"Based on the mass amounts of vitriolic messages I've received in the past 24 hours, I feel like I'm alone in the notion that I don't think it's fun to shoot animals in the face. Either that or every junior-high-school-educated-gun-toting-inbred beer belly in the United States took time out of their day to send me hate mail." |

People paying to kill those animals is the only reason there's any "conservation" over there. Otherwise the natives would just destroy everything on that continent like they've already tried to do.

Commented By wganz on that FB page:
And how do you dumbshits think that they get the money to manage those herds? It isn't from you sending thousands of dollars over there. It is from people that pay for managed hunts that take select excess population out to balance the herd/pride/pack/whatever. You claim to 'Love the Earth' and want to 'Save the Planet' but you know so little about how it works. View Quote |

A different look on hunting
Funds paid for hunting licenses is a big factor in funding local DNR units they can help stop poaching and preserving wildlife areas Suck it, antihunters |

He lost my clicks. Typical tard.
From the guy that advocating punching dolphins.... OH WHO WILL THINK OF THE DOLPHINS!!! Fuck him. |

It's a cull of livestock, the farm raised male lions are worth 22k$ to shoot.

He's entitled to his opinion. Certainly nobody should be threatening him for it. He's quite funny about a lot of things. Hopefully he gets an education about hunting and conservation, and the negative messages don't turn him off. I fear the latter will happen.

What bothers me about all these assholes is they get all righteously indignant on the internet, yet not a one of them has ever donated a dime to animal conservation in Africa, none of them has stepped foot in Africa to spend a dime in their local economies, and they have never stepped a foot in Africa to see any of these wonderful animals they are suddenly so concerned with. Fuck them all, just a bunch of fake internet activists who sit on Facebook all day.

whatever, I think his comics are funny. View Quote I like his sense of humor and personally I think hunting is great if you're going to eat or use what you shoot.

I don't mind differing opinions as long as there is an open mind, but he said he wasn't interested in listening to talk about conservation or basically any facts, he just wants to be agreed with. Anyone with different ideas is instantly insulted.
Per the usual game plan, tons of libs are wrapping their lips around his bunghole and going full derp. |

His beef with the frivolous lawsuit was righteous.
He let that win go to his head. The Tesla thing was cute, the money raised was a waste. The Columbus thing was ignorant pop-history. Meh. His posts about dogs and cock sauce are funny. |

How much you wanna bet all the people going batshit and calling for her head over the lion pic are the same ones who sign every "stop internet bullying" petition they come across?

Disney asked theoatmeal... about Nikola Tesla.
As I said before, we didn't talk about the movie. Instead, they asked me a bunch of questions about Nikola Tesla. They asked what Tesla was doing in Colorado, and if he'd ever conducted experiments at Mineral King. They asked if Tesla belonged to an organization called "Plus Ultra", and if it was possible for him to have met Walt Disney. They also asked a variety of questions about the recently saved Wardenclyffe, particularly about the buried tunnels underneath the property that may potentially contain some of Tesla's old equipment. I know quite a bit about Tesla, but I'm by no means an expert historian. My insight into the man is mostly centered around his character -- that of an inspiring, geek underdog who changed the world and suffered bitterly for it. There are much better people than me whom Disney could be talking to. I told them I didn't have much insight, but I did my best and tried to separate the plausible from the implausible for them. I got the impression Disney was just covering their bases with some of these questions looking for confirmation of what they already believe View Quote Oh boy. Fact-checking on Tesla. With theoatmeal. |

I saw that post too. Most of the people commenting have no frame of reference for these animals..or I should say, Disney movies and zoos are the only frame of reference they have. They don't realize how dangerous some of this game can be.
...and the stupidity of saying that hunting isnt sport because the animals dont have guns, or not willing participants, blah blah blah. They conveniently forget that if not for hunters, Africa would be a desolate, empty wasteland devoid of animals, deer would probably be a major cause of roadway accidents (more so than it currently is) and many species would be out of control (ie the wolf populations in northwestern US) I don't see anything wrong with hunting purely for sport. If done responsibly, it is a resource that can be enjoyed for generations. |

He's always been a fucking retard. I'll never understand all the people tripping overthemselves to slobber on his cock "oh did you see the oatmeal today so funny hahaha"

bunch of bleeding heart internet liberals right there.
just furthers the notion that those whackjobs really do value animal life over human life any day of the week, except for cows and chickens and other animals they consume daily yet personally dont have the balls to kill for their own food. they have someone else do the dirty work. |

How do all of you people who decry "sport hunting" propose we effectively and efficiently control animal populations?
You'll gladly float your emotional opinion about poor animals dying and the psychopaths that perpetrate that killing, but I rarely see suggestions for effective conservation and management efforts. I guess it's just easier and more popular to sound high and mighty... Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Don't think he understands the reason he's alive is somewhere, animals and plants have to die for him to exist.
Even plants and trees will kill to enable their growth. |

View Quote You don't understaaaaannd. Cows and chickens aren't cute. And raising them in confinement while plugging them full of antibiotics and corn syrup is so much more honorable than senselessly killing. |

Honestly, do you really believe that reintroducing large predators will somehow lead to those poor animals dying in a quicker and more humane manner? The end result is the same: dead animals.

That Bambi-worshiping catamite is probably just upset that he'll never get pegged by Bachman.

Quoted: never heard of the place TXL View Quote It's basically the site that started the Edison hate vs Tesla. The Oatmeal is more of a Disney Princess/George Carlin take on the real world. It's funny if you think you'll grow up to live in a castle because you're super special and someone will see that someday or that "those guys in charge" are always the problem. It's not my thing but some of the stuff is funny and between that and cat pictures you have the fuel for the internet. |

The vast majority of people who are anti-hunting have simply never thought their position through. No more so than "OMG, you like killing Bambi" anyway. I've talked to a bunch in my life and after a short explanation every single one of them has reversed their position. Give him time and education. Though, calling for his head is going to have the opposite effect, generally. |

Whats really fucktarded about the entire "inbred, junior high educated, beer belly redneck" stereotypes that these lib idiots throw around is how ignorant they are regarding WHO is really going on these big game expeditions. Most of these "uneducated rednecks" are doctors, lawyers and successful businessmen who pay a metric fuckton of cash for that type of trip. You want to go on a lion hunt? $20k per person will get you started.

Wonder how many villagers and/or livestock the lion had killed? Maybe none. That said, many times, the trophy animals are 'problem' animals that need to be culled. Other times, their population is reaching a critical point and are, adversely affecting other populations that are also, endangered. It's, usually, a balancing act, as a whole.
