Yes! And gloating about that is not an attractive quality. Why not try explaining what you mean.
Good point!

I've been hunting for over 30 years .. trapping since 8 and shooting since 10 .. and I am under the impression that I am able to debate/argue as logically (or as irrationally for fun) as the next person. Actually my perception is that growing up with politics has given me the ability to out debate/argue more logically than most mugslies and dingbats who care to take me on.
According to my bigotry, it is animal rights veg nazis who are unable to debate or even think logically, because they allow their emotional extremism to dominate their intellect.
You can't debate logically with a hunter
It was a silly comment. At present I can only be emotive about this subject - so I shouldn't have added to the thread. Hunting is tolerable when it's out of necessity.

It was explained, sometimes you've just got to give up and laugh at the hypocrisy

You're just passionate about whales, mantra. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Well, as long as both parties are consenting adults... I guess...

That must be why they call them 'humpback' whales.

It's not just the whales Ethnic that I'm concerned about - it's hunting generally as a sport, but for a huge animal like the whale it takes so long to die and suffers for quite a while in the process. There's often a calf left behind to fend for itself.
I can see FD's point also. This is a tired old subject.

There was no hypocrisy on my part boxy. If people ask me to explain 9.9 times out of 10 I will do my damnedest to explain. It's not a huge ask... but freediver thought it better to gloat than to explain.

Well, if it is a tired old subject for him... why doesn't he stay out of it and let those who do not think that way, explore it.
I am with you Mantra, I think hunting mammals has no place in modern society.... not when we have mastered animal husbandry (which could be a lot less cruel also)
It is cruel to hunt and kill for sport or employment rather than for food. And I am more than happy to discuss that with anyone, except freediver, who has made his gloating and disinclination for sharing knowledge and opinion absolutely clear.
