Major-leaguer ripped for hunting from air
A Major League Baseball pitcher is catching heat from an environmental group because of his off-season passion for hunting animals via helicopter.
Logan Kensing, a reliever for the Florida Marlins, is targeted by the Palm Beach County Environmental Coalition.
We want the Marlins to make him agree to stop, the group s co-chair, attorney Barry Silver, told the Palm Beach Post.
Silver sent a strongly worded letter yesterday to team owner Jeffrey Loria.
They have 10 days from Monday to reprimand the player for behavior that isn t one of a role model, he said. If they don t, we will be persistent. We ll infiltrate the fans and pull out signs. We ll picket. If we re willing to have 27 people arrested, it s obvious we re committed.
No, it’s obvious that you should be committed. What kind of worthless 90-lb tofu eatin’ scumballs target a guy’s employer when they disagree with his actions? What if a bunch of us cholesterol-filled normal people went after this dog humpin’ weenie’s employer?
In a Feb. 21 interview with the Post, Kensing raved about his hobby, saying: The pilot s pretty good. He gets right next to them. We spot them, he flies in sideways, glides and we shoot them.
Kensing even provided video of one of his chopper excursions as he scoped for animals on a family ranch in Texas.
An outraged Dan Liftman, a green-minded aide to U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, took the clipping to the monthly meeting of Silver s crew.
I thought it was pretty sick, said Dan Liftman, an aide to U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla. That s his fun? Shooting animals from a helicopter? I think that s a little crazy.
Who gives a rip what you think?
Said Silver: When killing becomes mechanized, it s all too easy. Scientific literature makes it clear that when someone engages in violence against animals, that person is more likely to commit violence against people.
The same old washed-up animal rights wacko argument. If you enjoy killing animals, you enjoy killing people - it isn’t true, so just shut up. I’m so annoyed by this that I’m not even going to try reasoning with this highly flawed logic. Instead, I’ll state the truthful fact that this person is an idiot.
What is so mechanized about this? He’s shooting wild pigs from a helicopter. It isn’t like he’s sticking autonomous machine-gun wielding robots out there.
Kensing remains unapologetic in face of the criticism.
GOOD!
It doesn t bother me, he said. They can come at me if they want to. We make money off our land. Those pigs destroy everything. Each litter, which happens three times a year, is gonna have 12 pigs, and 60 percent are females.
Oh that’s alright - we can just have taxpayer-funded birth control measures to help control the pig population. Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on trapping pigs and shooting them full of hormones makes much more sense than just killing and eating them.
The native Texan, 25, points out he s not committing any crime, adding he and his teammates once rescued an injured baby raccoon on a Florida golf course, nursing it for four days before turning it over to a shelter.
That doesn’t matter. You’re a cold-hearted killing machine that should be locked up forever. You should spend the rest of your life in prison before you snap and start killing children. Bastard.
