The hunt is on as three young Canadian boys are seen shooting ducklings on youtube. Brings back memories of a particular marine.

Young boys? They are shooting from the driver's side of a car. When seen at the edge of the pond/lake they sure look like they're in their 20's/30's to me.

Get 4chan after 'em. It'll be worse than a 10,000 dollar fine.

Did you mean to post the same link twice?

Oops, no.

Yeah, the video doesn't work for me but the screenshot shows a balding 30 something.

BTW --- your two hyperlinks are to the same news broadcast.

Duckhunters Hunt. Now that would be a fun video game.

The editorializing in the title is uncalled for. Modern hunters understand the importance of sustainable, responsible population management, which does not include shooting ducklings. They also understand the importance of firearms safety, which does not include driving around with a gun in your lap. Any hunter who saw that video would be justifiably outraged.

The people in the video aren't hunters; they're psychopaths.

What does your 'puhleeze' mean? I'm a hunter and I'm outraged at any egregious killing of this sort. I only hunt what I'm going to eat. Are you implying that hunters would not be outraged at illegal slaughter which both gives their 'sport' a bad name but also destroys the regeneration of the animal stock? It's illegal to shoot sitting ducks, let alone ducklings. I know plenty of hunters that would be outraged by this.

A double-link to a news story and a link to a Google search? Wow, you really put a lot of effort into your first front page post.

As well, it's illegal to hunt "out-of-season."

There's gotta be a 'make way for ducklings' joke in here somewhere.

In this instance of a vague FPP link, Urban dictionary is surprisingly helpful:
A so-called "marine" from Hawaii who threw an innocent puppy off a cliff and video taped it while serving in Iraq. The video has been questioned on its authenticity. Real or fake, possessing the idea to even fake such a stunt is sick and disturbing.

David Mortari must be punished or undergo psychiatric evaluation!
I am now intrigued - does mintkid09 think that there are some puppies who are guilty as hell and deserve to be tossed off a cliff? Was it being kind of a dick?

Before I made this comment, the phrase 'Littlest Cerberus' did not appear anywhere in Google's index of the internet.
