PETA Nancies Outraged Over Videos of Deer Being "Tortured" in Pennsylvania

Since when is it ok to torture a living animal?
That's a federal crime now.

should it be though ?

The Holy Bible says man is to have dominion over all the lesser beings (animals) on the Earth.

It also says in the book of Matthew "Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

that passage is about other humans, not animals

Animals are not brethren, idiot.

Dude, it doesn’t take a genius to know not to torture animals. Fucking psychos. Mommy and Daddy didn’t hug you enough so let’s torture animals. Losers gonna do what they do. Lose.

people often intentionally misquote the Bible, to support their agenda

The main problem I see here is hunting regulations may have been violated, but that is all

Ripping the antlers off of live deer isn't something I would do myself, but I hardly see it as being some sort of felony

These two young men are going to have their lives ruined, over some animal, and that's sick and morally wrong

How in the hell is this the "pussification" of America?? What kind of sociopath thinks it's acceptable to torture an animal, especially one that is already injured and suffering?? Anyone who thinks this is ok has some serious mental problems and needs to be kept away from polite society.

you think these two young men should have their lives ruined for kicking a deer in the head ?

How did the cavemen kill food animals before they invented spears and altatls and such ? I would imagine with a big rock to the head.

This is why back in the day when everyone had valor, we hung boys too

Because we knew they weren't boys any more, and they decided which kind of man they were gonna be themselves

I live not to far from there. It happened on the first day of rifle season and people around here are pissed. I dont hunt anymore, f#*/ the PA Game Commision, but these punks aren't hunters. I can't wait to hear about them getting knocked the f@>$ out

Kick to the head or any place else, no!
Shot to the head, or through the lungs or heart, yes.

You put it out of misery, not add to misery.

The young men certainly deserve to be taught a lesson.

so you want young men to be physically assaulted over a deer ?

Yes, perhaps a fine for violating hunting regulations -- but no jail time or physical punishment

No, I want them to be physically assaulted over their actions and bad decisions, which are disgusting. Inflicting unnecessary pain and suffering is sick and wrong, and if you honestly believe "well, it's OK because it's only a deer" then you are probably just as bad, though I suspect that you are simply a troll that likes getting a reaction out of people.

And many serial killers started on animals, which allows us to use that as a weather vane for future propensities.

I grew up on a big horse and cattle farm in the heart of deer hunting country. Definitely a meat eater, gun enthusiast, outdoorsman and hunter

Those two clowns should be beaten to with in an inch of their lives, stripped of their second amendment rights, and committed to a psychiatric facility for a very long time. Anyone who tortures any living creature really should just be exterminated immediately

This is very local for me. In fact, that is the nearest town to where I am hunting right now.

Hunters aren't none too happy about this, it's giving them a bad name. These two shit heads will most certainly be made an example of, and rightfully so. No need to do what they did.

However, with that being said, the threats to their family and the families business are uncalled for. This is a very small town and apparently one of these kids step dads is the police chief. These two were adults 17 or 18 years old. It's not like they were 12 years old and needed to be under supervision from their parents. These two did what they did all on their own and that's that.

wow ... just ... wow

You're a retard. With the Bible as the manual for practice then you'd probably be executed too.

can someone post a description of what the video shows?

This is more fodder for the eventual outlawing of hunting.

Maybe they should not have videotaped themselves doing this to upload to social media. I'm for hunting for food, but this goes beyond that. They are getting a good old fashioned dose of karma.

Apparently they wounded a deer (or found a wounded deer) and the dumbasses claimed they didn't have any more ammo with them, or even a knife, so they proceed to kick the deer in the head and eventually rip its antlers off.

They claim they had no other option, but I call bullshit. No one goes hunting without extra ammo, and at the minimum a knife. How did they intend to gut a deer to begin with?

Their whole story is just them trying to get out of trouble, now that they have the entire county pissed off.

The part that makes me know these two are pieces of shit is they were laughing the entire video.


I don't normally get involved with shit like this, but this goes far beyond normal behavior. These two need to be punished for this.

Just a couple kids high on adrenaline, I bet 99% of you have done dumber stuff

Seeing as most animals have the same and similar emotional range as humans, yes, many animals are on a similar level as humans. Should animals be treated with love and respect for the most part? Yes, very much so! When an animal, especially a prey animal, is disabled is not alright to torture the animal. There are two correct ways to go about dealing with a disabled animal. One way is to go totally out of your way to comfort him or her and spend countless amount of hours and money on materials to enable their lives again. The other way is the much more "cruel", but sensible option. This other way is simply mercy killing the disabled animal. A mercy kill is when you efficiently kill the animal as to minimize their physical pain and the animal dies quickly as well.

Now what happened in the OP's link's video is not a mercy kill whatsoever. I was able to determine this despite the full screen blurring of the video by CBS. However, I do not know if the buck in question was infected with that zombie deer prion disease. If so, the stupid people who were involved should be dealt with extremely harshly by the CDC via highest quarantine procedures. From what was clearly shown despite the full screen fuzzing the buck in question most likely got dealt with a "deathblow" by another buck sometime recently. This buck is disabled enough to be easily picked off by a pack of wolves and/or other strong predatory animals. This would mean and show the brutality of Nature. Nature isn't all beauty, after all. The other half of Nature is horrifying compared to it's beautiful side.

So yes, overall there is definitely cause for alarm for wanton abuse of this dying buck. It wouldn't of been bad if these stupid people had killed the buck via mercy kill and taken it's corpse for meat at least. What a tragedy this story is.

It is also not that difficult to break most animals' necks when they're this badly disabled as well.

As much as I abhor things like this being used against hunters - of whom I am one - I must agree with you.
No one goes hunting without a knife.
And if they recorded themselves doing this and are laughing about it - yes, they should be punished.

Bullshit.
One year in jail, 10,000 fine, and criminal record for life for animal cruelty.

If you can’t identify sociopathy when you see it, leave it to the grown ups to fix it.

We don’t need humans that do this.

Step dad is police chief!

Well that explains a lot!

Didn't think they could get in trouble and if they did Daddy will take care of it.

Those dumb asses deserve to be locked up with deer hunters for an hour.

I’m saving my strength until I meet you.
