His son hung a dog and slit its throat for fun, and he himself caged his dog an put the poor creature on the roof rack whilst driving... and now he's shooting birds and essentially threatening o shoot us if we don't vote for him? You know what though, it'll be hilarious if he does get elected, he seems to represent what republicans are all about.

It is an introduced species from asia that is raised for eating and hunting. It is probably the most docile and close to domestic of the pheasants kept normally in captivity. It doesn't belong released into US forests and fields. A better choice would be the breeding of a native game bird. It is not a native bird. Shooting into a flock of chickens would be just as sporting. I regularly have the poor things wander onto my farm looking for food and sanctuary. They are released opening day and immediately have macho men shooting at them. The fish and game people often have to tell the hunters to wait until the men are clear before shooting. Raised in pens and fed by humans all their lives until they are stuffed in crates and dumped in the middle of nowhere the birds suffer. What the hunters don't kill the native predators get. They aren't given time to adjust from being a chicken to being a wild bird. Everybody near here has a pheasant horror story from carcasses left to rot missing just the wings and tail, to feeding a bird in the backyard only to have a moron with a gun pop out of the woods and shoot it while the family is right there near the bird. I had a goat shot opening day of pheasant season. I had an old horse die of heart failure because morons went under my electric fence and were shooting near the horses. They even thought it was funny that their dog got electrocuted. Some things should be. Pheasant hunting is one of those nasty things. It seems to attract idiots.

If you'd take a moment to become familiar with the sport, you'd soon find that pheasant hunting in Iowa can be a real treat, probably overshadowed only by South Dakota for the avid pheasant hunter's places they'd like to hunt. Huck wasn't doing anything other than what thousands of out-of-state hunters - which include politicians, ditchdiggers and CEOs - do every year. He even tried to head off the whining by reminding people that were it not for hunters, pheasants most likely wouldn't thrive anywhere in the U.S. Some of us enjoy taking some responsibility for the food we consume by harvesting it ourselves and actually enjoy the whole experience. Some people just as soon load their meat into a steel cart in a local supermarket. One is not "worse" than the other, just different - deal with it.

In fact, now that Huckabee think he has the "Christian" element of the Republican party wrapped up he's dropped his "Christian Leader" title. How's that for using Christ to get votes. Lee Carter, San Francisco, CA – you're wrong to characterize Mitt as running based on his religion. In fact he has done the EXACT opposite of Huckabee. He only made a speech about faith after people continuously hounded him on it. He is running for President of the Unites States, not Pastor of the Unites states like Huckabee. Plain and simple.

That is talking about killing humans. Go back to Genesis where God tells Adam that he has dominion over the animals, or when God says He has given us animals for food.
