Ak Gara posted:[edit] Why is forcing the animal to undergo 8 hours of exhaustion to the point it loving dies considered better and more honourable than killing it instantly? nobody said it was honorable you dingus. it's an illustration of heat stroke and how human beings can leverage our physical advantages of easier heat dissipation due to hairless skin + upright posture as well as being able to carry water, which allows us to chase animals until they die or collapse from heat exhaustion heatstroke is no joke

Early hominids didn't have guns. Or much in the way of tools at all. And our teeth and claws suck. Our ancestors didn't do this because it was honourable, they did it because it was effective with what they had at hand. Also has the advantage of very little danger of injury to the hunter, which is spiffy if you don't have antibiotics. As for why people are still doing it. Who knows? Probably the same reasons people still use traps and snares that don't kill the prey instantly. Or they want to stay in top shape in case of zombie apocalypse.

I think I would rather lie down from exhaustion than be surrounded by a bunch of dudes with spears and exsaguinated, but I’m not a quadruped so what do I know?

Or maybe it's because they want to be ready for the zombie apocalypse.

The honourable part was mostly the youtube comments praising how things should be, all in tune with the animal and what not. It just seems a really inefficient way of getting food. There's better methods.

If you can run/jog for 8 hours to hunt down animals several times your size with water and snacks you get a bloody medal of meat. I don't know why you would call any form of hunting "Honourable" it is what it is. Great if you have a nitro 500 express magnum Lupa 50.cal hot load with expanding tip for that one shot one kill to cut down on suffering if you are getting something for the table. Be pissed of at the assholes killing rare animals for long chunks of Keratin and heads to mount on walls for sport. oohhboy fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Jan 12, 2018 |

I love that he's got to turn a key in the ignition to start the thing up, I guess so he can take the key away when he's not using it to avoid having his stoner buddies loving around with it and accidentally lasering their eyes into smoking craters. I wonder if he had to find that out the hard way.

Soon there will be weed technology too powerful for the civilian sector, necessitating a pair of trained operators in a remote silo to turn permissive action link keys at the same time to permit Randy and his bros to get their buzz on.

Why does the guy on the right wearing red disappear, it seems the truck crossed the line twice in two different takes and it was badly spliced together? Or maybe a few frames missing?
