muggs Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm giving a short speech on a persuasive topic tonight (as usual, just started working on it now ) anyway, I'm going to talk about the benefits of controlled urban deer kills to reduce overpopluated herds in areas that don't have enough land to support such a large number of deer. I got all my info, but I want to think of possible questions all the animal rights nuts in the crowd might ask me. That way I can be prepared and shred them in a debate. So, what should I expect?

AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: persuasive speech topic...need help Got to explain to them Muggs that car/deer collisions are on the rise and people are dying as a result. The insurance companies want the herds down as well! Good luck my friend, you'll do fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguide Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: persuasive speech topic...need help Maybe you could do a slide show of putting a condom on a 170 class buck to dispel the effectiveness of that method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Possible answer: "Why don't I hit your kids in the yard with my car. Because everything is about control of yourself and using common sense. More people are killed in car wrecks every day than are killed by hunters in a decade." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: persuasive speech topic...need help What makes you think urban hunting is safe for inocent bystanders/kids/old people/etc? What happens to the deer after they're so brutally murdered? We have too many people, should we have a controlled hunt for them too? Do you think deer have souls? Will they go to Heaven after you murder them? Why do you WANT to kill deer at all? Why not just leave them alone as Mother Nature intended? Will you be killing the cute little baby deer too? I don't want MY kids to ever see a dead deer. How can you guarantee they won't be exposed to that sight? What will I tell my kids when they ask me why someone is killing all of the deer? How will you know when you've killed enough deer? What if you kill too many or not enough? Will this hunt happen every year, or is it a one time thing? Yeah I know these sound stupid to us, but I think it's representative of what you may encounter if there ARE animal rights wackos present. In other words, be ready for the irrational, emotion driven questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Re: persuasive speech topic...need help nothing you can say will convince some. concentrate on the majority of open minded folks. remind them that god wants us to eat meat. (predators have eyes in front, grazers have eyes on the side. meat eaters have eye teeth, grazers do not.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralsaskhunter Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Re: persuasive speech topic...need help Superguide, this is a family forum!!!!! ! One thing that you have to point out is that even they are killing deer by living... people are taking their habitat and making homes on them.... its the way of life.
