If you warn them, then it’s OK to kill them
Posted June 7th, 2008 at 2:29 PM by Jon HamFor all their professed love of Gaia and her furry friends, liberal greenies sure can get murderous when their vegan gardens are in jeopardy from varmints:
Finally, the artist decided he would have to shoot the animals. First, though, he went to each hole and made an announcement.
“I said: ‘I intend to kill you. You have 24 hours to get out,’ †he recalls. “I wanted to give them fair warning. I said, ‘If I were you, I would find another place to live.’ I also promised them I would not take a shot unless I knew it would be fatal.â€
He is making this into a funny story, he says, but when he killed his first woodchuck he “literally felt sick.â€
“I went outside and knelt down to it and said a little prayer to whatever the powers that be that when my turn comes, I will do it as gracefully and uncomplainingly.â€
You just have to laugh.

A few comments:
1. What a moron. Doesn’t he understand that the reason that animals don’t respond when you talk to them is that virtually no animals speak or understand English? For example, chickens and frogs and jellyfish speak French; snakes speak Arabic or Farsi; zebras speak Afrikaans; bears (including polar bears) speak Russian; turkeys speak Turkish (duh), and most garden varmints, including squirrels, rabbits, gophers, and woodchucks (which are also known as groundhogs — did he really have one of them in his garden? those things are pretty dang big) speak Finnish, for some reason.
2. Hasn’t this dope heard of a Havahart trap? Typical liberal reaction to overreact. He could easily trap these vegaravagers and take them out to the countryside… but nooooo, he’s gonna kill them.
3. Since apparently it is OK to kill animals after verbally warning them, does that mean we can similarly threaten foreign nations like North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela and then bomb the bejeezus out of them when they fail to heed our warnings? Or is this just more liberal hypocrisy and double-standardizing in action?
