Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr has received more than 7,000 emails about a Wyoming man who reportedly captured and tormented a wolf before killing it, he told Cowboy State Daily on Wednesday.
Some of those are threats.
Lehr said people in his office, as well as Sublette County and Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel, have been receiving threats — including death threats — stemming from Daniel, Wyoming, man Cody Roberts’ reported capture, torment and killing of a wild wolf in late February.
Classic hunter behaviour.
It’s really not.
Hunter safety courses teach to minimize the animal’s suffering, and hunters are the largest proponents for nature conservation.
This man probably thinks he’s a hunter, but he’s not. He’s a sadist and a piece of shit.
No true Scotsman. There are obviously good hunters out there but the majority of them aren’t hunting to feel a connection with nature or for food, it’s so they can feel powerful by killing something and for the praise they’re friends and family will give them for killing something.
You are 100% wrong here, and I’d wager you know little about hunting laws or policy. In terms of personal injury, hunting is the safest sport you can pursue, in large part because the population that hunts is eminently ethical.
This isn’t a No True Scotsman fallacy. This is you presenting a hasty generalization.
Hunting exists in the form it does here in the US because our ancestors killed off most of the natural predators. It is a necessary thing to maintain a positive symbiotic relationship with nature.
Exciting
Hunters are extremely ethical, as evidenced by their lack of personal injuries. If they were less ethical, they would be considerably more bruised and scratched.
Carpenters on the other hand are notoriously unethical, we know this because carpenters are prone to injury on the job. If they were mor ethical they would get hurt a lot less.
I am presenting hasty generalizations. You are using the No True Scotsman fallacy. Both these statements are true.
I’m sure the men who killed those predators thought they were doing a great service to nature and the human race just like the hunters of today delude themselves into thinking they are fulfilling some solemn role that they’d otherwise rather not do. But they wouldn’t fulfil this role at all if it wasn’t a fun enjoyable thing for them to do.
Probably depends on the area you’re from. I couldn’t see older native tribes doing this.
Yeah but they do
