Shoot the Donkeys?

Other ppl!

you want to kill ppl?

Yeah, it was invented by liberal atheists - it's called eugenics, it is one way that you libs use to justify murdering babies (too many people); and atheism is also the driving force behind the slaughter of millions of human beings in Russia, China, Uganda, and Germany in a little thing that you atheists invented called Genocide.

people are not zygotes, jesus christ. worry about ppl that actually exist. atheism had NOTHING to do with slaughtering anyone, and the nazis were christian. hiter said he was doing god's work and they had belt buckles that said "god's with us".

being atheist just means you dont believe in gods, when you are christian that is a big part of your life and you make decisions based on it. the russians didnt believe in ANY fairy tales, why pick on atheism?

That's exactly what you libs do. Except instead of shooting, you burn and rip to pieces babies in the mother's womb and call abortion humane. Then you whine and bitch about some donkeys being shot. Libs are stupid. Atheists are more stupid. Besides, since you are an atheist, where do you get off calling anything right or wrong? What do you base that on? Your values or something more substantial?

is not a baby. liberals are and atheists are proven to be smarter, google it. what part of atheism is stupid, the not believing a sky daddy? i get right and wrong from using this thing called a brain and make a decision. all you are going to say is "YOU HAVE NO ABSOLUTES, how do you know killing is bad?!" we are a communal species and have sympathy for one another, that is why most ppl do not murder....you saying you want a god to decide if it's wrong will not make it true. even if your sky daddy existed, who says what it thinks matters?

Don't shoot the "wild donkeys" - -sell them at auction and make some money for the Parks Department. By the way, somebody tried to "shoot the lead donkey" the other day, but he got caught! Too bad - - -

What purpose other than stupidity would anyone with hoofed collateral destroy an animal when they could be sold to a minority that use the beast of burden in their daily lives, or better still gifted to a third world country as an act of faith and goodwill.

Are you gonna pay to ship them to some "third world country" as an act of faith and goodwill? Or was that another part of the obummer's Economic Recovery Plan that no one got to read before it was signed into law - shipping donkeys to 3rd world countries? It's probably on page 35,789 of the Stimulus bill.

There's always one... isn't there... listen Sparky you 're going on about something I don't subscribe to... I'm not american...

you go have some 'gun fun' shoot them I really don't care either way... i gave an OPINION, y'know a thought based on personal experience and ethics...

have a nice day....

If it's good enough for the deer, it's good enough for the donkeys. Starvation is a worse death. Would be good if they could at least put the meat to use.

This is so transparent and lame Fef.

Sell them to people who have a use for them?

Sounds like it might be a more palatable video game than shooting hordes of zombies.

An add-on for Deer Hunter, only available in Texas ;)

LOL

Nature has a way of sorting these things out.

But we are creatures of nature and thus, everything we do is natural yes?

I went to pull the trigger, but sneezed at the same time and shot my big toe off.

HELL NO TO KILLING ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you wearing a leather belt in that picture? If so, did you take off a live cow?

no it's no leather, probably plastic.

You would think they could be relocated?

With what money? Government spent all the money. Now they have to consider costs. Think of this as a foreshadow of Obamacare death panels.

That is a sad state of affairs to think of a precursor yo obamacare....

If this is a problem localised to one state, shouldn't it be dealt with on a state level?

Same thing happens to the white-tail deer. The herds are thinned before lack of food in the winter does it. Sad but true.

The Mexicans across the border would be happy to come and get them!!

This also help reduce the food for coyotes, another source of trouble for ranchers.

While not as destructive as feral hogs ( give them one night, and your crop looks like a OWS encampment) The donkeys- just like horses eat the vegetation to the ground, which hinders keeping topsoil, which is very thin in the Big Bend area from blowing away, which causes even more issues due to the erosion.

Using them as pack animals is of limited use due to their being wild and the time it takes to break them into the role, especially considering they are already stubborn animals. Also, there are not that large of a need for pack animals, and are skittish, which makes them a hazard if there are children or people not used to dealing with them around

Donkeys? Really? What Jack Ass decided it was a good idea to shoot Donkeys?

A democrat in the Department of the Interior!! LOL

ROUND THEM UP, LET PEOPLE ADOPT/BUY THEM.... PACKERS CAN USE THEM IN THE SIERRAS. ...AND HOW MANY HUNDREDS EXACTLY ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?

That is my thought as well...

We might need them someday...

shooting the donkeys helps preserve them. Too many donkeys means they will over eat and the entire population will suffer. Killing a few keeps the numbers in check and increases the overall survival rate. This sounds strange, but it happens in nature all the time.

Fef:
find another civilized way to preserve them,this killing mentality never produce a result .
In australia for example,they killed so many eagles-voltures-owls as a sport to the point where rabbits overpopulated and started taking over lands making tramendous damage to the crops and vegetable .
the nature has a balance system of itself , the eagles-voltures and (like) eat rabbit!!!if you kill eagles ,rabbits will increase .
donkeys eat grass and can be eaten as a meal by other wild animals ,their waste is a fertiliser and responsible for having some type of insects.
get rid of them ,the balance of the nature will be disrupted ...

I understand the dynamics of population control with animals in the wild, but these donkeys could be gathered up and given away to poor south American peole who could put them to use. Or for that matter, may eat them.
I think the same thing is true about all of the wild horses that are running loose in the mountains that are herded and then shot!

There's another way, there always is. Seems like I heard a story about wild horses being used a beasts of burden in the middle east, for the military.

Or something. I don't like animals being wasted for no reason. Especially mellow ol' Jackasses.
