It's a rant, I know, but so what?

A Texas (where else) man plans to set up an Internet Hunting Service.

The idea came last year while viewing another Web site on which cameras posted in the wild are used to snap photos of animals.

"We were looking at a beautiful white-tail buck and my friend said 'If you just had a gun for that.' A little light bulb went off in my head," he said.


What on Earth can we do to stop these idiots? Why is the killing of sentient creatures for SPORT even tolerated in the 21st century? It is totally insane! Kill for food, kill for culling purposes, kill out of control pests. But why make a sport out of it? And before some intolerant, ignorant redneck tells me it is tradition: it is tradition on Pitcairn Island to rape minors, it is tradition in Sri Lanka for tribes to rape and pillage their way through villages, it is tradition to provide wealthy dowries with brides in India and in Saudia Arabia you need 7 witnesses to get a rape conviction. Just because it is tradition, it doesn't mean it is not completely and totally STUPID.

He said an attendant would retrieve shot animals for the shooters, who could have the heads preserved by a taxidermist. They could also have the meat processed and shipped home, or donated to animal orphanages.***


So, now we have a new tradition. Shooting animals over the net. Live animals. Because some redneck dickheads can not be bothered to get off their arse and go out and hunt for themselves. What's more, they are pointing out that this is a great idea for helping "disabled hunters". DEAR FUCKING GOD! Did I read that right? It's a good idea to allow remote murder because there are those who are disabled who want to hunt? Now, I am 100% certain that we are not talking about disabled people who want to take up hunting. No. We are talking about hunters who are now disabled.

"Oh geez, I really wish Billy-Bob hadn't shot me through the spine, making me a quadraplegic. OK, I was wearing my female billawoppalus camouflage suit at the time. But thank the Lord Almighty for technology, now I can be a hunter again. With just one twitch of my left eyelid, I can sportingly kill a deer from 1000 miles. I feel like a gentleman again." - Dwaine Johnson, Misouri.

"Man, I thought my life wuz over when I crashed me pickup after getting on the booze at the end of a productive day's shootin'. I lost both my legs and despite some scienteest fella saying that one day they'd build a wheelchair that can go cross country, I thought my huntin' days were over. But thanks to Worldwide Hunting Internet, I feel like a man again" - Jayce Armstrong, New Mexico.

What do we do? These idiots are the same ones who vote other idiots into power because of "values". What happened to the value of life itself? Why do we allow these idiots to kill for fun? Why is that not considered a sin? WHY IS THAT NOT ILLEGAL? There must be something we can do. Surely, we who are educated, we the scientists, the artists, the educators, the lawyers, the doctors, THE INTELLIGENT can do something to eradicate this stupidity from this world. Why do we sit back and suffer these fools? We can see the psychological shortcomings, we can counter their every argument, we can point to how things can be better with proof to back up our assertions. FOR FUCK'S SAKE, we know how to build nuclear weapons! These redneck, illiterate, ignorant, bigotted, hate-filled, gun-toting fuckwits are toting guns that we built for them. Why did we do that? What conscienceless fucktard was intelligent enough to design and build these weapons but so lacking in scruples that he gave them to those who only have enough intelligence to control one finger?

Oh, how it shits me. This destructive behaviour is so incomprehensible. The reason we can't do anything about it is that we would become like them. We would need to use hatred, destruction and murder to destroy hatred, destruction and murder. If there is a God, he is laughing about that one. The most beautiful paradox in His creation. To rid the world of evil, we would need to hate it and turn off our compassion and empathy for these clueless people. We would have to hunt them and kill them.

Perhaps we could do it over the internet?


*** Let's all put in to offer a reward to the first hacker who gets into this site and shoots the attendant. Who's in?
