Not until they fix that head butting rule and the widowmaker choke hold.

Get it now? What is the WWF? You've assumed that everyone knows what the letters WWF, mean. I'd guess it has something to do with wildlife, but if you really want people to join maybe you ought to tell us the real name of your organization.

My last employer is a big game hunter. A very active member of the Dallas and Houston Safari Clubs. His home and office are full, and I mean full of animals mounted on his walls. Stuffed bear, mountain lion, turkeys, birds. He regulary goes to Africa on his "trophy" hunts and comes back with heads of all kinds of critters. I don't know what half of them are but most have horns.
I've looked at the heads on his walls. Beautiful creatures. Now dead in the name of sport. Gets me sick.
Last year he went to Wyoming. Years earlier he had gone up there and tagged a young elk. No one else could shoot this animal because he had payed for it. The "ranch" where it was being held captive, fed it, fattened it up, and reserved it for the day when he'd go up there and kill it. Well, one day he got the call. His elk was ready. He flew up there, drove down a dirt road, got out of a truck, and shot the elk that had been pretty much raised and fenced in most of its life. Probably abut the time that the elk were being fed their daily feeding. A tame assed elk!!!
And had the nerve to brag about the shot that killed it.

If I had ever told him that I was against hunting and the NRA, he would have fired me on the spot. No doubt in my mind.

Hunting is NOT a sport. It is the fun of killing something and having something to brag about.
I know. I used to hunt. Not anymore because I saw the light. Hunting is no longer necessary. Hasn't been for a long time now.
When the local Parks and Wildlife Associations say a planned hunt is necessary to thin the herd for the good of the deer, it's crap. They tell us that too many deer causes starvation and the deer suffer a slow and painfull death. They could easily go in there (the woods or park) and put these deer to sleep with tranquilizer guns. Then butcher the animal and give it to the homeless. Instead, they let paying "sportsmen" go in there with guns and blast them with hot lead to their bodies.
After all, these hunters paid for their fun by purchasing the right to kill in the form or a hunting license.

I still go on the "hunts". I go with my friends and two brothers. And on different hunting clubs. But just for the campouts. We go for two or three night campouts. They get up before light and go to their deer stands. I sleep in. I go just for the camp out and the evening *@#* sessions, joke telling, and stories, around the campfires. I love that stuff but not the killing they do. I know the mentallity of these people and I do let em know how I feel, no matter if it's a brother, friend, or new aquaintence. Even had a fight with one pilgrim who didn't like my attitude. Put it this way, I've never lost a fight. And neither of us proved a thing. He got up in the morning and went hunting and I slept in.

Here in East Texas, if you go through a hunting season with out killing a deer, you're almost made fun of. You're quietly considered half a man because you didn't make your kill. As if the measure of a man is calculated by how many deer you kill or how many points it has on it's set of antlers.

My brother and a lot of my friends have feeders with timers set on them. They set them up weeks, even months before the season starts. These timers are set for six in the morning and six in the evening. When the timer goes off, this deer feeder starts up and an electric motor powered by a battery starts spinning and throws corn on the ground for the deer to eat. The deer are practically trained and lured to the feeder twice a day.
The season opens and the hunter waits for the deer to come to the feeder.
Boom!!!

Ok. I got off the subject. Which was uhhh...I forgot. Rhino or elephant horns I think.
This "hunting" makes my blood boil. So don't get me started. Well, I guess you did.

The World Wrestling Federation. Hey. It's all fake...jim
