So Tempted To Report Dougie's Hazardous Journey Society!

[justlurking]

To PETA.

hazardousjourneys.org/expeditions/international-expeditions/canada/

So let me get this straight...

You dislike the fact that environmentalists have an "unnecessary" concern about the plight of the polar bear and have used it as a symbol of global protection. You then plan a trip to kill said (innocent) animal (who did not ask to be the face of environmental protection) to somehow prove...what?

And to whom are you attempting to prove anything to?

I know that many people hunt, and that is really not my issue here. I'm disgusted by the careless and wanton act of killing something for no other reason but to make a point and piss other people off. It's not like polar bears are in abundance and encroaching upon areas where humans live. It's not like they plan to use the polar bear for food or some other necessity. They are traveling to the polar bear's domain and killing it for no reason other than to make a statement about their sick, twisted, and MISCONSTRUED concept of "godly dominion". What sick fucks! They would deserve whatever PETA "throws" at em! :angry-fire:

Doooo it. :twisted:

I'm no fan of PETA, but watching them go after Dougie would be hellamusing.

[NurseNell]

This is absolutely stupid and crazy. They want to kill a polar bear just to make their stupid point? No way, we all need to report this, and not just to PETA.

[GeoBQn]

Wouldn't they need a permit to go hunting? Are there such things as polar bear hunting permits?

[NurseNell]

I put a link to the trip's page on my Facebook and wrote this:

Hazardous Journeys Society is an organization founded by Dominionist Doug Phillips, son of the politician Howard Phillips who died this past week. The mission of the organization is "to give glory to God, not man, as part of an exciting effort of world exploration. The purpose of the HJS is to provide teams of intrepid adventurers, photographers, students, scientists, journalists, and naturalists with an opportunity to engage in journeys of discover around the globe and to interpret their findings from a perspective that honors the Creator. " So, to further this mission they will be traveling to the Arctic for the express purpose of killing a polar bear. Why? Because "the polar bear is the iconic symbol of global protection and environmental concern", and they don't like that. I'm not a supporter of PETA but damn, someone needs to stop this trip.

If we all do that and enough people write to PETA and other wildlife organizations maybe this trip can be aborted.

OK, just went and checked up that web page. So, basically they want to kill a polar bear to prove a political point? Not only is Doug Phillips a Tool, he is one fucked up piece of shit.

[justlurking]

Can someone take a screen shot? I don't quite know how to do it myself, but we should save the evidence of this page in case Dougie and Co decide to take the information down. Being the p*ssies that they are, I wouldn't put it past them to remove the information, but continue on with the trip.

[twin2]

Here you go

[Swamptribe]

Just a quick websearch. But, it costs around 35,000 bucks for a permit to kill a polar bear, and you pretty much have to be an Inuit, or buy a permit off an Inuit. It may be illegal to shoot one in the US because they are on the protected list.

Done.

Cost is probably not a factor for them. Maybe though having to have a permit will be the way they don't get to do this.

[ILoveJellybeans]

Disgusting. Polar bears are endangered!

Obviously overcompensating for something...maybe Doug The Tool should get some viagra or something.

[crazyforkate]

Maybe the bear will eat him instead. Although I wouldn't want to wish the subsequent indigestion on the poor bear.

eta: I've sent a link via email to PETA Canada

[formergothardite]

l can't figure out how to report them to peta or l would.

[Maggie Mae]

I figured they were going to do it in Canada because of looser restrictions. We discussed it a little bit on one of the older HJ threads. In the US, you have to have a subsistence permit. There are a limited number that can be taken per year, and it's very dangerous. Doug and company are NOT up to the task. This could be a very bad decision.

I believe this is the link to report cruelty to animals: http://www.peta.org/about/contact-peta/ ... uelty.aspx

Wonder if Dougie and Co. have purchased a permit. Is there any way to look this information up?

Thx to those who took screen shots!

[snarkyjan]

I forwarded a link/screencap to the World Wildlife Fund. Hopefully between them and PETA pressure can be put on Dougie (Is A Tool) and his passel of manly anaconda hunters.

[ThisOlGirl]

Is Dougie trying to become some modern day Ernest Hemingway (minus the woman beating and booze)? If so, I hope Papa himself returns from the grave to whoop Dougie's ass and steal his sled dogs, leaving him stranded in the middle of nowhere.

[Anxious Girl]

Jesus was all about killing animals for sport, doncha know? :roll: After all; the the Tool preached it; so it must be true!11!eleventy1!1.

[Rachel333]

I wonder what makes some Christians see endangered wildlife as "God gave them to us, so we need to protect them" while others see it as "God gave them to us, so we need to exercise our right to kill them all!"

[twin2]

There is some bible verse they quote in Genesis about God giving man "dominion over animals." :roll:

[Marian the Librarian]

Funny, how Dougie's mantra for his "Baby Conference" was "The triumph of life over the culture of death!" Yet he seems to have no compunctions about "reclaiming the axe" (his recent Earth Day post), killing endangered wildlife for sport, or taking down just about anything else he deems suitable for killing. It's called hubris, Dougie. Look it up.

[Knight of Ni]

Dougie has no idea what he's up against. Polar bears are extremely dangerous animals. Polar bears are the only bears known to actively hunt humans. Also when an attack does occur they won't stop because you play dead. Unlike other bear species they will continue to maul you until you are dead. A part of me wants to just say "You guys go have fun" and see what happens.

However, polar bears are critically endangered animals and this definitely shouldn't be allowed. Especially just to prove a point.
