Morons at the Pond

Posted on 10. Aug, 2009 by Devo in Just Dumb

I’m sure you’ve heard about the 3 guys who put up a video on YouTube showing 2 of them shooting ducks floating on a pond while the other filmed it. I simply couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the story on the news that showed a part of the video.

There are two parts to this that once again have me shaking my head. Firstly, ‘rednecks‘ come to mind. The guys are standing at the side of a pond shooting helpless ducks for a thrill and having the time of their lives all the while thinking what a ‘blast‘ to put it up on YouTube where everyone else will get a good laugh.

Where do I start with this one? I’m not a hunter and I don’t own a gun, but I do know people who do hunt and I can live with that, but this? This is ugly. These guys are seriously short upstairs to have fun doing this and then to put it on the web. Are you shaking your head too?

The update is that they have had their day in court and pleaded guilty after being charged with 15 counts of violating federal and provincial wildlife protection laws. Two of them were fined $5000 and the other $6000 and all have been given a 3 year hunting license ban. Their guns were also confiscated.

I can live with the penalties they received, but for me the word euthanasia comes to mind.
