Contests for Killing Predatory animals in the United States

As if hunting or trophy hunting aren't bad enough, why not make a game out of it? Several states in the United States are taking part in a predator contest looking for the number one hunter across the regions. The contest suggests killing as many coyotes as possible all in the name of fun and suggests that winning this contest will be "big" news. 

There's something so disturbing about an activity that promotes going out and slaughtering as many animals as possible especially when it is being described as fun. Picturing these people stalking the forests looking for animals to shoot and kill is such a disturbing visual but the fact is, there's plenty of people who are engaging in these sorts of sickening activities. One specific photo shared by a member of this particular group shows him proudly smiling in front of several coyote corpses he had strung up behind him. He stated that nothing gives him a rush quite like disturbing a pack and waiting for the right moment to shoot them dead. 

I've said this before but I will say it again, there's something seriously wrong with you if you get your thrills out of stalking and killing animals for fun. There's a complete lack of compassion and empathy involved in a sport like this and when you factor in that it is being described as a fun sport, it's even more disturbing and offensive. How in the hell can anyone find anything fun about this? There has to be something mentally wrong in your head because even as a meat eater, going out and slaughtering animals was never something I would have considered as fun so it's an indicator to me that there has to be something unusual about the way these people's brains work.

Hunting is a deplorable sport that repeatedly encourages murder. In the case of hunting for "food", there is at least some kind of arguable value to it but in this case, what is there to argue? These people literally take pleasure in disrupting, scaring, and killing animals for fun. What kind of people are these? As I said, there's definitely something wrong with you if you consider these sorts of activities fun in any way. 

If you live in the United States and want to help put a stop to these horrific events, follow the link to the World Animal News page and follow their instructions to contact your state legislators and city councils. Please take the time to do this if you live in one of the states that participate because the next round of hunting games are taking place in early January!
