Non-Believer Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Personally I'd tie his ankle to a stake with a length of rope beforehand too, it would be more sporting if he's allowed a bit of movement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkydevil Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I'd like to see more big game hunting in the Isle of Man. Elephants, Tigers, Bears, Wild Boar, that sort of thing. Could be a great boost to Tourism and really kick start the economy. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Anyone that voted for jethro and are now surprised at the outcome should be eliminated from society. If we could make a few quid out of a running man style human hunt and shoot then it's definitely worth exploring, preferably while naked and smothered in treacle, the runner can wear what they want though. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frances Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I guess the suggestion re manhunts indicates that some are missing the traditional Manx blood sport of the TT. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 He condemned it, saying stuff like 'we should not be involved with the indiscriminate killing of animals for sport'. Which is inarguable. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Do us all a favour and get this clown out on his ass at the next election, Peel; even if you have to elect a monkey. With all that's going on and what we face for the future, Boot's in the wrong place, the wrong time and in the wrong job. Jeez, we're even paying him... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the blue Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) I have mixed views about this, I do not particularly like or participate in game shooting, and do not understand how people can derive pleasure out of killing anything. Hunting for food if it was necessary due to societal collapse I understand, but although I would do it to survive (I am not a vegetarian) I would not take any pleasure out of doing it. Conversely these specific birds (the ones that would be released) only exist because they are bred in farms as game, and once released the vast majority avoid being shot and frankly move into other areas and viable populations are created that sustain our local raptors, polecats etc. I am led to believe that unlike Pheasants the Partridges are native birds and their reintroduction should then be welcomed, even if the ethics for their introduction could be viewed as distasteful by many. On balance I would support the introduction of a game season, if only because they are a bird that would compliment our current wildlife.
