Using a K9 in airsoft

[ParoJo]

You'd be better off teaching a hawk to dump bags of BBs on the enemy team.

Just wondering why my post was deleted? Was it considered flame?

Sorry, you were the unfortunate victim of having to remove a large chunk of the conversation before it became a flame war. Feel free to post what you had posted before.

My 2-cents is that dogs are great for taking promotional pictures of yourself or your team, or for scripted sequences in immersive gameplay where there is no shooting of any kind or interaction between dog and non-actor. But they really, like real fighting knives, foam swords, or tomohawks (Which I love to death in the real world) have no place on the airsoft field.

I missed a flame war.

Goddamnit!

Sorry, Ogre. It was all my fault for bringing up the subject of robotic dogs.

Sorry, no killer cyborg darpa dogs allowed.

I'll pass.

"HSUS is big, rich, and powerful. While most local animal shelters are under-funded and unsung, HSUS has accumulated $195 million in assets and built a recognizable brand by capitalizing on the confusion its very name provokes. This misdirection results in an irony of which most animal lovers are unaware: HSUS raises enough money to finance animal shelters in every single state, with money to spare, yet it doesn’t operate a single one anywhere.

Instead, HSUS spends millions on programs that seek to economically cripple meat and dairy producers; eliminate the use of animals in biomedical research labs; phase out pet breeding, zoos, and circus animal acts; and demonize hunters as crazed lunatics. HSUS spends more than $4 million each year on travel expenses alone, just keeping its multi-national agenda going.

HSUS president Wayne Pacelle described some of his goals in 2004 for The Washington Post: “We will see the end of wild animals in circus acts … [and we’re] phasing out animals used in research. Hunting? I think you will see a steady decline in numbers.” But Pacelle may have more ambitious anti-hunting goals. In 1991, while he was the National Director of the Fund for Animals, Pacelle told the Associated Press: “[I]f we could shut down all sport hunting in a moment, we would."

Aaaaaand there's our college professor. Nice job Rob! I'm a little impressed. Now let's hunt, and fake kill some people!

We get it, you have a boner for hunting.

Posted this here for people who might wanna take their dogs and do something social. Including you Rob. It's about the dogs, not an agenda. You don't have to give them any money to come and have a good time.

Lighten up.

It's not about hunting. It's about a misrepresentation of a charity.

I live with--not own--three dogs. We're social all the time. With other dogs, with other people, even with other animals. Hell, there's a wild turkey walking around outside my window right now.

I still won't support the HSUS even if it's something that I don't have to pay money for. If I were to go, I'd be one of the "hundreds of people that came to support the HSUS." I won't be that.

And don't bleeding tell me to lighten up. I can be as heavy as I want to be. Just look at my beer belly for proof.

I was really waiting for the "Hold on a second, there's a wild turkey walking around...*bang*... and there is dinner."

I think the obvious point is PETA will kick your %*% if they find out you want to have dogs being shot at for recreation. Jus sayin. lol

PETA doesn't even want pets to exist. They aren't against just animal abuse or killing and eating them, they are against any animal use and view pets as slaves. That's why the vast majority of the pets they "rescue" are just euthanized.

I thought about it. He was a legal--young, small--but legal bird. I've already killed two birds this year and it just didn't seem like a sporting way to shoot my last bird. It just didn't seem sporting in general, to be honest. Besides, he's hanging out with the two hens down the road and next year there might be 9 turkeys.

Aaaand that is enough of that.
Thank you all for your participation in this thread, but I'm going to go ahead and lock it under "Asked and answered".
