Someone find and kill this man.

I agree that the video can be taken very sensitively. Being animal lovers (more specifically - reptile lovers) we'd naturally be more sensitive and taken back by it. But, you can't really change people. It's fortunate there are people like us out there who respect these creatures for the amazing wonders that they are. There will always be someone out there that we dispise and he might be one of them.

On the bright side, he's doing it for food so it's not like he's doing this just to stir up some ecosystems.

Plus, it did provide a good laugh. I mean, just look at the guy!

I'm sure that some people who breed and keep pet rats would say similar things about the feeding videos where someone picks up a rat by the base of the tail and tosses it into a cage with a live snake. It will seem callous to them, and disrespectful to the rat, and cruel to "toss" it, and how dare they pick them up by the tail, swinging them carelessly over to the bin and DROPPING them up to a couple feet?!?!
It's all in what YOU love when you watch any "harvesting" of an animal. Yes, he's being callous to the turtles. It's very hard to emphasize with any reptile, because they DON'T scream, they don't grimace in pain, and they show no expressions. WE emphasize with the animals in the video, becuase WE keep reptiles. To him it's no more cruel than poking cattle to move them into a slaughter pen.
It's callous and somewhat cruel, but I wouldn't be calling for his death, nor condemning a entire country or section of the country. He's just ignorant, and I'd bet that if he ever THINKS from the turtles point of view, he'd be a little more kind while hunting turtles. He'd still hunt them, still kill them for food, but he'd probably be more respectful if he had the education on them and how wonderful and cool they can be.
Just my $0.02

Honestly I spent that whole video just LMAO! Reminds me so much of my buddy Marlow from Basic Training, he was from "Kentucky" (Kan-Tuuuuuck-eeeee) and really honestly one of the nicest guys I ever met but really honestly one of the absolute dumbest people I've had the pleasure of meeting in my life .

Hey, I'll say this for the guy he's got some balls wading in that parasite infested muck to try and find some meat . I bet if people had to wade through mud and sludge up to their chins to get a deer there'd be a LOT fewer people out there hunting them!

i dont think the guy would care any more if he was educated. he looks at it like we do a chicken or cow.

My biggest issue is the laws of kentucky for keeping native species.

Just like snakes...you could kill 30 snakes and lay them out and take photos. Fish and wildlife would not care one bit.

But you keep or sell 30 native snakes w/o the permits watch out!

I look at all animals the same way.
None should be whipped around by their limb, stood on, or kicked around.
Whether they're being killed for food or not, have the moral dignity to treat them with some form of respect.

CAUTION: BITING SARCASM MAY FOLLOW THIS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

I really don't think we should kill this man. I do think someone should follow him home after one of his "hunting" forays. Give him a few minutes to grab a sodey, settle into his Lazy-boy and put on Jerry Springer. Then someone could barge in, stand on his back, make a few wisecracks, drag him by his ankle out to the front porch ( all the while screaming the "rebel-indian" screech)and throw his butt up, out and onto the driveway where his daddy that taught him how to disrespect animals is lying as well, then we could watch them take turns biting each other...We could film it and then watch it on Jerry springer together.

Seriously, The disrespect shown to the turtles is disgusting and I will never buy the " that's the way he was raised argument", I can guarantee you could find someone in his "neck of the woods" one of his children even, that would find his actions as appalling as anyone here.

one of his children

:Shutter: I wouldn't breed his morph. Lol.
