Preying on the predators

[Brian37]

Yes, because using a weapon of war capable of spraying while using scent to trick animals to come in to range takes so much more skill than a single shot 22 rifle.

Easy to play darts when you are two inches from the board.

But lets talk about switches and triggers shall we? 

Before you once again stupidly claim I am against hunting, let me state again, I AM NOT. But don't act like you need an AR15 or claim it is a sport.

Humans were hunting animal meat long before the first guns existed. Needing food 100,000 or 200,000 years ago existed, and yes, humans eat other animals like other mammals and fish. And they survived and thrived and still ate meat without weapons of war. 

Color me unimpressed. I eat beef, I eat pork, I have had deer, and dove and croc. But I don't feel the need to brag about fooling myself into thinking killing life that does not have an equal shot to defend itself is some thing to brag about. 

Life eats other life, yes. But humans are ourselves the most dangerous invasive species on the planet when it comes to valuing our own survival. How about you worry less about your ego, and weapons, and simply admit, hunting can be a cheaper way to find food without bragging about it?

A couple weeks ago you bragged about deer season opening.

So how exactly are the Coyotes wrong for wanting to find food themselves?

Neither the deer or the Coyote had access to an AR15.

Nor do you have access to a functional brain.......



Go write a bad poem....

Yes, because hunting never existed before firearms. OH WAIT!

Still not getting it.  Humans are the invasive species, the more we expand as a population, the more we conflict with other life, like coyotes and pumas and tigers and elephants. If one is concerned about not wanting other life to go extinct, then one cannot oversimplify the "us vs them" mentality and bullshit argument you tried to use here.

Of course if one is a farm owner, or if one lives near crocs, or elephants or hippos, or tigers, one is certainly going to want to protect themselves. But if you are not taking into account that humans are invading their homes, and we are destroying their homes, and coyotes are no different, then you have no concept of what conservation is.

No wolves, more coyotes. Gee, we didn't see that coming.

Kill off enough coyotes and then you’ll have some other livestock predator to contend with. Nature abhors a vacuum.

I think this right here is the point humans miss worldwide. We are not an apex, we are simply one species among countless. We are good at being humans, but not good at being other life.  Bacteria and viruses and cockroaches outnumber humans.
