Court orders deer poacher to watch ‘Bambi’ repeatedly as part of sentence

Still waiting for some bankers to be forced to repeatedly watch Oliver Twist .

Or Mary Poppins?

Some years back I lived in Pennsylvania, and they had a deer population explosion. The state put a bounty on deer, it was so extreme. I don’t know if the problem is solved now.

I would assume they were taking the heads to a taxidermist, then selling them to rich assholes who want to display a trophy head they didn’t kill. Assholes, all the way down.

Considering the number of deer hunters who shoot themselves or each other every hunting season, do you really want those people running around within city limits shooting at things that they think might be deer?

I also think hunters should go unarmed and naked, to level the playing field (and no cameras, GPS, etc.).

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

I can’t see how a children’s movie is supposed to sway him toward rehabilitation.

Maybe the judge got the idea from that Harmony Hut in Addams Family Values:

Addams Family Values - But, It's Disney

Why? Would a deer being snared in a trap made by a naked person from twigs and rocks be a better end than being shot with a rifle by someone with warm feet?

deer being snared in a trap

I said hunting. No trapping allowed, of course.

All in all, I’m kind of stumped by this logic. Seeing the callous attitude he has for wildlife in the first place, I can’t see how a children’s movie is supposed to sway him toward rehabilitation. Unless it’s meant to aggravate him instead?

I think a few years of having to dress in a deer outfit during hunting season would garner more empathy!

[anon21100188]

That raises the question of why that distinction would matter, but the question remains: why would an animal being killed by a naked person without a weapon be a better end for an animal than being shot by someone ?

I suspect that your point is that you are just in favor of less hunting in general (or none at all) but I don’t want to assume.

Counter-proposal: have him dress in a deer outfit during off season with 16 point rack you can spot a mile away, so he’d only be endangered by other poachers.

Oh Deer! Poacher sentenced to 12 months of regular Bambi screenings in the...

FTA:
Call us pessimistic, but we’re apt to think that a person who regularly killed and decapitated deer won’t be set on the straight and narrow by animated portrayals of the activity. In this case another approach may be warranted.

An informal poll of Reg staffers with young daughters and nieces concluded that a long car ride and the soundtracks of Frozen and Moana are, in fact, significantly worse than monthly viewings of Bambi, but may also run afoul of US laws forbidding cruel and unusual punishment.
