Econazis Target Marlins Pitcher Logan Kensing for Protecting Ranch from Wild Pigs
Florida Marlins relief pitcher Logan Kensing's family owns a ranch in Texas. To keep rapidly breeding wild pigs from wreaking havoc, Kensing thins their numbers from a helicopter. According to the militants at the Palm Beach County Environmental Coalition, this will not do.
Growls co-chair Barry Silver:
We want the Marlins to make him agree to stop. […] If they don't, we will be persistent. We'll infiltrate the fans and pull out signs. We'll picket. If we're willing to have 27 people arrested, it's obvious we're committed.
It's certainly obvious that they ought to be committed. Next we'll have plants' rights advocates demanding that farmers stop killing weeds.
Predictably, this opportunity to restrict our freedom in the name of moonbattery has aroused interest in the Government. Dan Liftman, an aide to bribe-soliciting impeached ex-judge and current Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), thinks Kensing is "pretty sick" for shooting the pests from the air:
When killing becomes mechanized, it's all too easy. Scientific literature makes it clear that when someone engages in violence against animals, that person is more likely to commit violence against people.
Let that be a warning to batters who try to crowd the plate when Kensing comes in to pitch.

On a tip from Lyle.

"Wild pigs" are an introduced European/Asian species that has cross-bred with domesticated pigs making the resulting animals even bigger and more freakishly out of place. They are destructive not just to farmers and ranchers land, but to the local "ecosystems" that environmentalists claim to care about.
These people are just plain stupid.

This mob are an Earth First! affiliate, i.e. part of the Earth Liberation Front. He should expect some violence.

He has a helicopter, a rifle, and the skill to accurately place rounds on target from the chopper. I think he'll be just fine...

In Wisconsin a somewhat similar situation with feral pigs. Deer hunters are encouraged to shoot on sight. I didn't know deer hunting made me more violent towards humans. Liberals, maybe.....

The enviroMoonbats should adopt the 'Human Shield' method of protecting the feral pigs.
That way they could put 'their asses where their mouths are' since bullshit walks and Moonbats talks a bunch of bullshit.
Anyway, if the MooneeBattees want to employ the 'Human Shield' approach, Kensing and his family could also shoot them for tresspassing, as well as thin the pigs.
Bigger Bang for the same buck in Aviation Fuel.

You gotta be fucking kidding me. That douchebag is seriously trying to compare some sickass shitbag impaling a puppy and someone hunting wild boars to keep their numbers in check? Never let it be said that politicians aren't fucknuts.

I wonder how the feral hogs would react to moonbats trying to give them hugs and kisses?

Forest - would get a bit 'Gory' no?
Thanks for the laugh.
Posted by: Oiao at March 10, 2008 11:07 AM
I don't think the feral hogs would notice. Moonbats would fit right in with them. Every moonbat I've ever seen looks like a pig's ass to me. Smells like one, too.

FORREST is right about wild hogs causing destrution to the landscape, but I THINK it's illegal to hunt from "a vehicle" in some states. Kensing better check before he fires another shot.

Wooooo...pickets and signs. They are serious.

If memory serves me correctly, in some places, the government is glad for folks to shoot feral hogs because of the ecosystem damage that they do. Cumberland Island, GA is one place, perhaps the Smoky Mountains National Park, too.

I don't want to sound queer or nothin', but Logan Kensing's hot.

V the K, is that 'Hot' with, or without brandishing firepower? LOL

Large wild pigs, if their numbers are left unchecked, can cause major damage to an ecosystem. As I recall, that was part of the reason why the dodo bird went extinct so quickly. The European explorers who landed on the dodos' island brought with them their large pigs, which soon developed a taste for dodo eggs, which was essentially a death sentence for the species.
Brooklyn Red Leg is dead on about that the idiocy of Hastings' comment. There's definitely a difference between psychos torturing and killing dogs or cats or chipmunks, and a man trying to protect his property by shooting wild pigs to keep them from becoming overpopulated and ruining his property.

Shooting wild pigs from a helicopter, sounds like a lot of fun to me, wonder if he needs help.
Posted by: WZ at March 11, 2008 1:31 PM
you people are a bunch of fucking retards. take your liberal, hippy bullshit somewhere else. he hunts these pigs in order to control the population because they can harm the ecosystem if there numbers get out of control. they can also do damage to the land and the cattle on the land. you all dont have the slightest fucking clue about what you are talking about so maybe next time you should do some research about the subject before you go comparing him to michael vick. fucking assholes.
