“It appears to me that the Sierra Club should have better projects to spend $15,700 on than sending some nimrod to Alaska to shoot wildlife.”He doesn't get his way, so he calls people names, then takes his ball and goes home.
Paul Watson, you're a paragon of maturity.

”I wonder how many of the Sierra Club’s 750,000 members know and approve of killing animals with their contributions?”
ReplyDeleteWhat a great line. Some people just can't (or won't) grasp the important relationship between hunting and wildlife/nature conservation. He must also think that hunters simply kill wildlife and leave it. My uncle, who has lived in Alaska for 25 years, pulled 800 lbs. of meat off a moose. Do you know how many people you can feed with 800 lbs. of meat???
Obviously, Mr. Watson knows nothing about conservation or the history of conservation nor just which subset of citizens started the conservation movement. Apparently all he knew was how good he felt about himself believing that Bambi and the bears and the wolves and the rabbits all get along and are each other's support group when they aren't busy singing songs and dancing.
ReplyDeleteThe lion will lie down with the lamb when the Son of God rules this earth. Until then, we are hunters. Live with it, Sierra Club!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he knows that his intended insult actually isn't. Nimrod is an old Hebrew name. Check Genesis 10:8-9.
ReplyDelete"And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD."
I suspect Alan, that he does not. However, I can remember when a compliment was paid by calling someone a nimrod,or Nimrod with a capital N. It was usually reserved for the best shots, with the cleanest most merciful kills and most meat on the table.
ReplyDeletePerchance the dimbulb was confused.
I do believe people are confusing Nimrod with "nimnull", which was an Orkian insult from the old "Mork and Mindy" series.
ReplyDeleteI didn't go into that because there is much negfative said about Nimrod, particularly from the historian Josephus, who describes him as a tyrant exciting his people to contempt for God.
