Bill Allows Sightless Serial Killers To Hunt With Lasers in Louisiana

Hidden Valley Lake, Please Halt Cruel Bow Hunts!
From Shreveport Times
Walter Hill is allowed to hunt with a laser thanks to his wife, Margaret, calling Louisiana Representative Henry Burns of Haughton and encouraging him to walk a special bill through the legislature last year.
Signed into law by Gov. Bobby Jindal, HB 39 authorizes the use of laser scopes by visually impaired hunters while hunting with a sighted individual. Prior to the law, sighted hunters had the “daunting” task of looking over an impaired hunter’s shoulder and then trying to guess if a rifle or shotgun was properly aligned to make a clean shot.
The law says you have to have sight of 20/400 or worse.
“In my case, I’m completely blind,” Hill said.
Hill “harvested” his first deer in 36 years in mid December, while hunting in the Benton area with a laser-sighted shotgun. The laser malfunctioned, but the shot came off due to the assistance of a friend.
“We missed two deer last year, but Margaret had a couple of broken ribs and I caught the crud, so we didn’t give it a real good try,” Hill said recently. “I had three laser beams on three different guns and two of them completely failed us. I got the third one yet to go and I’m trying to get some horns.”
The Hills hunt regularly on the Sailes Hunting Club in Bienville Parish, although they’re picky about the day. Walter is 80 and Margaret is 75.
“We can’t take this real cold weather. She has arthritis real bad. We’re mainly afternoon hunters,” Walter said.
“We went in the offseason and took our breakfast and we’d sit up there and see what was going on,” Margaret said. “He would shoot the deer with his camera.”
Margaret Hill, who also has a legally blind son, was spurred to seek the bill after seeing an article in a magazine about a blind Texas hunter who was hunting with a laser scope . She called Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries secretary Robert Barham to ask if she could get a permit for her husband to hunt with a laser.
“He told me absolutely not … that it was against the law,” Hill said. “So I picked up the phone and called Henry, who’s been a long time friend. He just took the ball and ran with it. Sixteen states already had the bill in place.”

According to the National Rifle Association, allowing the use of laser sighting devices will provide visually-impaired hunters a far greater degree of certainty. It will also result in higher success rates and possibly encourage more visually impaired citizens to enjoy hunting in the “Sportsman’s Paradise.”
“Anytime you can ‘harvest’ an animal on a hunt, it makes the trip seem much more worthwhile,” said Justin Griffith, chapter president of the North Louisiana Wheelin’ Sportsmen. “I’m a disabled hunter myself. Any change that helps us hunt easier is a great addition.”

Sports hunters are disturbed people
“For me and many of the people who contact me to offer their support, killing innocent animals for self-gratification is no different from killing innocent people for self-gratification. By extension, then, trophy hunting — the repeated killing of wild animals — should surely be viewed as serial killing. And in the same moral light, humanity’s thinking is, I feel, beginning to approach such a level of morality.”

“So much of animal cruelty… is really about power or control,” Lockwood said. Often, aggression starts with a real or perceived injustice. The person feels powerless and develops a warped sense of self-respect. Eventually they feel strong only by being able to dominate a person or animal.”
- Dr. Randall Lockwood, who has a doctorate in psychology and is senior vice president for anti-cruelty initiatives and training for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Something is very wrong with humans who derive pleasure from and enjoyment of killing animals. If hunters claim they “love” the outdoors and hunting is really “not about killing” then why do they kill? What is the urge for them to kill? “I love hunting, too, but that is it … hunting. Soon a deer’s antler will be falling off and people will be out there, including myself, hunting for the shed antler, but I have no desire to kill a living creature …” Uh huh. In reality those talk about “Hunting as not being about killing” is a flat-out lie because if it’s “not about killing” then you would not kill.
Most recreational hunters do not “hunt”, they just sit in their cowardly tree stands equipped with thousands of dollars worth of accesories and gadgets to lure the deer to them to KILL. Recreational hunters are sadistic serial killers of the animal kingdom who enjoy killing for sports, amusement, and trophies, just as serial killers stalk and kill their human victims for sports, amusement, and trophies. I have even heard that some sport hunters stalk certain victims for a couple of years before they will actually kill the deer for the size of the antler while at the same time killing many other wildlife victims. Recreational hunters need to kill, whether the victims be deer, elk, moose, duck, turkey, swan, pheasants, bear, birds, rabbits: there is always a season for all kinds of kiling to satisfy their bloodlust. What is worse with recreational hunters is that they know they can get away with it and that no one will hear the cries of the animals because it’s legalized cruelty to a living sentient being which makes their killing even more cowardly and evil.
I believe some recreational hunters use the deer to “get back” at women and to them the deer are surrogates for women, on whom to inflict pain and suffering. As far as killing the “big male” during rut season, it is because they, the hunters, could never perform like animals do and they are enraged and jealous. That is why they enjoy killing during the mating season to make up for their sexual inadequacies, and the larger the rack to compensate for their small size. There are women serial killers as well, and the ratio of female-to-male serial killers of humans is very much consistent with the ratio of female-to-male recreational hunters.

Deer being cruelly hunted at Hidden Valley Lake in Indiana | From PETA
Hidden Valley Lake, a neighborhood in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, is killing resident deer in cruel bow hunts. We have been told that a doe is suffering in agony after recently being struck—but not killed—by an arrow.
Bow hunting is among the cruelest forms of hunting! Deer who are shot and wounded by arrows are often tracked by hunters for hours before they are retrieved; many disappear, never to be found. Fawns whose parents have been wounded or killed often starve.
Bow hunting also doesn’t work. As long as the area remains attractive and accessible to deer, more animals will simply move in to fill the voids that are created when others are killed. This hunt is a vicious killing cycle, and many animals will suffer needlessly.
Please politely urge Hidden Valley Lake officials to halt all cruel bow hunts and to explore humane alternatives. Modify/sign HERE

I was dismayed to learn that Hidden Valley Lake is killing resident deer in cruel bow hunts. We are told that a doe is suffering in agony after recently being struck–but not killed–by an arrow.
Bow hunting is among the cruelest forms of hunting! Deer who are shot and wounded by arrows are often tracked by hunters for hours before they are retrieved; many disappear, never to be found.
Fawns whose parents have been wounded or killed often starve.
Removing or killing deer is an ineffective deer-management method, and many animals suffer needlessly. Please halt all bow hunts and implement more humane alternatives.
