Fun talk:Hunting
Sorry, but I can't see that taking life, any kind of life, intentionally, without the necessity of providing sustenance, is in any way amusing. (yes I do eat meat - to keep myself alive in reasonable health as an omnivorous animal) Susanpurrrrr 16:52, 4 March 2008 (EST)

- I think this might need to be moved to "fun". Definitely worth saving, though. Also, I think hunting is only a "sport" if the human combatant is dropped in the woods naked. Or arm the deer (elk, wabbits, whatever) Make it a fair fight, like World Extreme Cagefighting. And Susan, most, if not all, hunters use their prey for food. human

- When I say "most", I don't consider the likes of Dick Cheney a "hunter". human

- Aww, c'mon ;) 'Fun' is where articles go to die. And yes, hunters do hunt to put meat in the freezer. Secret Squirrel 18:18, 4 March 2008 (EST)
- Or the corn popper ;) Fun is where articles that would fail a "mission" challenge but are amusing or worthwhile in some way go to survive. human

- And if they are good enough, they get tagged "best of amusement" and can get randomly linked from the front page. So there. :P human

[edit] Snakes
There used to be a guy at LSU who lurked behind the biology building and would pay kids 12 and under to catch live Cottonmouths for him. We don't know why, he disappeared a few years later. For those who don't live in SE US, Cottonmouths are a moderately aggressive pit viper. Tyrannis (talk) 14:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Drive By from a BoN
Aren't these pages overly political? I first came across this site for articles about evolution/conservapedia's dishonesty with regards to the long term evolution experiment, etc. - you know, stuff founded on science, logic, rational stuff. Then I start browsing the rest of the site, particularly topics like this to see how "rational" the rest of the site is, and I find it littered with ad hominem attacks. I don't see how allegations that gun owners own guns so they can feel like they have a large cock is a rational argument, or a rational description of the issue. I'm with "you" on evolution, global warming, republicans/teapartiers in general... but the pages on the subject of guns are over the top.
I don't think hunting is much of a "sport". I don't think killing animals for fun is right. Although I don't look too badly upon killing animals when the primary purpose is for food. FYI - I don't hunt, but I do own guns. I also have a Masters degree in molecular biology, and I live in Switzerland. Please don't insult all gun owners simply because ignorant people in the US own a lot of guns. ____________________________________ — Unsigned, by: 192.33.214.33 / talk / contribs

[edit] Non-funspace article
Since it is a contemporary environmental issue with different ramifications in different parts of the world and according to different paradigms (e.g. bushmeat versus trophy hunting etc.) I feel like this also deserves a non-funspace treatment here. Frostbyte (talk) 22:50, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
