So, while I was out to lunch today I drove past this dog boutique (yes, dogs are special too) and I noticed that they had covered up a bigger than usual fake dog out front with a brown sheet, put garland around its neck and attached antlers to his head. It was pretty cute, festive to say the least. That's when I had a GREAT idea. I know, odd place to get it, they usually come in the shower.
Ok, bare with me here. So I see the mocked up reindeer/dog and think right away of deer. Then I think of people hunting deer (I affectionately call these people redneck-dumbasses). Then I think of the poor deer just foraging for food out in the woods one day when BAM (add a few more BAM's for the drunk redneck-dumbass with bad aim) the deer's life is over. Out of nowhere. Just like that. I mean, what the fuck.
And the thing that gets me, EVERYTIME, is the reasoning for hunting deer (or any other animal); "population control", "they'd starve to death without us thining the heard". *cough-bullshit-cough*
Minus the trophy hunters of course, which is a whole other rant that I can't even begin to tap here.
So, my IDEA. Thought I didn't have one eh? We continue to allow drunk redneck-dumbasses, or hunters if you want to be all PC about it, to control deer populations with high-powered rifles and six-packs of Miller High Life. But, in turn, we allow Fish & Wild Life officers and Park Rangers the right to randomly shoot hunters! It's perfect when you think about it. Hunters are doing it for the meat (well, we'll assume most do any way) so that must mean that they're starving. And if they're starving, one could deduce that their population is getting out of control. So, logic dictates that we need to thin their heard. Irony dictates that process.
So, who's with me?
