Wonder where she got the 1000 hunting accidents a year from?
This is the same author who seems to scorn wearing a bike helmet:
Attachment 138117
Hunting accidents probably comes from ACC data, probably sprained ankles etc rather than gunshot wounds.
I would hope so! Just had a wee look on the ACC data.govt site and I can't easily find any data for tramping or hunting related injuries. There was 9318 dancing related injuries in the 2018/2019 financial year, that's scarcely relevant though.
What a freakin’ retard!!
Bunny huggers gotta hug bunnies.
99.9% of hunting is walking/camping/foraging for firewood etc.
therefore what she is rambling on about is hiking not hunting.
You should invite them to the Easter Bunny hunt! Plenty to hug there and there easy to catch too:o:XD:Quote:

An article like this seems to appear around the start of the season every year.
She states "Unless there is a genuine and substantiated need for food, this argument is unconvincing. Most of us have ready access to food in the supermarket and don't depend on cruel, wasteful and indiscriminate wild harvest." and one has to wonder if she has seen how farmed supermarkert poutry is treated....At least in the wild every day is a good day except the last for the animal.

The cop there dosen't seem to notice it either.Quote:

You notice she continuously calls it duck shooting but Fish and Game along with numerous others have for awhile now tried to change the term to duck or better still, Game bird Hunting.
I've mooted this change of term for the last coupe of years and believe it's some thing we should embrace.
Go back and have another look at the photo, she is wearing a blue cycle helmet, if you can’t see it there go look at Wikipedia where the image comes fromQuote:

Bird season
Wing hunting season
Flighting season
Wing Harvesting

Yes she is. I stand corrected :X3: Well, I'm sitting at the moment but you get the gist.Quote:

Hi @Tertle, I will concede that yes she is wearing a helmet and thus obeying the lay in that respect. However, she is not wearing it correctly or in a manner that prevent injury if she was to come off. It is not illegal to wear a helmet incorrectly, in the same way it is not illegal to be a proper dumb arse.....Most impacts are onto the face / forehead as that bit is at the front and in the direction of travel this part is most likely to get walloped.Quote:

What an ignorant slag. Clearly the World Animal Protection New Zealand doesnt pride itself on factual information, but used "feel good" information instead.
This whole article can be torn to pieces in seconds, no real research has been done.
Straight out lies.Quote:
On average, around 1000 people a year are injured in hunting accidents, sometimes requiring search and rescue operations and hospitalisation of affected people.
Provides no evidence of this occurring.Quote:
Other birds can be killed accidentally as hunters fail to correctly identify their targets.
Straight out lies, I dont believe it does "encultures them to violent mistreatment and disregard for animals".Quote:
Often children accompany adults in hunts, which encultures them to violent mistreatment and disregard for animals - a practice in New Zealand that has raised concern around the world. Duck shooting and hunting are practices that are bad for birds, the environment, and society.
Duck shooting is not bad for the environment, in fact it protects it.
Duck shooting is not bad for society, it has little to no effect on it.
There is no proof of any of this.
Maybe the stupid woman doesnt eat anything, yet something has made her fucking arse that big. Doesnt every living thing have a genuine need for food?Quote:
Unless there is a genuine and substantiated need for food, this argument is unconvincing.
So she has finished being a career university student, and is now trying to be noticed by joining as many lefty/greeny groups as she can and making false articles. Another fucking narcissist, it wouldnt surprise me if she is mates with hera cook and the horse.
@timattalon lol, don’t mind me, being a bit precious, cranky only have wait one more week for surgery on back!
I went and read some of her other opinion pieces, emotive, bias and lacking in any substance, but that’s the inherent beauty of an opinion piece, opinion! And why would you ruin a good rant by including something as ludicrous as facts
I somewhat got the feeling she was appealing for recognition amongst her own peers, rather than someone putting forward a reasoned proposition for debate, almost as if waiving a flag babbling “look at me Hera, look at me”!
But, that’s just my opinion
@Tertle, all the best for the upcoming surgery. Did you manage to find enough reading material? Think you where interested in a geol textbook at one point?
Good lord yes, save me being a cranky prick at 137 am and reading the forum!!! How ironic I was up to 4am listening to podcasts about the Kensington stone and a geologists interpretation to age of the stone........I’ve also got Larry hancocks “someone would have talked” but I’ve had an idea I should use my super powers of cranky and write to the author of that opinion piece and correct her assumptions and offer a counter narrative!Quote:
