Goat Killer

This is pretty nuts. What type of rifle is that?

Well, the reason they were flown in from New Zealand is because they are not welcome here. Helicopters were being shot at in the sky and set fire to on the ground as a form of umm, consumer backlash.

I know they are eradicating a problem but the cruelty of fairly ramdomly placed shots anoyed half the country and commercially hunting deer from helicopters in the wilds wound up the other half of the country.

Sorry, that's a standard GI magazine. 5.56x45.

An AR-15 of some kind. Free-float handguard with a bull barrel. .308 recoil would have been much more visibly apparent.

"Watch this amazing marksman dispatch goats from an airborne chopper. "

Why would anyone want to watch that?

You're right.

High velocity prairie dog vaporization is much funnier!

The good thing about prairie dog vaporization is it's instant. No cruelty. One of those goats was wounded and just stood there waiting for the next shot.

I find the joy some people get out of watching God's creatures being destroyed disturbing.

yeah, I get the need to control pests, I'm not sure I'd make slow mo videos complete with flashy banners and captions. Something wrong with some people.

Not really relevant if he is a vegan, I think everyone knows that animals die to support human needs and that is just the way of life. However, it takes some one a bit sick in the head to watch it for entertainment. What is the point in that? Even when the actions are necessary and required, does not mean that are fun to watch.

Yes I do and fail to see the relation. One is fantasy and the other reality. I personally don't see the purpose in filming these things with all the fanfare etc., at least the goat guy is filling a role, those idiots with the prairie dogs are the type of people that get a out of drowning kittens. There is, in my mind at least, no good reason to film and distribute this garbage.

I suppose your point is that because I eat meat I should enjoy sitting around watching movies about animals being staughtered?
That's like saying because you take a schit every day you should enjoy sitting around watching movies of people schitting.
