LOLOL

Animal rights group sends a drone up to spy on hicks hunting pigeons(which is illegal??) -- & then the hicks get mad & shoot it down.

[terminaldave]

 when it all goes down, pigeons will be THE sought after chicken substitute....

 mostly because the rednecks will have a hard time catchin' deer without donut bait.....

[Master-Debater131]

Hunting pigeons is illegal?


This should be a lesson to pretty much everyone. Dont fly something over a part of the US with a whole ton of guns. Itll get shot down.


I can see it already
10 points for a bird
50 points for Environmental Drone
500 points for a Predator Drone

Dove hunting isn't illegal, it's quite common in the South--up to 40 million (out of 400 million to half a billion total in the U.S.) are taken per year.

It's not illegal to hunt Dove, but what they're doing is illegal in some states. I forget what it is called like a trapped hunt or closed hunt or some bull ####. Anyway, it is quite cruel because they don't take any meat and they just treat the birds as some convenient living target to shoot at for fun.

[the_shotgun_rhetoric]

Possibly, the article isn't clear as to whether it was a closed hunt or not.

Still hilarious that the animal rights people got pwned for antagonizing them. Sanctimonious pr!cks.

I wonder what type of shot brought it down? I'll have to get some for my Mossberg just in case...

[the_shotgun_rhetoric]

This is pretty good.

I've been varmit hunting, boar hunting, & deer hunting but I've never been dove/pigeon hunting. Wonder why these nutters were getting all mad. If its not illegal what were they tryin to accomplish?

You know I'm a strong supporter of animal rights up to the point I think animals should be killed in a humane way or w/e. As in fast & with no pain & animals should be treated humanely before they're killed for food. I also don't have a problem with sport-hunting so long as the state wildlife authorities say its legal & ok but this is probably them over-reacting.

BTW -- how do you have a 'closed hunt' with birds? I can understand with boars or deer as they can't get thru fences or w/e but birds?

[KnightStar]

In this case I don't blame them for shooting it down, it's not against the law to hunt pigeons.
Stupid that animal rights groups even having some sort of "spy drone" in the first place!

[natator]

"We are already making plans for a considerably upscaled action in 2013."

Was that all they had planned for the year?

[Satoh]

As a New Yorker I fully support these redneck's right to pointlessly kill pigeons.


Fukken flying rat sh!t factories!

[fugglesss]

especially since here in sc there really are too many pigeons.

when i was a kid, it was fun to go to the battery and feed the pigeons.. but these days when i try to do so with my daughter, its kind of frightening because about a 100 pigeons swope down and surround us. its a little overwhelming.

we need to declare open season on them because their population is becoming too large

[Satoh]

Their sh!t has over 16,000 parasites, and they sh!t whenever they take off. They're filthy animals and they breed incessantly. They have surprisingly long lifespans living upwards of 30 years and apparently staying reproductively active to the end. If you deliberately kill a million of them that's merely a drop in the bucket to their overall population.

[TheGreatUrameshi13]

Why does anyone give a f*ck about flying rats, anyway?

[Zaphod_209]

I think one really important question to ask is:  Did all of this happen on private property?

If so, it brings up some interesting 4th ammendment issues.

Also, if South Carolina is a state that has a "stand your ground law" the landownder would have been well within his right to shoot down the drone if he though it was a threat.

[Pero8P]

Awesome. Just awesome. I think i'll try and sell a replacement to them. then sell some anti drone estes to the rednecks.

Starting an arms race? I like the way you think.

It's funny you could say the same things about humans.  You should see how much sh!t comes out when I take off.

[Zaphod_209]

I just had an idea.

We should organize a hunting outing for European Starlings.
