Late on the bandwagon I know, but this reminds me of one time when I worked for an offshore firm. I was shipped (flown actually) to a drilling platform and a bunch of rednecks were sitting around watching a "hunting" film. The thrust of it was to take 20 or so dogs, fun a wild pig down until it was so tired it couldn't move and then kill it with a well placed knife in the heart.
Now, my point is this. People don't really hunt any more. technology has taken us to the point where it isn't a sport or hunting, it's a harvest.
I find it interesting how the definitions, or meanings, of things change over time but the words don't shift with them.
Those fucktards, in either case, have found an easy and safe way to satisfy a social need at the expense of both the animal's life and the dilution of the word.
