YOU HAVE WEAKEN A COUNTRY TODAY  - By: horntagger

Message to the Anti – Hunting world, We live in a world that has woods, that you have made smaller because your homes now sit on where the woods use to. And those woods have to be hunted by men with guns & bows. Who's gonna do it? You? You, other anti’s out there? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom since you have removed all the predators to protect your families. You weep for deer and you curse the hunters. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That deers death, while tragic, probably saved your life on the drive home or on the drive to work. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives and suffering of both humans and wildlife.

You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me in those woods! You need me in those woods!

We use words like respect, and heritage...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent hunting and preserving wildlife and habitat. You use 'em as a punchline.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to individuals who rises and sleeps under the modern blanket of the very freedom that my ancestor pioneered this country, and provided for you, then questions the manner in which I keep that heritage and freedom alive. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up your gun and stand alone in the woods and never go to the grocery store again for meat. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're trying to point out on what I should wear or how I should act.

I kill deer. “PETA”, “HSUS”, “CASH”, “ALF”, “ELF” and you, are the weak link that makes this country strong. I kill deer, you hear me?

You have no idea how to keep a heritage alive and have no respect for the animals you use and hide behind to keep your salaries and your families feed, when my hard earned money for hunting license have saved more habitat for animals than you ever thought about helping.

All you did was weaken a country today, PETA, HSUS, ALF, ELF, CASH, and you. That's all you did. You put heritage of hunting and a Nation in danger. Sweet dreams, you are the true killers.

Keeping the heritage alive. Horntagger
