Bleeh Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 It's quiet simple. I've been both complemented, and kindly asked to remove - my current Avatar. To be honest, I don't find it offensive at all, just one of those heart-pounding moments some shooting-men dreams of. But still, should it stay or should it go?

Breastman Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I can't say either way as my work computers firewall has stripped it off and i'm left with a little red cross! Or is having a cross on your avatar offensive now!? It must be something special as the avatars with the bouncing breasts etc are still allowed!

JohnGalway Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I didn't vote because I rarely take notice of avatars to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Like with the now deleted big game footage I do not see any problem with any legal form of hunting done humanely. I think if you so much as shoot a rat it is difficult to disagree with shooting anything.In the case of your avatar it is one of the few occasions where the hunter is actually in an almost equal fight. I have much less problem with my kid looking over my shoulder with this than some of the raunchy stuff.Thats just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I had to vote no because i personally do not like to see picture s of dead or shot game on this open forum . Pictures of shot game do not bother me at all ,i have sot plenty in my time . The thing that do bother me is that some pictures can be ammunition for the antis ,plus i dont see any good reason to post pictures of dead game . Harnser .

Axe Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Since you've asked, I voted no. I don't agree with trophy hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Since you've asked, I voted no. I don't agree with trophy hunting. didn't you like the CWD tusks on the other thread? could also have been one that was eating local villagers, often African shooting sells the rights to problem lions or elephants but thats a differnt discussion altogether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 ********. I clicked 'No' in response to the thread's title. I actually like your avatar. But Elvis and al4x win the Best Avatar Award by a country mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markb Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 What avatar? and al4x takes so long to down load I,ve never seen the end result, does she, does she?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 What avatar? and al4x takes so long to down load I,ve never seen the end result, does she, does she?? She sure does, but it is on a long loop, so you only actually see the full (monty) clip once every 20 cycles. Worth it though ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeinVA Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I voted that it wasnt offensive, but it has made me change my mind about posting a clip in my avitar of clubbing harp seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusta Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 If you dont have an avatar to show how can we vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I voted that it wasnt offensive, but it has made me change my mind about posting a clip in my avitar of clubbing harp seals brings a whole new meaning to the term going clubbing at the weekend i voted dont care, simply because it took so long to load i couldnt watch it all but seriousley, plenty of people have avatars that some people could take offence at (not mentioning ANYTHING for fear of starting a row!) whats so bad about yours?!

Ferret Master Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I think people have taken offence because it is footage of canned hunting. For those who the video isn't loading for, it's that famous clip of some yanks shooting at a charging lion and dropping it at their feet.

LXX73 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Since you've asked, I voted no. I don't agree with trophy hunting. Unless it's done in Afghanistan then it's fair game. Edited April 21, 2009 by LXX73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death from below Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 its a real shame the lion didn't achieve its objectives. I'd rather see humans being hunted than beautiful beasts like that. Its a shame simba didn't get the hunters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksaplenty Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I love your avatar, so I voted no; it's not offensive. Or, should that have been yes; I like your avatar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
