I’m not making tjis up! This is an actual headline I just happened upon while google-searhing for honest to goodness hunting accidents for our website. Now, I’ve heard of deer hunting season and elk hunting season and bear hunting season, duck hunting and pheasant hunting season, but I can’t believe there are “sportsmen” and “sportswomen” out there who are actually thinking of holding a YOUTH hunting season!
Now I’ve heard everything. No sooner do these innocent little kids learn to walk, than they’re told to run… for thier lives. I bet some of these “sportsmen” won’t even give the youths (their targets, in this case) a ten-second head start before they start blasting at anything that walks swims or crawls… I mean, we’re talking about human beings here, not some “game” animals!! I know they’re just youths, but what about their rights?
Oops, uh, now that I actualy read past the headlines, I see that the article is really about youths having a special season to go out and blast non-humans, such as pheasants, quail and partridge. Well that’s different. Every young kid should have a chance to legally harvest their own lesser-beings for sport, hobby or just to spend time with their parents in the great outdoors. It’s not like the non-human targets have any rights at all. I mean, that would be crazy…
No, just go on out and have your fun. Here’s the real-world, mainstream AP article, if you’re just dying to know…………………………………….
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Youths 15 and younger are encouraged to participate in the statewide youth pheasant, quail and partridge season on Oct. 19-20.
