The Vileness of Humans

Canned Hunts = private trophy hunting ranches, also referred to as "shooting preserves" or "game ranches." Canned hunts offer their customers an opportunity to kill confined exotic and/or native species for a price (ref: The Humane Society of the United States: Facts about Canned Hunts)


Last nite, was watching CSI. One of the cases had something to do with 'canned hunts' involving a Zodiak bear and when they played a video of a canned hunt (it was a rhino), it brought back traumatizing memories of the factsheets that I'd read before pertaining to this vile 'sport'.

Humans are such vile creatures. It's not enuf that they make the hunting of wild animals a sport; they've introduced this concept of 'canned hunts' (see definition above). In this 'sport', the customer pays a certain sum of $$$ to the canned hunt operator and is guaranteed a 'trophy' and how this is done, it just plain sick:

  1. There is always a fence : unlike traditional hunting where hunters will enter a fenceless designated hunting area, canned hunts will have fences that prohibits the animal from escaping.
  2. The animals are semi-tame : they are often bred specifically for this purpose or purchased from game farms and as such, are accustomed to humans.
  3. The animals are sometimes drugged to prevent them from running to far from the hunting party.

I just dun get it. Wat is the point of hunting if the animal doesn't have a fair chance of escape?? And wat's the thrill in hunting a defenceless animal?? Do these so-called 'hunters' actually get a thrill out of killing a semi-tame, sometimes drugged animal??? I dun get it... I... JUST... DUN... GET... IT!!! Can u imagine how terrifying it is for the animal, to find out that they can't escape from these deranged two-legged creatures coz there's a barrier around all escape routes, and worse, in some cases, the flight instinct is hampered coz it's been drugged to keep it from running away? GAWD! I mean... how much more evil can humans get??!!! And they get a fucking THRILL out of this?!

I've always believed that humans, in general, are the most vile of all living beings... manipulative and always scheming for their own good. But when I hear/read/see things like this 'canned hunt', it almost drives me insane due to the sheer unfairness of it all. Dun even make me go into all the other horrible things that we humans do to these animals...

The animal species has been on the earth for far longer than us homo sapiens but here we are, acting like we're Gods of the earth with the right to do anything and everything we want with other living creatures. It just makes me sick to the stomach just thinking about it... I just hope there will come a day where animals will rule and exterminate all the vile humans from the face of the earth.
