perhaps they could have him sit in a chair and let golfers hit balls at him, see how much HE likes it. not much i'd think. i saw that story the other day and thought 'what a jackass'.

this is the first I have heard of this story...

I accidentally killed a squirrel on the golf course once...wasnt trying to hit him at all.

Canadian Geese are a different story. Hate them...all they do is sh*t and reproduce

It's no different than the soldier throwing a puppy off a cliff-totally heinous! It was no accident. He was trying to hit the hawk, what a loser.

I guess your right, but I read one report where witneses heard him say "I'll take care of this", and he kept hitting low shots from 75 yds. until he hit the hawk. That's pretty deliberate.

Im not condoning what he did by anymeans....clearly a stupid ass decision. But his chances of hitting the hawk were very slim.....even slimmer if he was hitting low shots.

Again...imo, it is quite different than actually having a puppy in your hands and just tossing him like the soldier did.

I am quite sure he was hoping to hit one close enough to the bird to get him to fly away. I don't think he or any of the video crew around him (who said nothing to stop him) thought there was any chance in hell that he would actually hit the bird.
