Idiots!

Flying Camera From Animal Rights Group Shot Down at Pigeon Shoot
SHARK claimed "a single sharp rifle crack rang out," in a press release sent out on Monday. The group says the camera's video feed was terminated and the drone went out of control before it was manually brought down. The gunshot caused around $4,000 in damage to the camera, according to SHARK.

State Police are investigating the incident. SHARK claims this is the fourth time the drone has been shot at while trying to spy on what they claim are inhumane pigeon shoots.

"When they do this, it only makes us more determined," said Hindi. "We are going to see these pigeon shoots stopped."

These people would ban ant spray if they had the chance, it's all about emotion.
Personally I love the wild pigeon and dove, two of my favorite birds, both are extremely clean and quiet in the wild.

But we are top of the food chain and as long as these birds are eaten and not wasted, I say have at it.

Hunting is a great way to participate in sustainable recreation. Wildlife biologists help set the number of licenses and tags available to hunters, depending on the size and health of wildlife populations.

By taking elk, deer and other game, hunters maintain sustainable populations so there's a good balance between the number of animals and available forage.

What these morons don't realize, is that hunters, for the most part, play an active role in mainaining healthy animal populations.
In areas where the animal rights freaks have won, animal populations surge, and they die from disease and starvation.

But disease and starvation are natural. Besides instead of a clean shot from a hunter, it's much better that the animal slowly start to death/sarc!

I'm not sure if it's emotion or if they're just looney. I've a colleague who when there was a cockroach in the office he captured it, took it outside and released it.  If I had known he was going to do that, I'd have swooped in and crushed it in one go before he even noticed. Who'd release a freaking cockroach when they see one?????

Nice shot!
