I got a ban from a group because there was a lot of horse posting. I basically commented that “hey there’s a lot of evidence that horse riding causes permanent injuries”, and “who here can actually afford this posh hobby”. The admins were rich as fuck. Somehow rich people tend to have more time to do this shit. Anyhow, they said that I was being personally insulting because “posh hobby”.
I was also kicked from a sub for reporting obvious Islamophobia. Fuck that place.
I got a two week ban from Facebook for anti-white racism. And I’m officially the whitest person on Hexbear.
Maybe I’m a lib or too damn civil, but I haven’t yet been kicked from a site yet
I said on twitter that we should legalise hunting hunters to regulate their population.

7 years here. When do I get the title of ‘Most Holy’?
Depends on how long your force-feed your cat lentils.
Aren’t you a little old to still be breastfeeding?
Harm reduction. For several species we have disrupted the ecosystem enough that populations do need to be managed. In those cases it is efficient to have someone who wants to act as it’s predator act as it’s predator.
Hunting is just one of those distraction issues. No one in the developed world is gonna replace a significant amount of their calories by hunting, because it’s far too expensive and difficult. Not to mention that there just isn’t enough huntable food to replace even a faction of 1% of the world’s meat consumption.
Every hunter guy I know talks a good story about how he (and it’s always a he) filled up his freezer this one time with deer meat. But 99% of his meat is store bought, and he doesn’t give a fuck that the hamburger he’s now eating came from a slaughterhouse.
There’s no ethical guy* that eats all his meat from hunting.
*Obviously I’m excluding indigenous people and people from the Global South.

You’re eating processed fossil fuel dairy treats.
This thread is a good example of why I can’t take vegetarians seriously, my person is really out here being a pick me for carnists and bashing vegans 🙄
Absolutely avoids my arguments that NO ONE* gets all their meat or even most of their meat from hunting. Ignores my arguments that it will never come close to feeding humanity. Ignores my argument that hunters don’t give a fuck about eating slaughterhouse meat.
Fucking leave hunting to the wolves, which btw are also being killed by animal agriculture.

Every time an emoji loads for me there is like a 3 second delay, so I was just looking in suspense to see which ppb variety was posted
As somebody who grew up in the middle of nowhere and still lives there, there is nothing about living in the woods that makes the ethics any different. If it’s about saving money then do as my friends and family have always done and use all that rural land to grow fresh vegetables. We have a whole lot more dirt to do it on, and it’s much cheaper than buying all that hunting gear. Rural people can love animals and not make excuses for their murder, and the same arguments are convincing whether you live in a high rise or a trailer. This cItY SliCkErS just don’t get it! bit is too cringe
In my country, people are regularly shot and killed by hunters. And not just people walking in the woods, kids get shot while playing in their own backyard sometimes. And for some reason they seem to have some kind of immunity because they never land in prison, worse they get is having their license removed.
If we can’t do without hunting, then it should be done by professionals working for the state, not by randoms with a gun that applied for a license.
