Such a beautiful animal... let's kill it!
9 years ago
Call me one of the out of touch elitists, simmering in a hot bed of bleeding heart liberalism...
But I just don't get it.
I was browsing the gallery of
AndamanSea
Full of "beautiful" wolves, either trapped and freshly killed and bloody, or staring at the camera, waiting to be killed.
I suspect these... lovely pictures are not consistent with the photography AUP, which allows taxidermy as long as the finished product is displayed... not the raw, bloody kills being featured. But what do I know. The AUP and I never got along. Apparently I should display road kill if I want to keep my pictures from being deleted.
So...
I'm not in a bubble. I know enough rednecks to know that they just love their animals... especially with mash potatoes and gravy.
They love nothing better than to hunt all these "beautiful" animals. They can't wait for hunting season to come.
Lots of explanations about how all these animals are overrunning everything and need to be "culled" periodically.
I don't disagree with that. I suppose it is a necessary evil, er, service to thin the population and make more room for... us.
But I just don't get how people can admire these beautiful animals and talk about being one with nature blah, blah, blah and then trap them and kill them. It's a bridge I cannot quite cross. Oh, sure, there are animals I would like to see dead... mostly cats. Yes, and the pigeons that poop on my car. And the dogs that use my prized rose bushes for their personal toilet. Or even the skunk that digs up my lawn for grubs. Yes, I wish they were all dead... or at least gone.
Did I have a point?
Um... I get that there a valid reasons to kill animals, and I acknowledge that there is even valid reason to display such pictures to raise consciousness about what goes on in the world. But it creeps me out that people praise the beauty of these animals and then trap them and kill them and put them on display. Now that I think about it, that sounds like the plot of some stories here on FA.
Nevermind. Forget I said anything. I'm out of touch, you see.
Love, -D.

Stupid stupid stupid!
