Alberta ban on spear hunting after American hunter kills black bear

I certainly do understand the aspect about not posting 'kill' videos, but I must admit, I'm growing very tired about tap dancing around the 'feelings' of people I have absolutely no respect for, whatsoever. I'm talking about those that waste their lives living vicariously, watching those that actually get out and do something, try something difficult, get out of their personal 'comfort zone', and work/train for it; but then get all whiny and butt hurt cause of the video content. So wait a minute, it's ok to 'kill' people in a video game, watch the CG blood spurt, but watching a 'kill' in reality is not politically correct, cause now it hurts our feelings? Give me a break...get off your fat butt, get out of Mommie's basement, grow a pair, and go do something for real! I wonder if these are the same folks that would rather get off watching #### vs the real deal, cause they might not do it right? I wonder how these useless wastes of skin will react when the 'gun control, progressive' folks eventually come for their CG guns and games? This crap reminds me so much of the movie 'Demolition Man';where Bullock says to Stallone....'eeeewww that is just so messy.'

I understand your perspective. Just be very aware that an "in your face" approach will not achieve the desired results. Ever.

Oh yes, I do understand that, but that does not mean I have to respect these folks. No, I am not 'in their face', but should we have a SHTF event in my life, I will take satisfaction from knowing they will be the first to go. I do remember a saying from my university days, even before the video game/internet era......."those than can, do; those that can't teach". I would add to that.......'those that can't even teach, will live in Mommie's basement and play/watch video/internet games'.

I too will take pleasure if the SHTF, knowing all the meat-eating anti-hunters will be panicking when they can no longer buy the nice meat in the Styrofoam containers. I will not offer help. I will not stop to hear their pleas.

I have been told many times by meat-eating antis in-my-face to "give the animals a chance and put my gun away, go buy meat off shelves instead".

Yeah no kidding.
99% of times I prefer reconciliation, but I must confess I have since stopped talking to those specific yuppy-urbanite-meat-eating-antis-idiots in person and blocked those morons from my Facebook.

Sorry for the rant.

true, but at the same time slinking away in the shadows can lead to marginalization to the point where we can be picked off one by one. Death by a thousand cuts as it were.
 
Honestly what's the difference in how the animal dies as long as it is quick and humane as reasonably possible whether it's by bow (mini spears), rifle, shotgun, or spear. It worked for man for 1000's of years why is it so horrible now. We live in a world of pita loving idiots (other word)
 
The beach that was mention earlier I have a cousin working up there managing a gas station and contracting as a consultant apparently the band was having to pay for cleaning up the mess from Partiers and vandals on the beach
Bandmembers wear avoiding taking ther family's on there beach
Warning sign was put up and ignored that is why the beach was closed to the public
Interpretation can be a dangerous thing With out all the facts
I called my cousin and asked him as he working and consulting with other bands helping them learn to manage ther gas stations to be profitable
my facts are not from Facebook everyone would be a lot better off not passing around Internet gossip

The ban on spear hunting is like the beach people see or read sumthing and start over reacting make up there own conclusions with out the facts or back story and we can see the results

I don't think those are the only two options.

A strong but respectful voice with a focus on a love of the outdoors, wildlife and natural food is the best way forward. The image of the hunter as a blood-thirsty, macho moron needs to be put to rest. Anyone who contributes to the proliferation of that image is our enemy, IMO.

The best thing to do to those people is show them some PETA (yes, seriously) videos of what happens to animals in the industrial food system. Inform them that they are supporting that abuse by buying meat.

Then simply tell them that at least hunters take responsibility for the death of the animals they eat. If they don't STFU after that then they can be ignored. They are a waste of time.
 
Further to my post above, I think the various provincial Wildlife Federations should collaborate on a National PR campaign in an effort to better inform the Canadian public about hunting.

I propose a series of (high production value/quality) videos which show hunting in a positive light. One video idea that I have involves a splitscreen video juxtaposing the entire process of field to table - industrial meat on the left, wild game on the right. The two processes, side by side, through all stages of the life of the animal, the death/killing, processing, storage, etc.

If done right, I think this could be an incredibly powerful video.

We need to show how wonderful it is to be so deeply connected with the food that we eat. Most of the 1st world has lost touch with this reality.

Another idea would be to compare, in a similar manner, the hunter and the gardener. The love of gardening and the reasons why people garden are shared by many hunters.

If I had the funds to put this type of stuff together, I wouldn't hesitate. I could dedicate my life to promoting hunting if it was financially feasible for me to do so.
 
Nice up on the necrothread Jim.

Couple thoughts, and first a question. Did this ban ever go through.

The reason the left hates hunting:
-free thinking independent minded people- you should worship government.
- people can bypass controlled sources of food. No regulations, no tax revenue. No government control.
- Hunters are armed and able to resist tyranny.

Another comparable, if you stretch. Heating with firewood. Independent, not taxed, separate from oil,gas, electric companies lobbying and bribes. They will say it causes pollution. The principle building block of wood is carbon dioxide, evil carbon. When burnt wood releases less carbon than it absorbed since some remains with ash/charcoal.

Follow the Benjamin's err ahh Bordens. It's control and tax farming-us.
