Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 13, 2014
Transcript:
Girl: Good luck this weekend, Coach Hacker! Coach Hacker: Really? You don't object to hunting? Girl: Look: I Just ate part of a dead chicken that made it into my sandwich with no effort from me. You bring home your own lunch meat. Coach Hacker: Well. In 1998, anyway. Girl: Wow. Has it been that long?

Deer are so over populated it’s silly… I couldn’t kill one myself….(I do sometimes go along with my hunting friends, you know, to watch the camp and help them drink beer)….But it’s either guns or wolves….And you’d need a lot of wolves….

I lived for four-and-a-half years in Central Wisconsin. I can still remember being awakened on Saturday mornings by the sound of gunfire from outside the little town (Iola) I lived in, announcing the start of hunting season. I felt like I’d awakened in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Wonderful today! I am happy for Coach Hacker and for the kid for understanding the value in hunting. Good luck to everyone who is hunting this weekend! I am looking forward to deer camp, myself!

The rural high school I went to still has the first day of deer Season as a school holiday.

I’ve kilt more deer with cars than guns. They used to LIVE in my back yard and the neighbors’ cornfields until “the season” opened up. Then they went AWOL.. (sigh)

Never been hunting, never had the urge. I’ll repeat the above sentiment about “eating what you hunt” (and not just because all those folks are heavily armed right about now). Any gunfire in my neighborhood means one of two things — it’s New Years (or sometimes Christmas) or one of the neighbors is in trouble with the law.

No wolves left in Northern Virginia, so it is either guns, cars or starvation for the deer..I have no problem with hunting.Even if you don’t like to eat your kill, there are ways to donate the venison to food banks..But it is tough to allow hunting in the suburbs. Local authorities are trying other things, like immunocontraception.

I used to hear that “Man is the only animal that kills just for sport.” Obviously, that person never had a cat.

@dzw3030 I like that idea, although you’d need to make sure the anesthesia isn’t harmful to whoever eats the meat. I know people claim hunting is a “humane” answer to overpopulation, but there’s nothing really humane about blowing something apart with a massive wound that may not cause instant death, leaving the animal terrified and suffering.
Now, as to the child in today’s strip, you know, Sonny, you don’t HAVE to eat dead chicken or dead any-animal in your sandwich to get proper nutrition. In fact, there was an excellent article published on buzzfeed.com this month, called “21 Meat Alternatives You Should Be Cooking With.” I recommend it.

Your wording implies there’s something “unnatural” about humans eating deer. Why? Humans are omnivores and have been hunting and eating prey like deer for thousands of years. What makes this anything other than natural?
Pipe Tobacco about 10 years ago
Would it not be accurate that we, omnivorous humans, would be a deer`s predator? I do not eat much meat at all anymore, but I think deer hunting is more humane and natural than commercial chicken farming.
