*A nation run by serial killers Lets brush aside all the fluff and window- dressing and BS and get down to the bare bones, shall we? The cold hard fact of the matter is that not only are the vast majority of politicians under the thumbs of powerful serial killers, but are themselves serial killers. I am talking about recreational hunters and trophy hunters. The fact that their victims are non-human does not alter the fact that they have no compassion, revel in bloodshed, derive pleasure from another beings suffering, and practice serial killing as a form of entertainment. A nation run by serial fun-killers cannot be great. Anthony Marr If the public knew the WHOLE truth about the hunting industry they will have no more support only from their own killing kind. "A third type of serial killers is the Lust Killer. The lust killer is often driven to kill due to a sexual motivation. A fourth subgroup of serial killers is known as a Thrill Killer. A thrill killer takes lives because they enjoy the experience of killing. A fifth sort of serial killer is the Power Seeker Killer, a person who enjoys having total control over the fate of their victims." Killing For Sports - Inside the Minds of Serial Killers - Pat Brown Sounds like sports hunters? About the "lust" part I heard recreational hunters say killing animals is a good as sex and some gets "turned on" . *** In recent years, due both to the increase in deer population as well as vehicular volume, deer-vehicle accidents (DVAs) and human-deer conflicts (HDCs) have been on the rise across the nation. The simplistic and short-sighted yet common way to address DVAs and HDCs is to kill deer in large numbers, often inside city limits by such divisive means as bow-hunting, sharp-shooting and captive-bolting, often at great financial and social cost. Moral, social, financial and safety concerns aside, even a 50% reduction in deer number seldom reduce the DVA rates by 25%, and reduce the HDC rates hardly at all. Further, due to the Compensatory Rebound Effect (CRE), by which a drastically culled deer population, given a sudden plentitude of food, could re-expand by 30% within 12 months, and double itself within 3 years, culling as a method is self-perpetuating, requiring more culling year after year, with no end in sight. It is, however, very profitable for the pro cullers, one of whom is quoted as saying that culling "is like mowing lawn", meaning that once started, it will have to be done again and again. Solon, OH, for example, pop. 23,000, spent $520,000 culling 1,000 deer in 2004/2005. In 2006/2007, the culler is back again. And so will he be in 2007, and 2008, and 2009, and 2010..., unless a new, integrated, non-lethal, long-term strategy is employed. Hunting culture doctrine has it that any deer management plan, even those employing non-lethal methods, must also include a lethal element. This could be true a century ago, but not today. Given the broad range of 21st century technologies - fencing (both active and passive), repellents, deterrents, contraception, city-planning concepts, and a new deer-relocation technology called the Deer Auto-Conveyer (DAC), conceived by Canadian wildlife conservationist Anthony Marr, which involves no harassment or capture. The deer management firm Deer Options Enterprise employs all these techniques in affordable site-specific, comprehensive, integrated, non-lethal deer management packages Update - IC Deer Contraception is now EPA and FDA approved for field implementation and Anthony Marr has a new device to save deer called DAA. Overall "Deer Management" is a sham, the only thing they "manage" is to ensure enough deer to kill year after year. Whitetails is a billion dollar industry and bring in 70% of the sports hunting industry profit. The profit does not benefit the non-killing public but to create more land to use as killing field and to propagate game animals to kill for "fun" mostly the deer as humans die each year in DVA's and the hunters pretend they will "save the town from DVA's" when they are creating the deer herd themselves plus DVA peaks during hunting season.
