Our beloved local TV station, WNEP-16, has a regular evening feature called "Talkback," which gives viewers a forum to express their take on the stories the station reports on.
A piece on a local sportsman's club wanting to sponsor a live pigeon shoot generated a lot of responses this week. Seems the club wants to privately rent out its grounds to a group of "professional" skeet shooters to do a live shoot. (Yes, I find this rather barbaric and unnecessary, but I don't let it ruffle my feathers either, no pun intended.)
One elderly watcher from Wysox, PA got her undies in a bunch and called the Talkback line, recording this: "Don't you DARE... let those men shoot those birds! Where's the humanity in the human race?"
Hmm... The humanity in the human race...
I understand the point she was attempting to drive home; it just ends up sounding ridiculous, though!
