A Long Island Father And Son Confronted A Hunter For Killing A Deer, Immediately Have Their Brains Put In A Blender When The Hunter Says He Killed The Deer For Food

I’m not a big hockey fan and don’t follow the NHL all that closely until the playoffs start in April. But that video has to be the toughest look for Islanders fans since John Tavares’ picture of himself in Maple Leafs PJ’s moved Frankie Borrelli to tears. Every time that father and son combo presented their case for why this hunter was wrong, he hit them upside the head with a Facts Buckshot about eating meat that scrambled their brains.

I get that saying you are eating meat and watching meat get killed are two very different things. Just last week my four-year-old said “Wait, when we eat turkey, we are actually eating turkey?”. In fact, she looked just like the kid in the background that went from quietly hearing the hunter’s side of the story of why he killed the deer:

To straight up drowning in confusion when he said he was going to eat said deer:

I also get that hunting seems like a barbaric hobby to some, especially if you see someone kill a sweet, innocent, harmless, leaf-eating, doe-eyed little deer. Imagine you’re a deer. You’re prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water… BAM! A fucking bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! That visual can be disturbing to kids.

But hunting does serve a purpose as long as you aren’t killing just to slaughter another living creature and instead eat what you hunt, use the furs/antlers/whatever the fuck else can be used by humans, and also control the population so Bambi doesn’t walk in front of your car and put you in the hospital while your car goes to the junkyard. It may not be pretty, but it is the Circle of Life, as is that kid following in his father’s footsteps and graduating from cursing at strangers and hitting their cars with shitty hockey sticks to calling Long Island “Strong Island”  to out-of-towners in a thick rage-filled accent straight out of central casting usually reserved for the three banes of life on Long Island: The Mets, the Jets, and traffic on the L.I.E.

P.S. If you told me the cameraman in this video was Jersey Sports Fan and this was just another video of him bamboozling randos in the Tri-State Area, I would believe you. That’s how calm, cool, collected, and impressive that hunter’s performance was as he was being yelled at by angry New York sports fans. But since there were no Mike Francesa references, I’m going to assume it wasn’t JSF.
