John Kerry participates in hunting photo-ops and claims he supports our hunting heritage. But his voting record in support of radical anti-hunting animal rights groups tells a different story.

FACT – In 2003, based on the votes and co-sponsorship of legislation, Senator Kerry voted the preferred position of the Fund for Animals 100% of the time. (Source: http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rat...id=S0421103#Animal+Rights+and+Wildlife+Issues)

•The Fund for Animals is a radical anti-hunting group. According to their Fact Sheet “What's Wrong With Hunting” they say that, “Hunters, however, disrupt this natural system, removing the strongest and healthiest animals from the population and leaving animals who would normally not have reproductive success to pass on their genes. “ (Source: http://fund.org/uploads/fs_hunt2.pdf )

FACT – In 2003, based on the votes and co-sponsorship of legislation, Senator Kerry voted the preferred position of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) 100% of the time. (Source: http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rat...id=S0421103#Animal+Rights+and+Wildlife+Issues)

•The HSUS web site states, “The HSUS strongly opposes the recreational hunting and killing of wild animals, as the sport is fundamentally at odds with the values of a humane, just, and caring society.” (Source: http://www.hsus.org/ace/457?pagenum=2&string=Hunting and HSUS&key=owdppgopidzobzjouvyh)

FACT – In 2003, based on the votes and co-sponsorship of legislation, Senator Kerry voted the preferred position of the American Humane Association 100% of the time. ( Source: http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rat...id=S0421103#Animal+Rights+and+Wildlife+Issues)

•The American Humane Association opposes the hunting of any living creature for fun, trophy, or for simple sport. American Humane believes that sport hunting is a form of exploitation of animals for the entertainment of the hunter and is contrary to the values of compassion and respect for all life that inform American Humane's mission.

FACT – In 2003, based on the votes and co-sponsorship of legislation, Senator Kerry voted the preferred position of the Animal Protection Institute 100% of the time. (Source: http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rat...id=S0421103#Animal+Rights+and+Wildlife+Issues)

•The Animal Protection Institutes states that “…since hunting involves deliberate death, no mutual consent, and no outside judges, hunting can never be considered a ‘sport.’” (Source: http://www.api4animals.org/70.htm)

FACT – In 2003, based on the votes and co-sponsorship of legislation, Senator Kerry voted the preferred position of the Society for Animal Protective Legislation 100% of the time. (Source: http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rat...id=S0421103#Animal+Rights+and+Wildlife+Issues)

•The Society for Animal Protective Legislation – a division of the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI), lobbied against allowing dove hunting in Michigan, and in favor of anti-bear hunting legislation.

Don’t be fooled by a liberal politician wearing blaze orange for camouflage.

Defend Freedom – Defeat Kerry.

I have uploaded a flyer with the above information. Please feel free to download and distribute it to your hunter friends. We need to spread the word.
 
Good information.
Sad, though, that it takes how he votes on critters to make some of these Thutty-thutty and Shotgun types realize he's not on the side of anyone who enjoys freedom.

Note: I don't mean to suggest that everyone who owns a shotgun or .30-30 falls into these categories, but too many are content with their hunt'n guns and don't give a durn about any evil handguns or "assault weapons" or short shotguns or full autos or sound suppressors or anything else that doesn't have a "sporting purpose" - according to their definition.
 
Well, I may be in the minority here, but I'm against sport and trophy hunting. I am NOT however, against hunting. I have hunted since I was a child. I'm also very pro gun. I try to live by a strong moral code, part of that code is not to harm or kill any living thing without a good reason. Food is a good reason. Self defence (or the defence of others) is a good reason. A trophy on my wall is not a good reason.

The arguement against hunting for meat is foolish. People against hunting for food seem to be mostly morally motivated, but seem unable to see past "He killed Bambi!" It is a point of pride among all the hunters I've met to make clean, humane kills. The same isn't always true of the deaths of the cows we all consume in the form of meat from the supermarket. Also, from an animal rights perspective, the animals hunted for meat live a much better life than the cattle or chickens we eat.

Contrary to what many people think, I know many hunters who are very much for animal rights, some of them could even be considered animal rights activists. Among many of these hunters, trophy hunting is frowned on (I don't mean shooting a dear, eating the meat and mounting the head or rack, thats meat hunting). It just seems pointless to me.

I'm not a Kerry supporter, a Democrat, a hippie, or a follower of the left wing rubbish I read every day. As far as I'm concerned, Kerry is a tool (a disturbing trend on both sides of the political fence these days), and in no way am I defending him, only making a point. Almost all of those quotes dealt with trophy, sport, or "recreational" hunting, and I'm just attempting to show that a person can be pro hunting, but anti sport hunting. Opposing opinions are always welcome, but please respect mine as I respect yours.

This attitude is all too rare among hunters. Many give it lip service, but will then take near-impossible shots at running animals; often wounding or crippling them.

I've seen this argument from animal rights people too. I like to counter with, "Isn't it better to kill the ones who are suffering in factory farms and put them out of their misery, than to kill the ones who are living a better life?"

Stumps 'em every time...

To me, hunting is a litmus test that parallels the basic RKBA litmus test. The Federal .gov has no business sticking its nose into hunting. It is a state issue. The fact that Kerry even participates in these votes is a strike against him. The fact that he regularly sides with radical animal rights groups is strike two.

His hairdo is strike three. ;)

Almost all hunters in America who follow the laws pertaining to taking of game are "recreational" hunters in that they do it for recreation as opposed to survival.
 
Good point, I have no way of knowing if many of these people actually put thier money where their mouth is, or if principal takes a back seat in the heat of the moment. I can only speak for myself and the 2 other people I've hunted with.

As for the second point, many people base their anti hunting views on emotion, without really thinking ahead. The simple counter is that if people stopped buying so much of this meat fewer factory farms would be needed to supply the consumer, thus fewer animals would be suffering.

In regards to the gov. butting in, for the most part I agree (except in extreme cases like canned hunts). The line between "Sport" hunting, and hunting for food is a very fine one, laws against one will interfere with the other.

And I agree, Kerry needs to fire his stylist. ;)

Edit: Sorry for getting this thread somewhat off topic, I was attempting to make a point that didn't have much to do with the original post.

I lived in MA from 1984-1987. I moved back in 1991 and have lived there since.

Anyone who says Kerry is pro-gun or pro-hunting is either a liar or a fool.
 
I never really understood the hunting for sport aspect either. How sporting is it when the animal can't fight back? I can see how hunting rhino or bear or lion or elephant can be considered sporting. Because you face the possibility that you could be maimed/killed. Deer and moose just don't have a sporting chance, unless you strap a heat-sensing turret on them with a couple .30cal MGs. Then it might be different. :D

Hunting for pest control or putting food on the table is different.

Kerry is a scumbag for even suggesting the 2A is only about hunting. :barf:
The guy and his circle of friends (schumer, lautenberg, kennedy, feinswine) are poster children for civilian ownership of .50 BMG rifles and grenade launchers.
 
I doubt he's fooling many. Damn politics, ever since I was old enough to be interested in these guys, it's always come down to choosing the lesser of the two evils.
 
Quote Anyone who says Kerry is pro-gun or pro-hunting is either a liar or a fool. End Quote.

That's the Problem Kerry Himself SAYS he is a hunter and is pro hunting and progun. He is a Liar and a FOOL, But above all a hypocritical Liar. :barf:
