LIGONIER TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Vice President Dick Cheney is being criticized
for shooting duck and pheasant Monday at the Rolling Rock Club in
Ligonier, Westmoreland County, Team 4's Jim Parsons reported.

Mark Bolish, an employee of the exclusive private club, told Channel 4
Action News that Cheney shot about 70 stocked pheasants and mallards
that were released for a group of hunters. More than 400 of the
farm-raised birds were killed in all.


OK, I'm replying to my own post. **** me. Isn't anyone taking the bait?
Is shooting 70 farm-raised pheasants and ducks in one day sportsmanlike?
Is it hunting? Isn't it more like target practice?

This represents the attitude of easy entitlement that so disgusts me
about people like Cheney.

my visceral response-no, it isn't sportsman-like. it's ****ed up!
my intellectual response- is it really much different from fishing in
stocked ponds, and raising animals for the sole purpose of slaughtering them
for human consumption?

Snakefiddler-no, i'm not a vegetarian ......
