Personally I liked the video because 1. The cool video tech he used on the scope and 2. the shots were very nice shots.

I recently read a hunting thread "Everything went wrong today" on one of my gun forums where the guy said he shot a running buck, and then when they caught up to it it was still alive and struggling so they shot it again with a handgun, then it tried to run away some more and then after 2 more shots it finally died.

READING that was WAY more disturbing to me than watching this video.

I love a good debate and this is a great topic to debate. It doesnt involve politics or religion which are two of the worst things to get into a debate over as it will almost never end.

Agreed.

If you are not a hunter, there is no way to convey to a non-hunter how important and fundamental a "clean" kill is..some people will take a stand and say "any" killing is wrong..which is their right. But for those of us who hunt, I see these videos as an affirmation of how to take game down as cleanly and expeditiously as posssible..which is the whole point.

All these are extraneous arguments on this thread are just that..extraneous..and have no business being discussed here

On the other hand there are people wo kill animals which most probably would have lived in the wild till a natural death. Or would have been killed by another animal - natural cicle of life. Not by a retard with a high-tech gun.

That's my point of view.

You forget that we are animals.

Just let me have my opinion and you can have yours. It's true that we are omnivores by nature, no doubt about it. Any kind of rifle however is not natural. It would be natural if that mofo would catch that squirrel with his bear hands. And even then I would say it wasn't necessery. I also don't get your sense of humor and don't know what made you laught about this vid. For me it's not funny.

So let's just stop here please. I see I can't change your view on things and you will not change mine.

Natural!? Who cares if something isn't natural such as a weapon, its a part of evolution and we have evolved to the point that we may create something so we don't have to catch it with our bare hands. So when primitive humans starting hunting with bow and arrows to survive, was that wrong? At least he is attempting clean shots and not torturing animals.

Take your PITA arsh to some third world country and prevent people from eating dogs and cats, now thats wrong!

Anyone see the Family Guy where Brian hits a dog while driving drunk and kills it? He tries to turn himself in for murder and everyone laughs?

Animals kill each other all the time, and in much more violent and painful ways than a quick shot to the head. He is eating it, it's all good. Squirrel is pretty tasty IMO. The ways animals are treated on most farms are far more cruel.

What does squirrel taste like? more like beef? pork? chicken? Just curious.

My wife kills more squirrel picking the kids up from school in her SUV than that guy did in 3 hours of hunting.

So a better argument for you would be that this guy took away a food source for another animal that went hungry. However that starts getting into what-ifs and theories so its best not to argue over something may or may not have happened if the squirrel was not killed by this man.


lol racist? really?

Where we came from and how we got here refers to the evolution of human life over the past centuries. Less than 200 years ago you had to hunt to get most of your protein (meat) as there was not a mass production food industry. We didn't have large scale farms breeding animal stock to be slaughtered, packaged, and shipped to your local grocery store. Until this modernization of food supply life was a lot rougher than it is now. Instead of not being able to afford food, if you couldn't hunt chances are you didn't eat meat and meat was a crucial part of the human diet back then. People didn't have the luxury of being vegan or vegetarian and buying everything they want to eat in a store.

So for you to read what I as racist when I mention NOTHING negative about a specific race shows your character and how you choose to read too far into things. You're looking for a way to make me look bad because I called you out for thoughtlessly demanding the death of another human whom you do not know over the internet.

So if you want to quote me and reply to my comment, reply with an answer to my challenge. Would YOU shoot the creator of this video if you were face to face and he was unarmed.

You said "realize where YOU came from" in your first post
When you write it like you did in the above, "realize where WE came from"
It makes much more sense
that's why I thought you were being racist.

And no I would not shoot the creator of is video
And that's not what I said
I said I'd like to see the creator of this video in the same situation he put the squirrel in

Your whole point of the squirrel being a rodent, which makes it ok to kill him
Trust me, the biggest rodent on this planet are humans
No other species has fucked up this planet as much
But because we know we are the top of the food chain
We think it's ok to desecrate all other life forms, for shits and giggles

If I'm killing an animal to eat it, I would not be taking a video and uploading it to YouTube.
That to me is what makes this a problem
He wasn't doing it to eat, He was showing off
And anyone showing off killing another living being, is not ok in my book.
