He's probably a yooper, folks in the UP can tend to talk like that.

I'm with JJB11B on this one.

Don't we, as hunters and trappers, have a duty to dispatch the animals we hunt and trap as humanely and as quickly as possible? To me, anything beyond that smacks of animal cruelty and has nothing good to offer the hunting and trapping community.

More than than, it's a poor refection on the humans who actually play out their sadism behind the safety of their hounds and calibers. That video should be shown to Hunter Safety classes as an example of what never to do. I am not against someone shooting coyotes or wolves (when it's legal to do so), but vilifying the animals and subjecting them to torture? No. Like hunting dogs, they are doing what they do. It's up to us as humans to show we have more capacities.

The video reminds me of the time my wife and I attended a bull fight. At first, before it started, I couldn't believe that they would be killing the bulls. But after things got rolling, and I saw the degree of suffering the bulls were having to withstand for the sake of the participants and crowd, I just wanted to go into the ring with my .270 and put the bulls out of their misery.

There is unavoidable suffering that comes with hunting and trapping, but isn't it up to us to do everything we can to prevent the avoidable varieties such as we have witnessed on the video?
