so before you start spouting off about machoism, its not a randomly killing small animals for no reason. Its removing an agricultural pest, and it happens to be fun to do.
Machoism? I said sadism. There's a huge difference. Sadism involves feelings of pleasure that result from inflicting pain.

That you talk about killing things, and how it "happens to be fun to do"... that's sadism. It could be diagnosable, depending on the situation.
Yeah, I can sympathize with farmers who have pests in their fields. I get that they have to earn a living, and supply the world with many of its needs. I can understand that these animals might have to be killed... but seriously, it should be done in a humane fashion. If you find killing things fun, then you're sadistic, and probably have other sociopathic tendencies.

everybody knows you can't fap and shoot at the same time. Theres no way to steady the gun.

Stay out of ahhh, about 3/4 of the United States then, because hunting as a sport GASP! A SPORT! is embraced, actually ENCOURAGED by the govt.

Look out, the sociopaths are all around...

"Approximately 23 million people have hunted within the last five years. (Southwick Associates, 2003)."

BTW, I should remind you that most hunting involves shooting an animal, followed by some amount of time for it to bleed out and die before tracking it and harvesting it.

Popping a woodchuck with a piece of lead moving about 2800 feet per second... they don't feel that unless you have a bad shot. Any movement is usually just nerves.

Yeah, I'm on the fence with how I feel about hunting, too. I know it's not for me, but have not decided where I actually stand on the issue. I think you can argue that hunting is more about the hunt, perhaps camaraderie, and less about the actual joy of murdering an animal. And, of course, the animal is eaten.

Poppin' gophers with a huge rifle might be fine, but it's obvious that these people are having way more fun with it than what is considered 'normal'. That's why I made the sociopathic comment... people who kill/torture animals often grow up to be pretty effed up individuals.

I think the difference would be whether you make it personal. Shoot gophers all day and I'm cool with it. As soon as you start sneaking up on them with a knife.... I'm going home.

Seriously, WTF? Some weird sadistic tendencies here.
The last part about the animals exploding, I've seen the clip it's from. There was some sort of myth going around that people were hunting prairie dogs and the like with a .50 cal rifle. So in order to prove that the myth was NOT in fact a .50 cal, this group of people went hunting for prairie dogs with a .50 cal. Which is 100% legal where they were, if not completely impractical (.50 cal ammo is expensive).

I ******* hate woodchucks. I tore some ligaments bad in my ankle after falling into one of those holes. I have no mercy when I shoot those bastards, and there are so many of them!
