      Some background on this comic:

      Transcript:

      Every time that I’ve seen a stuffed bear, it’s posed in the standard, threatening-like stance. I guess every bear hunter would like to give the impression that this is exactly how the animal was snuffed―seconds before he (the hunter) was to be pulled into that terrible maw.

      I think the truth is much more akin to what I’ve drawn here.

        so true. this is not satire

            Indeed. Trophy hunters are scum of the Earth.

                Thankfully the “sport” seems mosty limited to African safaris where they are purposefully culling a given population. That’s why I reserve my ire until I’ve read the story. In many cases the conservation folks get paid and someone had to cull that animal anyway.

                Now I am all in on feral pig trophy hunting. They’re so bad that Florida has zero bag limits, no season defined and all methods allowed. Weapons free!

                    They are so bad for florida. Unlike humans, they are great.

                        So are you okay with animals forcing other animals out of their habitat and risking their well-being or not?

                      They’re inherently cowards by simply not allowing themselves to be hunted.☝🏼

                            You ever watch a nature documentary? I think you’re in for a shock :(

                                    Plenty of meat eaters…

                                        Plenty of sentients’ that haven’t even entered their stone age.

                                            So your proposal is that chimps and lions are going to stop eating meat when they enter their stone age? In spite of the wealth of evidence to the contrary?

                                            I’m okay with expecting better of people, but there is very little that humans do that other species don’t. Eating other animals is just one of them.

                                                    No, sir, or madam. I replied to you and you told me to use a better instance, that was when I sensed you might be upset about what I said.

                                                    I now kind of get the hint of you telling me to “removed” off and never talk to you again. I will do that, and wish you a nice day.

                                                        Your instance changed the “b” word to “removed”. Everyone else sees the b word. Your comment made it obvious that you didn’t know that your instance was censoring what you see and they made a cheeky joke about it. Then you were an removed to them.

Your shitty Lemmy insurance censored the original text “b*tch ass move” into “Removed ass move” and then you, not understanding what happened, responded to the censored version that only you and other people on shitty censored instances can see. I had to also censor my post just to inform you that information you clearly need in order to understand posts here is being withheld from you by the shitty Lemmy instance which you should leave.

                                                              Today is the fisrt time ever I know that the censorship comes from the instance I visit posts from. Before that I thought some instances which host the post automatically replace curse words with “removed”.

                                                              Like I said, I stopped replying to the original commentor, but I am not comfortable about being seen as ignorant or trolling. I was neither.

                                                        I wonder how many hunting enthusiasts read this comic in the paper and didn’t understand the joke (or didn’t realize that this is making fun of them).

These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

                                                                          The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side
