Hunting saves wildlife

Apparently for left Lib loons, there’s a big difference between raising meat (animals) for slaughter and hunting them.  Humans have been hunting animals for food since the most famous cavemen ever - Fred and Barney - first learned to throw a stone or hit something with a stick.

A couple of ladies have been targeted in left Lib’s never ending war on women.  In the post under, Lex notes the case of Kendell Jones.  Now we have the case of Belgian beauty Axelle Despiegelaere – here after known simply as AD.  AD was spotted in the crowd at the World Cup.  So stunning was her appearance that L’Oreal offered her a modeling deal on the spot.  That deal went kaput when pictures surfaced of AD hunting. 

It seems the left Libs who have no qualms about eating a cow that was shot in the face with a cap bolt gun, made famous in the movie No Country for Old Men, from less than a foot away, get the heebie jeebies about giving an animal a fighting chance while stalking it in the wild and shooting it from a challenging distance.

The only thing more annoying than the left Libs who denounce hunting while stuffing their faces with a hamburger are the left Lib vegan crowd.  What a bunch pompous creeps for the most part.

Dad used to make a point that the one thing Texans, Notre Dame grads and Marines all had in common was that none of them could go more than three sentences without reminding you that they were a Texan, a Notre Dame grad or a Marine.  I would add vegan to that illustrious group – which of course would make it a way less illustrious group. 

I don’t give a hoot if someone wants to subsist entirely on broccoli, hickory nuts and distilled water.  So why is the vegan crowd always preaching to us about what real food is doing to our intestines, the environment and our general health? 

If you mention to an emaciated vegan that you were a bit stiff in the morning after an all day basketball tournament or better yet a weekend of hunting, they will lecture you that if you just put down that disgusting hamburger - that is killing you by the way - and got a bit more sal palmetto and arugula into your diet that wouldn’t happen.  BS.  Total BS.

But anyway back to hunting.  Human management of natural resources – wild animals - insures their survivability.  In the early 1900’s the American Whitetail Deer population was estimated to be about 500,000.  In a rare case of government that works, after state Department of Natural Resources cropped up and controlled the taking of deer, the deer population exploded.  Today there are an estimated 20 million Whitetail in America.

Many of them are making a nuisance of themselves by eating Mz. Lex’s driveway planters.  As soon as one of Mz. Lex’s plants would flower and look nice, boom, it would be eaten to the ground.  The destruction was so pervasive one year that I took to calling the planters "Diana’s deer feeders."  Products to keep the deer away were more like an exotic spice that insured a plant’s total destruction.

But she will cringe at the thought of shooting one or two of the culprits – no matter how desperately a few of them need to be shot.   So if shooting a few overpopulated deer is off-putting, imagine the reaction to shooting a leopard.  That was Kendall Jones’s crime against humanity.  I guess for some it makes no difference if the animal is mauling children waiting for a school bus, if that animal is “beautiful” it cannot be dealt with.    

The idea that humans are forever encroaching on wildlife habitat is as big line of BS as global warming.  Look at the map of human population density above.  Most of our orb is unpopulated by man.  It shouldn’t shock anyone that other animals prefer not to share a space with humans.  Heck I prefer not live around a bunch humans.  But the wildlife doesn’t die when humans move in.  They just migrate. 

There are a lot more humans moving nearer and nearer to the Lex compound.  If you didn’t know better, you’d think the poor deer would be extinct in a couple of years because of human encroachment on “their habitat.”  We are already seeing fewer of them.  But if you drive two minutes north of the compound on I-69, you would see nothing much more than woods, bean and corn fields.  I suspect that, like the “children” of South and Central America, the deer will just migrate north.

Then there’s the idea of “endangered species.”  When the American Bald Eagle was put on the endangered species list, they were multiplying like rats in Alaska.  The meme was we’d never see another Bald Eagle if we didn’t ban insect control agents like DDT.  As a result of the DDT ban an estimated 50 million humans, mostly Africans, are dead from malaria, but the American Bald Eagle was NEVER in danger of becoming extinct.

It was all environmentalist BS.  Rush Limbaugh opines that Rachael Carson may be responsible for more human deaths than Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot combined.  It was Carson’s book Silent Spring that gave rise to the movement to ban DDT. 

When Lex jr. was young, we’d visit various zoos.  I was amazed at how much of the animal population was listed as “endangered.”  It seems every placard describing the animal on display would list that species as “endangered” then make a plea for money to help protect the animals.

Environmentalist nuts get a logging ban in the Pacific Northwest to protect the Spotted Owl.  Environmentalists claim that the owl will only inhabit the old growth timber land used for logging.  After the ban and displacement of and hardship on 1,000s of logging families are dozens of Spotted Owls found nesting on billboards and Wal-Mart signs.  Then there’s the Brown Smelt a 3 inch fish environmentalist are using to choke off the water supply to California farmers.   BS.

I'm convinced that humans are the main target of environmentalist.  It seems to me, instead of funding environmentalist to protect the animals, there should be some movement requesting funds to protect humans from environmentalists. 

Holy cow way long to day.  No worries.  There will be no extra charge.
