Cool bro, nice definitely real data about animals existing in nature you paid to put on that billboard. Now do cars

Incidentally, I was curious what this number actually is, but apparently no one is even attempting to keep track of how many deer are injured/killed by cars, despite frequently involving a police report and/or insurance claim

The actual number of animals killed in deer-vehicle collisions is not known because no such database exists.

I can literally see a dead deer every few miles in some places. I imagine a portion of them are hit by larger trucks where an insurance claim isn't necessary.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

It'd be a special kind of hell world if cars did a better job of deer population control than hunters given how much hunters lobby to shoot more deer

...that's...good? My brother in Christ what do you expect a carnivore to eat?

[–] [email protected] 68 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would like them to eat hunters.

inshallah-script

The only kind of shocking "gore-style" videos I ever enjoyed when I was young were animals fucking up humans who were hunting or tormenting them. Honestly that shit never gets old for me. When those pics of that matador with a bull horn going in his neck and out his mouth my only reaction was nicholson-yes

That sounds like one of the good subreddits

New kind of guy: advocates veganism but only for obligate carnivores

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

New kind of guy that uses the word obligate as a slur for cats.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Sadly that is not a new kind of guy.

Yeah this is so messed up, we need to stop these wolves from killing so many deer... Checks notes... so that we can kill them instead

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is the actual message of the sign.

"Isn't it terrible what those wolves due to deer" says person who is mad he only gets one tag this year because wolves actually naturally control deer populations.

You've got to have a fucked up baby brain to think that this emotional blackmail would fucking work.

What are they even trying to do?

It's either:

Wolves kill so many baby deers, so what difference does it make if we kill some too?

Wolves kill so many baby deers, let us kill the wolves to save the baby deers.

Haha, veggie, you love nature so much, what about wolves who kill so many baby deers, checkmate!

I think they want to hunt wolves again. IIRC, Minnesota was the only state you could hunt wolves for a couple years, and I guess some folks miss it.

From 2019 - https://www.mprnews.org/story/2023/04/19/minnesota-house-votes-to-ban-recreational-wolf-hunting

From 2023 - https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/minnesota-wolf-hunting/

Pretty funny seeing pro-life billboards but for deer.

Idaho, Montana and Wyoming exist

Odd to pay for an add that says an animal is doing your thing but for free. we should release more wolves

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Specifically into the homes of ranchers after we take their guns.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Unironically we should in areas where they're native but their numbers have been decimated

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

:gulag: for all of them. Ranchers, whiny ass deer hunters, all of them. Deer are so absurdly overpopulated that they've all got covid and zombie prions and they're destroying native plant life causing serious ecological problems and some asshole paid for a billboardz?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

hot take: deer hunting is good as a substitute to fill an ecological niche while predators rebound, but whiny ass deer hunting is snowflakish and must be re-educated

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just allow predators (animals) to exist. Hunters are the worst.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Did you read the post you responded to? You can't just let them exist, when the predator species you're talking about still actively needs help to rebound. In the meantime, human deer hunting, for all of the garbage culture that surrounds it, fills the lacking ecological niche that was historically filled by predators who's habitat we've largely destroyed

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Where are the vegan wolves? 😔

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is this supposed to convince people who hate deer so much they shoot them with high powered rifles that wolves are their friends?

The tone and composition seems off for that but idk.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"The wolves are killstealing"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Wolves are butting in on our territory!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

tHEY TOOk our joBS rage-cry

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

Pweese let us shoot all the wolves? Fences are reeeally expensive and it's haaard. Look at the cute baby deer! What if we had to kill all the wolves?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do the wolves kill so many fawns because the hunters are out there shooting all of their parents that might be able to protect them? The bucks have those antlers for a reason

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bucks have antlers to fight other bucks to fuck during the rut bucks don't even stick around for the birth let alone defend fawns from wolves lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, it was just an idea. But wait, if you know so much about deer family dynamics, then how come you don't have any friends that are deers?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cus they're a bunch of deadbeat dads.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, good. Ok.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shouldn't they be hunting wolves then?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Unfortunately a lot of hunters want to hunt wolves because they see them as "taking their kills" whether that be elk or deer. Its fucking awful for the ecosystem and actually makes the deer population worse not to mention our Indigenous people are against it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah the slowly rotting and festering countries in northern europe are doing this now. The conservative government in sweden is selling hunting licenses (trophy hunting) for (locally) endangered species like wolves and lynxes. Norway is doing something similar. I wish every trophy hunter a very naked-in-the-snow-and-pursued-by-wolves winter season

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They shoot wolves from helicopters in Alaska to keep their moose numbers up and that trophy hunting tourism cash flowing in

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Let’s juice that up a little, those are rookie numbers!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Where can I get some wolves

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

The same hunters: hunting is necessary for culling the population

True, because we destroyed the predator population out of ignorant fear mongering and by destroying habitats
