one he'll lay out at 6 tonight in Craig Auditorium at Johnson County Community College. His presentation, he says, will highlight the cruelty of current hunting methods, outline his detailed plan for the deer sanctuary and announce the formation of the Global Anti-Hunting Coalition.
"This is going to be huge," he says of the GAHC. "The purpose is to have a global structure so the entire weight of the anti-hunting coalition can descend on a local campaign with huge resources. So you'd have the entire world coming down on Kansas City."
Two of the anti-hunting group's board members will be on hand for the presentation. Anthony Damieno, an activist from Florida, is driving up from the Sunshine State for the occasion. The other is already a resident of Johnson County. Yep, you guessed it. Jason Miller.

amen d-man! i just had some venison steak tonight(as rare as i could stand.) if these militant tofu eating, b-12 pill poppers don't like it they can snatch it from my omnivorous teeth. i'm guessing that they hate the show 'man vs. wild' and the 'alaska experiment'... lord forbid that their wild oats marketplace and the gnc pharmacy should ever go out of business... the point is that if society disappeared tomorrow i would still have the means to continue my diet. a belief is something you should be able to maintain in the worst of circumstances, would the militant vegan starve or survive during an alaskan winter?
I hunt deer. I shoot one a year. I see this as less meat that has to be produced under inhumane conditions. Less chance that someone is going to be injured by hitting one of these animals. I pay licensing and fees that go towards conservation that ensures that not only there is a sustainable deer population in the future, but also there are people employed to enforce standards of ethical hunting.
I don't bowhunt, partly because I don't have the time or land. I also don't want to have to chase a wounded deer all over the country and risk trespassing on someone else's land or losing the animal altogether. I shoot a high-powered rifle and none of the deer that I have killed have lived long enough for me to walk to them and still have them be alive.
I don't trust these groups because their ultimate goal is to end animals being used for food, clothing, or sport. I won't give them an inch because they'll just want another. They can't be trusted as they are simply militant vegans with a vendetta against anyone who doesn't support their ideals.
Stacy,
I take it since you are running full-speed back to the ad-hominem attacks on me, that you are at least tacitly acknowledging that you have been bested. Sucks that you are all "sour grapes" about it. But let's not dwell on it...let's get on with the fun...
"Sentient beings"- See, not being a Buddhist myself, I don't implicitly accept the premise that all sentient beings have rights. I know that as human beings, we have ethical obligations to all the other species on the planet and to the biosphere in general, but I'm not inclined to ratchet that sentiment up to the level of granting or acknowledging "rights".
Clearly you are the sort of dope who likes to shill things you "believe" as though they were statements of empirical fact.....which the whole "sentient beings" line of argument ain't....by a long fucking shot.
But since you are all gassed up on the sanctity of the right to life for all sentient beings let's try this test: I want you to organize a public protest funeral procession in honor of all the young black kids that have been murdered on the east side of KCMO this year. I want to see pomp and fanfare and fiery rhetoric and young people covering themselves in fake blood to raise awareness...shit, to raise public outrage at the senseless murders of some young kids who just happened to live on the high-risk side of town and go to the shitty schools.
If you can't work up just as much vitriol and just as much bile over the killings of black teenagers as you can about the killing of deer...then you are a fucking fraud.
That's what I'm pretty sure you are. A bullshitter, ensconced in her own bullshit-fortress...and I'm calling you out. Prove me wrong, I dare you.
This is the funniest comment thread between psychotic people EVER !
I am also getting pretty damn tired of human beings using the name of a divine being to justify their own immoral transgressions. No god of mine would sanction such slaughter. If anyone has "blasphemed" the good name of Jesus of Nazareth, I would say that most Christian leaders throughout history would be wearing the red hand.
Have any of you even bothered studying history at all?
You cling to a book of fairy tales, call yourself Christians when you are really Hebrew yet do not follow Hebrew doctrine. You ignore truth, allow your church to continue preaching horrible lies about a GREAT man in human history.
A young Jew changes the world by preaching love and compassion in the midst of brutality and chaos and the most despicable warring nation in our past nails him to a cross, brands his wife a prostitute for all years to come and writes a giant fairy tale to mask his legitimate claim to regal power and YOU all continue to FEED THE FALLACY!
There is something I would like to say in regards to the comments #1."white people with too much time" and #2."feeding hungry children"...
#1.I flew out from Florida with no sleep early Wednesday morning after getting off of work late the night before to support my brothers, Anthony and Jason in this endeavor, then flew back to be at work early this morning for a 12 hour shift...my time is very limited.
And I think it is shameful to spin YOUR racial comments that way. I do not view a person's skin tone as any indicator of their capacity for compassion or a judge of their character.
#2.If ALL of us do not start taking better care of our world, there will be nothing left for our children or our childrens' children. There is either going to be an evolution of the human race through compassion or there will BE NO HUMAN RACE. Wake up and shed the apathy.
Excellent information, Caroline! Great work...
Did you know that the American Psychiatric Association bases its diagnostic definition of delusional insanity on cafeteria christians? Heh, funny stuff, I bet you didn't know that, Gladys.
Lady, you'll believe just about anything that fits your agenda that you can find on the internet, won't you?
From Essene Gospel Of Peace of Jesus Christ
And Jesus himself sat down in their midst and said: "I tell you truly, none can be happy, except he do the Law."
And the others answered: "We all do the laws of Moses, our lawgiver, even as they are written in the holy scriptures."
And Jesus answered: "Seek not the law in your scriptures, for the law is life, whereas the scripture is dead. I tell you truly, Moses received not his laws from? God in writing, but through the living word. The law is living word of living God to living prophets for living men. In everything that is life is the law written. You find it in the grass, in the tree, in the river, in the mountain, in the birds of heaven, in the fishes of the sea; but seek it chiefly in yourselves. For I tell you truly, all living things are nearer to God than the scripture which is without life. God so made life and all living things that they might by the everlasting word teach the laws of the true God to man.
God wrote not the laws in the pages of books, but in your heart and in your spirit. They are in your breath, your blood, your bone; in your flesh, your bowels, your eyes, your ears, and in every little part of your body. They are present in the air, in the water, in the earth, in the plants, in th e sunbeams, in the depths and in the heights. They all? speak to you that you may understand the tongue and the will of the living God. But you shut your eyes that you may not see, and you shut your ears that you may not hear. I tell you truly, that the scripture is the work of man, but life and all its hosts are the work of our God. Wherefore do you not listen to the words of God which are written in His works? And wherefore do you study the dead scriptures which are the work of the hands of men?"
How about the beatitude part of the bible that pro-kill "Christians" love to ignore.
Beatitudes
Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
words of Jesus
"And whatsoever ye do unto the Cast of these my children, ye do it unto me. For I am in them and they are in me, Yea, I am in all creatures and all creatures are in me. In all their joys I rejoice, in all their afflictions I am afflicted. Wherefore I say unto you: Be ye kind one to another, and to all the creatures of God."
"God giveth the grains and the fruits of the earth for food: and for righteous man truly there is no other lawful sustenance for the body."
Gospel of the Holy Twelve; Lection 38
(The Roman Catholic church also sought to suppress translations of the Dead Sea Scrolls (see books "Dead Sea Scrolls Deception" & "Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered"), which showed aspects of the Essene teachings at Qumran, many of which Jesus taught, that the church didn't want published, because it contradicted official church teachings.
The Essene Gospel of Peace, also called the Gospel of Peace of Jesus Christ, was written earlier than any book in the New Testament.)
The discovery of Christ's original teachings In 1870, an Aramaic manuscript entitled "The Gospel of the Nazirenes" was discovered, translated and published. This ancient scripture, hidden away for centuries in a Tibetan monastery, seems in virtually every respect identical to the work by the same title, that was known and widely quoted from in the first century by the church. Many of the most revered early church fathers, as well as a surprising number of scholars today, have boldly declared that the legendary Gospel of the Nazirenes, later to be known as "The Gospel of the Holy Twelve," is nothing less than the long-lost original Gospel which, legend holds, was collectively written by the actual 12 apostles in the period immediately following Christ's death, and upon which all of the Biblical synoptic Gospels are based.
Also in your "all true words of God" bible there are 101 contradiction so was God a hypocrite? Slavery, rape and genocide was also condoned by "God" even human sacrifice and murder.
Whats worse with these "christian" hunters they use the bible to kill animals for sports and trophy.
"The Fear and Terror of you shall fall upon all the creatures of the earth, all the birds of the heavens, and all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant." Genesis 9:2-3 " Gladys
You seriously think God is about "fear and dread"?? Those words were put there by man not by God the bible been rewritten by the Romans who put meat eating and animal killing in the bible.
For 400 years after Jesus, ALL christians were vegetarian.
But the Romans wanted to continue there traditional religion of eating meat, drinking alcohol etc
So they falsified Jesus teachings, set up the Vatican, made a random demon the successor to Jesus, called him a "Pope", killed vegetarian christians.
Destroyed most true scripture. This Gospel here? was found hidden though. As many other scriptures have been found now, hidden away from smart disciples because Jesus warned this would happen
"Some are not aware that, after the Council of Nicea, the manuscripts of? the New Testament were considerably tampered with. Certain scholars called "Correctores" were appointed by the ecclesiastical authorities, and were actually commissioned to correct the text of the scripture in the interest of what was considered orthodox."
Archdeacon Wilderforce
"What these correctores did? was to cut out of the Gospels, with minute care, certain teachings of our Lord which they did not propose to follow - namely, those against the eating of flesh and the taking of strong drink."
Rev. Gideon Jasper Richard Ousley
"A Meat Eating Interpretation of the bible became the official creed of the Roman Empire, and vegetarian Christians had to practice in secret or risk being put to death for heresy. It is said Constantine used to pour molten lead down their throats if vegetarian? Christians were captured."
Archdeacon Wilderforce
"After my departure there will arise the ignorant and the crafty, and many things will they ascribe unto Me that I never spake, and many things which I did speak will they withhold, but the day will come when the clouds shall be rolled away, and the Sun of Righteousness shall shine forth with healing in his wings" ~Jesus, The Essene Gospel of Peace
click onto my name there is a video called "Did Jesus approve of hunting"?
That's okay, Gladys, really it is: you don't have to admit to it, you are, regardless of your personal admission to such.
"A high and mighty cunt who loves to hear herself belittle others and feels completely justified because she's doing it for the sake of the animals..."
I'm confused - is that a bad thing???
I will admit to being "speciesist" (if that's even a word) if you admit to being a high and mighty cunt who only loves to hear herself belittle others and feels completely justified because she's doing it "for the sake of animals."
Fabulous, the omen is alive and well and its name is Gladys. Is it story time already? You thumpers always disregard Eden, don't you?
"You are clearly unhinged and not really in possession of a sense of history or rather..."
Oh, Beazley, I cannot express enough how your criticism saddens me; it's always been my hope that animal-killing sucks such as yourself love me. If you just give me just one moment to compose myself...
Get over yourself. That's fluff, irrelevant banter; a rock has a greater effect on me than you. "Benevolent forest goddess"??? Are you and Gladys reading the same fairy tales? "Anthropology"? Five syllables. Wow, that must have hurt...
"Like any fanatic, wrapped up in their own righteousness, you TOTALLY missed the point that a person can be broadly in support of animal rights or broadly against animal cruelty while still allowing for things like sustainable farming and yes, hunting."
Move over, Rover, Beazley has spoken! Are you sure it's TOTALLY or could it perhaps be totally? Do you kiss the mirror in order to get closer to yourself? Your smug, self-import is rather embarrassing. You must get that a lot, though.
ANYWAY...Any animal that is used as a human product, be it for food, clothing, sport, entertainment, or testing is treated inhumanely, absent any rights you so proudly champion. Any animal given human-defined "freedoms" in accordance with human-based goals, is exploited. The sad part is, oh History Master, you REFUSE (not refuse) to acknowledge that these sentient beings have rights unto themselves absent YOUR selfish definitions! There can never be any rights as long as they are defined with YOU first and them last. When you view them in accordance with how they benefit YOU, you are completely disregarding their inherent worth, ignoring any tiny semblance of rights. Your pathetic, feeble attempts to promote "compassion" towards animals is only centered on you and how YOU believe they should be treated. Your egotistical anthropocentrism, by definition, excludes ALL OTHER BEINGS as having import. Your problem, your idiocy, your selfishness, indeed your fundamental stupidity is that you think you are more important than any other being on this planet. When you elevate yourself to some god-like status, bestowing a consideration here, a few improvements there, a nod here or a blessing there, you are absolutely denying animals any rights while encouraging and supporting cruelty. Here's the thing, tosspot, the dogs bred massively, for example, unnecessarily, and cruelly are treated exactly like the cows, like the chickens, like the pigs, but since you enjoy a good steak, you, based on your selfish desires, do not consider the cattle as having worth outside your greed. RIGHT???
The moment you become one who believes he can define what animals have rights, what those rights are, and what animals can be exploited is the end of your ability to extend compassion based on an absence of speciesism. The moment you make yourself the sun and all other beings the planets is the end of the moment when they exist beyond your selfish goals.
You're a poser, a fake, praising yourself for this immense amount of caring you have for animals: you condemn those industries that are ALREADY socially condemned. Who the hell will criticize your stance against puppy mills? For goodness sake, puppies are worshiped in this country. And who the hell would criticize your opposition to dogfighting??? Are you kidding? Way to take a stand! Way to defend the animals in industries that are ALREADY either illegal or denounced already! WOW. You totally rock, Beazly, what a courageous person you are! 99% of this country is against both, it must be really scary having so little support, here, let me hold your hand, I understand your fear of being alone!!
And, hey, what about those veal crates? DO YOU EAT DAIRY????
You're a suck-up, a brown-nosing coward, ashamed to admit your complicity in the suffering and exploitation of all animals so you piss a few (disingenuous) points here and there just to attempt to prove to yourself that you are able to be kind. Pat yourself on the back, you servile suck, because nobody else will - they're all too busy patting themselves, too.
Stacy,
You are clearly unhinged and not really in possession of a sense of history or rather...anthropology with regard to the practice of agriculture. And yeah, exactly like I said, you just don't like people who like to hunt...which is fine but let's not confuse your bigoted bullshit for the empathy and compassion of the benevolent forest goddess you are pretending to be.
Like any fanatic, wrapped up in their own righteousness, you TOTALLY missed the point that a person can be broadly in support of animal rights or broadly against animal cruelty while still allowing for things like sustainable farming and yes, hunting. But you are so quick to paint this as a black and white "with us or against us" issue and to paint people who do not share your convictions as evil sadists, that the end result is that you drive people who would otherwise be sympathetic to your cause away with your hysterical raving and overwrought public displays of shitheadedness.
Canada, eh? How aboot that. We've got an honest to God international crisis on our hands here in SMP.
They WILL however, remember that in the not too distant future YOU did try to educate them and wish to GOD or whatever deity they pray to they had listened to what you said. My most fervent wish is that they meet their maker and HE slams the door in their pathetic faces!
"The Fear and Terror of you shall fall upon all the creatures of the earth, all the birds of the heavens, and all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant." Genesis 9:2-3
Stacey, Miriam: I think you are wasting your precious time with these dullard back-woods rednecks. They have confirmed, at least to me, that they couldn't care less about the murder they commit each and every day in the name of greed. They demonstrate with every word they type how moronic they are. Don't spend any more time trying to educate the dolts when they have no empathy for innocent beings much less their own ilk. They WILL however, remember that in the not too distant future YOU did try to educate them and wish to GOD or whatever deity they pray to they had listened to what you said. My most fervent wish is that they meet their maker and HE slams the door in their pathetic faces! These people are indeed pathetic excuses for human kind and no amount of education (and I have to wonder if they went to school at all) is going to do any good. They are intent on annihilating all forms of life other than than the two legged variety. They cannot say they weren't warned!!!!These anthropocentric neanderthals are going to wake up and wonder what the hell happened and they have only themselves to blame. I have no sympathy for them AT ALL!!!
To Anonymous. I can't wait to leave all the morons like Gladys behind.
I LOVE hunting accidents....LOLOL They just brighten up my whole day. ROFLMAO
Gladys says:
"Since you are not from around here, how about your mind the business in your own fucking zip code."
Let me explain to you in simple terms, Gladys, why the slaughter of deer in Kansas matters to ME, here in Victoria, British Columbia. Look it up on the map. I'm not only not in your zip code, I'm not in your country.
What is happening in this park is the wrong response to a man-made problem.
The international community is watching this atrocity and learning from it.
The freedom to commit whole-sale slaughter on a species in a public park (an over-population that is well-known to have been encouraged by the hunters themselves)will be up for scrutiny in more states and provinces than you can shake a stick at, thanks to the combined efforts of the hunters and the activists.
You see, Gladys, we are an evolving species. Unfortunately, we'll have to leave some of you behind.
Wow, the park is quiet because there are hardly any deer to be seen? Isn't that the point? Deer don't raise a ruckus and they don't like BEING seen. However, I have it on good authority that they DO like being lightly seared and then slow-roasted to about 140 degrees and served with a side of potatoes and carrots. Deer, it's what's for dinner. Man, I'm hungry.
Sean how depressing it must be to see no more life just dark and deathly quiet. I know what its like because here there was once life and now there is no more. I think this year they killed more deer then did before and its so sad and and I missed them for they kept me happy. There are still few here but I am worried because there is about 3 weeks left of bowhunting.
I heard from another person about how quiet it was in DEATH PARK with hardly any deer to be seen and how sad and cruel the park felt that is why I am wondering what the hell are going to do with bowhunters?
What deer ?
Anybody who takes the time to visit SM Park has to notice the obvious.
The cull has decimated the deer population.
And yet, they refuse to stop the next cull.
You're lucky if you can now spot more than 4 deer total anywhere in the park.
I've seen more opossums than deer lately.
The KC Star and the local news channels should get out of their comfy newsrooms and start doing actual reporting instead of just transcribing what the Park Board feeds them.
They should put on some warm clothes, bring a powerful light, plan on staying till close and going on the trails and through the park counting the deer.
Something is very bizarre in the whole deer cull situation.
It's not a matter of hunters vs animal rights people.
A major red flag is how the deer population was originally determined .
It appears that one man from the KDWP used an old and outdated formula to make a determination .
Did he even survey the park ?
Was his evidence empirical or just anecdotal ?
How, when and where did he go ?
Times of day ? Sunrise and sunset and full dark ?
Did he just drive around on paved roads or did he spend time in various wooded areas of the park proper ?
Which areas ?
The JCPRD should release all data on exactly how and where the numbers were determined.
And the local media should finally act like journalists and if necessary use the FOIA .
They must start asking questions and demanding answers.
Gosh,
I had beef brisket for lunch, turkey for a snack, and venison for supper. I just pooped and it all came out the same. WOW!
:<)
One more thing I like to add about the "meat" excuse. Shawnee Mission Park aka DEATH PARK murdered 313 innocent sentient deer now what happened to all the bodies? Why isn't all the hunter who brag about "mmm venison" running so each can grab a couple of the 313 murdered bodies to shove in their freezer?. Why did it had to be "given" to the pantries?
Sports hunters kill because they enjoy killing plain and simple not for "food".
God bless Anthony Marr and the rest of the campaigners for what they are doing to help the animals. Hunting is disgusting and despicable. He who harms God's innocent creatures will one day have to pay for their sins. "Thou shalt not kill" !!!
Dan, Anthony Marr's has been everywhere around the world and he has pictures of tigers he has taken just click onto my name and you will see it.
What have you done dan who have you helped and what areas have you traveled besides the surrounding areas of your trailer park home?
In the sports hunting community the killing is not for "food" but for recreation, sports and trophy. Majority do not eat the meat that is why they "give" to the pantries and why they have "hunters for hungry" because they know hunters wont eat their kill.
Deer are not people but their capability to feel terror, pain and suffering is the same as ours and that is all the reason we need to save them from harm and death from wildlife serial killers. If you do not want it done to you then you don't do it to them. Simple.
Also with the risk of Prions and other wildlife disease like TB most hunters do not want the meat so they "give" the pantries. CWD/Mad deer disease are the scariest although incubation time for Prions is 20-40 years , once it attack the brain you die within 2 years and its a horrible death. Prions are almost indestructible and the carcass of animals that died for CWD have to incinerated till its liquefied to destroy it. Human who have died from prions when their body were unearthed to study them further no one wanted to touch it.
The poor pantries people I wonder how many is going to die in the near future. Sports hunters care about no one or nothing only about themselves and their right to destroy life.
Are you suggesting that war, rape, homelessness, torture, imprisonment, and murder are equivalent to hunting? Deer are not people and should not be treated as such. They should be treated as food, because that's what they are.
lol. gladys is sort of creepy huh.
anyway, i'm having a beer right now.
And why is Canadian Mr Miyagi in the picture holding a pair of binoculars in front of a picture of a tiger? It's not even a real tiger, it's a picture of a tiger!
Then by those standards I should not be concerned with war, rape, homelessness, torture, imprisonment, or murder outside my own zip code, Gladys. Is this what you were taught? That's so sad, I pity your small, selfish life.
Oh, and by the way, I'm also concerned with war, rape, homelessness, torture, imprisonment, and murder of humans outside my zip code, too.
Wait, you're telling me that people are having a funeral procession for deer? People in the suburbs have too much free time.
Since you are not from around here, how about your mind the business in your own fucking zip code.
Stacey dear, Men are trying to have a conversation here. Be a darling and fetch us a beer, will you?
Give me a break, how the hell do you know where I live? Huh?
Because the internets told me, sweetheart!
Google "hunting accident and CASH" and you will see the rest of the list and the season is not even over yet and those are just whats been called in there are more out there.
This is not about veganism its about the lives of innocent animals killed for human amusement and the lies of the hunting industry which is destroying the lives of innocent human and non human animals too when they are hit by stray bullet or arrow not intended for them or when they are mistaken for a '"game" animal.
Then the DVA's that continue to rise which means the hunting industry should be liable for human death from DVA's.
Gladys says:
"Stacey and Caroline, neither of you live in Johnson County, nor do you pay taxes here. Please go away. You are unpleasant eco-fascists who wish to enforce your "vegan" way of life on everyone else. Your "hero" (read domestic terrorist and general pain in the ass) Jason Miller runs a website called Thomas Paine's corner. Thomas Paine was the author of a pamphlet named Common Sense. That is something that you all are lacking, Miller included."
Oh, Gladys, you do have a bitchy side - get a wee bit snippy when you cannot respond with rational answers because you HAVE NO rational answers. Give me a break, how the hell do you know where I live? Huh? Oh, and PUHLEASE. Forcing my vegan way of life on YOU? Get ready for it, sweetie, you earned it: ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN BOMBARDED WITH THE MEAT, DAIRY, HUNTING, FUR MESSAGES! Can you hear me, lovey? Everywhere I go, everywhere I've been, every book, magazine, commercial, store, business, corporation, school, and transportation has constantly and consistently touted the meat and dairy messages; you cannot go two steps or live two seconds in this world without being blasted with the animals-as-products mantra. Your self-serving race is a perpetual animal-killing machine, smashing ecosystems, killing species, contributing to the destruction of the planet and you have the AUDACITY TO BITCH ABOUT TRYING TO SAVE SOME DEER? You are the most self-centered, wretched person I've met in the past, oh, three hours, your kind spawning as fast as you can kill animals And you know what? You consider Jason a pain in the ass because you like to kill animals while he tries to save them? Hm, not exactly an ethical challenge: kill, not kill, kill, not kill, kill, not kill. You're an indecent, immoral pain-in-the-planet, a wretched oxygen sucking waste of space.
Caroline, you sound like a middle aged white woman with absolutely nothing to do. Come out of your cozy McMansion and join the rest of us in reality. And get a job while you're at it.
Well Gladys you name how many people died as a result of ARA "terrorist". Give me names Gladys can you?
Terrorism is what you all do to the innocent sentient life in their own home separating families, leaving fawn orphaned, animals dying a horrific death. That is REAL TERRORISM
Then you have hunting accidents where hunters kill innocent human and non-human animals like the most recent ones of a dog named Miles killed by bowhunter, or the young college student shot dead when mistaken for a deer or the young girl and mother on horseback shot by a hunter right before Thanksgiving. That IS TERRORISM
Bullets from hunter flying thru day care center is TERRORISM or thru houses, into cribs, pillows That is TERRORISM!!!!.
Deer Vehicle Accident fatalities caused by hunting from the abundance of deer produced by the hunting industry and then you have the sports wildlife serial killers terrorizing the forest sending deer to flee for their lives.
Lastly you kill yourselves, each other even your own children in hunting accidents.
