It’s decolonization. They should be celebrating it.

The decision by Parks Canada to kill all of the European fallow deer on Sidney Island will also include scores of native blacktails because sharpshooters in helicopters and ground hunters at night won’t be able to tell the difference, a demonstration heard Friday on the Sidney waterfront.

 

That’s heartbreaking for residents of Sidney Island like Wendy Ord, who says the plan to start a co-ordinated mass slaughter of European fallow deer isn’t even necessary because the numbers are already low.

 

“They are going to kill all the deer on our island because by helicopter who really can tell which are which,” said Ord, a documentary filmmaker who has lived on Sidney Island for years.

Maybe she should be asking to take the border wall down that divides her side from their side? Wrong link by the way.

Seems like the right thread to post this vid. World record for hogs eliminated in 30 seconds. https://www.youtube....YjvJFTXf4&t=15s

Wow - they were even using a rotating mini gun at one point there!  Too bad all of that meat goes to waste, though..

1. Semi-automatic assault-style rifles to be used for Sidney Island deer kill
2.  

The cull, starting Dec. 1 and expected to last 10 days, will be carried out by sharpshooters in helicopters, as well as by land and boat

100% of the people who will be outraged by “semi-automatic assault-style” will have no idea what it means.

It’s the same inflammatory language Trudeau uses.

[Mike K.]

Yes, unnecessarily dramatic reporting.

“Assault-style” is completely meaningless.

[max.bravo]

I would like to ask the author of the article if they can explain the difference between semi automatic and automatic action. Also would be nice to know how many cartridges the magazines on these 'assault style' weapons can hold. Cuz i'm guessing it's approximately 5...really dangerous stuff

It’s way out of balance there. You can see it if you walk in the forest. No fern, no salal as soon as you are a bit away from the dock end. I’m sure many protesters are vegetarians. Won’t they think of the veggies rights to exist?

The truth is, we only know a limited amount about “plants”. We know that they don’t share our abilities to animate in the same way, with some exceptions, like the venus flytrap. The hard-core organic gardeners are against hedging.. hopefully it’s like hair or fingernails. It’s emotionally easier just to discount them as vegetative. It’s possible to achieve an equal emotional attachment to either.

Our perception of time is also a factor: https://youtu.be/UG9...UyO2uKBRTB_A_k6


For our survival at the very least, we need the plants (food, climate change/biotic pump, etc)

^mental illness.

[Mike K.]

We need meat, for our survival and wellbeing.

Veganism and human extinctionism are good friends, if you want to get very philosophical about it.

[todd]

^mental illness.

I suppose they are. Maybe religious beliefs. I’m just looking at it realistically.

You did watch the videos?

On the eve of mass fallow deer kill, pleas to stop the helicopter cull

 

A mass kill of fallow deer on Sidney Island is expected to start Friday, despite 11th-hour appeals from those who say it’s unnecessary, expensive and inhumane

I just hope they record it and put it on YouTube!

I hope they sell the meat! Mmm, mmm, mmm!

Contract of a lifetime for whoever is getting paid to shoot deer from a helicopter. Lotta people would pay big money for that chance.

A British Columbia woman well-known for her trophy hunts of lions, bears and giraffes says she sees the killing as an ethical form of wildlife conservation.

 

Jacine Jadresko of Victoria has found herself a target of online hatred for her trophy hunting around the world.

Didn't she offer a helicopter for a local missing person search once?
