Thread Name: BS: Troy Gentry Guilty in Tame Bear Killing
Subject: RE: BS: Troy Gentry Guilty in Tame Bear Killing
This feeble excuse for a man (Gentry?--(is this what gentry do?)--should be banned from hunting-- and not just in Minnesota. At least in the whole US. And not just for 5 years----for life. And pay at least the $400,000 maximum his "hunting guide" may face. And community service along the lines already suggested by other posters.

And have to explain to his little daughters exactly why he had to do all this. Possibly on nationwide TV.

But--one good thing about the fact that this is now public. The publicity stemming from this will not help his career in the least--even without Humane Society etc. involvement.

Not all "country music"-- (even 70's rock under another name, which is basically what commercial "country music" is these days)-- fans, contrary to what some Mudcatters may fondly believe, are slavering yahoos. Even some Toby Keith fans are not complete Neanderthals. Many "country music" fans do know the difference between hunting and the disgusting travesty of it in which Mr. Gentry engaged.

And they may even adjust their country music buying habits-- CD's and concerts---unless they feel a need to "make a statement" against perceived PETA etc. harassment that may now arise.
