First off, I do appreciate the fact that it says "deer hunter's" in the title. I could point out that the use of the apostrophe is not proper grammar, as with many of Flench's other improper uses of apostrophes in this thread, but I'll just leave that be. However there are often many threads here that simply state something like "Hey look at this!" and upon clicking on it you see a dead bloody corpse.
Secondly, I doubt many people aside from hunting or gun enthusiasts would even know what the "270" in the title is even referring to so that isn't even a valid point.
Thirdly, NO WHERE in the thread title does it state "Gun" or "Rifle" or anything else of the sort.
Now I'm not one of those people that are against hunting, or eating meat, or anything like that. I too enjoy a good steak, a bacon cheeseburger, and even have had (and enjoy) venison from time to time in the past. If you like to hunt then by all means, go and do so. My issue is with posting these pictures on boards that have nothing to do with hunting.
Personally, I am not impressed with these kinds of pictures. Perhaps if the animal was cleaned up I wouldn't have such a problem with it, but really.. posting pictures with guts almost hanging out and puddles of blood everywhere? How is that even the slightest bit... impressive? Does it make it look more dramatic? I once had an old pickup when a 'hitch shelf' with two deer on it that were just bleeding profusely. There was a light mist on the road and that bloody water kept getting sprayed up on my windshield. Absolutely disgusting.
My point in bringing up a dog was not to endorse shooting or hunting dogs.. not at all. I was just pointing out that if you were to post a bloody corpse of a deer, and then someone else were to post a bloody corpse of a dog... well which one do YOU think would get deleted? And just why is that? Because we don't eat dogs? But they are both still bloody corpses, right? You wouldn't want to see a dead and bloody dog on here, so why would *I* want to see a dead deer?
It really surprises me that more people don't speak out about pictures like this. I guess in their mind it's all OK because we eat deer. It's 'accepted' because hunting is a big industry in this country and a big hobby for a lot of people. Well whatever.. I just personally don't care to see these pictures and I personally don't understand the need to SHARE these pictures. I also have a strong feeling there are many others out there that think the same thing, but don't have the gonads to say anything about it.
If pictures of fat women can be banned for being "Generally Offensive" then I don't see why this should get a pass...
Typical liberal thought process. "If I don't like it, neither should you, and I'm going to do everything I can to make you stop rather than have to accept something I don't agree with."
