One of "our" turkeys showed up today with an arrow sticking out of its side. Fuck! Because of the angle, this poor bird can't even lie down. Turkeys are among the dumbest creatures on god's green earth. If you feel like you just have to go out killing things and you just wound one, then for god's sake track it down and finish the job. How hard can that be? It's got a big freakin' arrow sticking out of its side.
Apparently there's a big rise in hunting just now because men who have lost their jobs need some other way to pump up their tiny peckers to show how manly they still are. And I ain't buyin' that "gotta put food on my table" crap. Hunting in America is a money-losing proposition. Always. Between the equipment and the special clothing and the licenses and all the hours a hunter puts in when they could be mowing my lawn for $20/hr, there's no freakin' way it saves their family money. Absolutely none. Whatever bullsh*t reason a hunter in a modern society may give for doing what they do, it's just a rationalization for "It gives me pleasure to kill things."
Oh yeah, and the turkey chicks are just hatching now. If you kill their mom, you've killed the whole family. Congratulations, big man.
