Angry Goose Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 http://www.sportsnet..._mountain_goat/ Ok. I'm going to say out right that a) I don't eat non human animals; b ) I take non human animal ethics very seriously (I have a masters degree in philosophy on this very topic) & c) I'm a big fan of David Booth the hockey player. Further, I am not absolutely against hunting. There can be good reasons for it i.e. necessary wildlife management. So there are exceptions to the rule. HOWEVER, as much as I don't want to dislike what Booth has done, I can't help but say that his reasoning just doesn't work, ethically speaking. Sure, hunting goats may be challenging but why should we care about that? Of course it is a thrill for the hunters, but what about the interests of the animals themselves? Don't they count for something Booth? Or is it all about human interests only? This isn't intended to be a hater thread. It's too bad for the goat is all I'm saying. Would much rather hockey started (might keep Booth away from his 'hobby'). I find it ironic that as much of this bugs me I still would completely support Booth as a hockey player. I do wonder where Booth draws the line though..... START THE SEASON!!! END THE MASSACRE (note: sarcasm) ***EDIT*** 14/10/12 Thought I should add a few posts which display a lack of reasoning. If anyone wants to specifically address me on a point related, feel free to do so. I will try my best to address any direct responses. i believe we have a cannibal here friends stay clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeeterHansen Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I guess, you could say, David Booth got his goat. That goat had a baaaah-d afternoon. Finally, David Booth gets a picture with a kid. Welcome to CDC. We've goat puns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I honestly hate all this "hoopla" about David Booth's hunting. - He hunts within the the rules & regulations that are enforced to make sure those species of animals do not become extinct. So can we just stop complaining about it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck'nAnimal Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Just when I think I have read it all on CDC. Just when I think it is impossible for someone to say something more outright baffling. You sir, you come out with this. Thank you for bragging about your Cannibalism. My stupidity meter officially has a new low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This has been beaten to death numerous times. So long as Booth is doing this legally, this is a non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00bxQb Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Anyways, I don't have a problem with hunting. I have never hunted myself nor do I plan to, but I believe in the right to hunt animals (within reason, of course). Why is hunting and killing a mountain goat for food and trophy not okay but raising and slaughtering cattle for meat and leather okay? I don't get why people are so outraged over stuff like this ...

Jordan Subban Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hmm it's funny, just the other day i was thinking about how the child of a goat and a cow would look like... now i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
