A truly sickening Facebook page...

[happyhunter123]

If you haven't seen it already, Hunting Accidents is a page on Facebook set up by the antis solely to celebrate the deaths of and mock the families of people killed in tragic circumstances out hunting or shooting. It is sickening.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hunting-Accidents/116857018328303

The page is vile to the extreme and has no place on Facebook. It has been reported numerous times-if you haven't done so already, please do so. Unfortunately, Facebook so far don't seem to be listening.

This should not just be reported to Facebook, but to the Police, by as many different people who are offended by this as possible. Such postings DO count as being "grossly offensive" and the police will take action. Report it to the police, get a Unique Crime Number thing, and keep at them until they deal with it. It's a disgusting page, but some good might come of it if an anti or two gets locked up. Report it to your local police - if you do so by phone on 101 it's harder for them to ignore than just if you do it online.

This blog has lots of information on how the Police WILL prosecute people under Grossly Offensive content posted on social media sites. http://inforrm.wordpress.com/2012/1...sly-offensive-communications-eloise-le-santo/

I've reported it. Even standing back and taking no sides on the issue, the act of celebrating deaths of human beings and taking pleasure in tragic accidents is shameful.

 

[shannonandtay]

Iam not pro hunting but reading these comments they are just disgusting, I cannot believe people are saying its fantastic that a woman died from a fall from her horse and how they hope it was slow and painful. We may not all agree on things but to say such sick things about people who have died from tragic accidents beggars belief.

 

[Alec Swan]

I've looked but can't see a direct way to contact those who own and propagate Facebook. is there such a route?

What we read comes from the minds of those who are clearly disturbed, and that the young or the impressionable should read such potentially damaging claims, and such joy, is one aspect of our society which would benefit from being shut down.

Anyone know of contact details? PM me if you'd prefer.

Alec.

 

[meggymoo]

I have reported this to Facebook. Have just received an e mail saying that they cannot confirm that it "violates Facebooks Statement of Rights and Responsibilities". Hmmm.

 

[MerrySherryRider]

Its just vile to take pleasure in tragedy.

Doesn't matter whether they are hunting, shooting, robbing their own granny or drink driving, to celebrate a death or serious injury is unacceptable.

These are people without compassion and decency.

 

[Alec Swan]

The one aspect of the dreadful diatribe of vindictive and disturbed hatred, is that now not only those who fence sit, but many who disagree with hunting through being ill-informed, will see just who they are joining with, and hopefully see those who hunt as, by and large being normal (at least by comparison with some.

I suspect that those who support Facebook with their huge advertising inputs would be the people to approach, and ask if they really want to promote what the sane would see as evil.

I shall contact the two companies listed, and ask if they really want to be associated with such behaviour. a.

 

[Alec Swan]

I've sent the post below to both those Companies, who seem to be supporting the evil proponents of Facebook. I'de suggest that others comment.

"Are you're Company aware that you are advertising and sponsoring a group of people on Facebook, who applaud the deaths of those law abiding citizens who partake in a legal activity?

View your advertisements, and see if you think that your money is well spent!!"

Pressurise Facebook through their advertisers.

Alec.

 

[Alec Swan]

On Monday, if I'm able, I shall contact, the Advertising Executives of those Companies who advertise on that page, including, I notice, Ferrari , and advise them of their possible oversight!

Alec.

 

[Biscuit]

Does anyone know any of the deceased or their families? There is a reporting category for harassment of oneself or someone one knows - perhaps facebook would take it more seriously if reported as harassment? The title celebrating deaths and serious injuries says it all. I hope the children/families of the deceased people never come across this page.

Clearly this is wholly unacceptable conduct and is probably in contravention of both Californian State Law and Federal Law.

I would suggest a sufficient number of telephone calls will cause Facebook to take the page down.

I've just had my comments removed, and those who disagree with the main theme of these disturbed people, have had their "Like" buttons removed. We allow these psychotics the freedom of speech, on here, but it seems that they are unable to afford us the same and basic human rights.

Alec,

This is why I don't do Facebook. My eldest son has a great deal of international experience in 'IT' warned me that this is a potentially dangerous medium for communication.

I receive no end of emails from Facebook on behalf of people who profess to know me and want me to join.

The world is full of people who believe 'freedom of speech' only applies to them and those who agree with them. They should not be given air time. If everyone on this forum who belongs to Facebook were to boycott it for a week I wonder what would happen?

 

[steveb4]

I'm not condoning the facebook page refered to, and I havn't actually seen it.
I do however feel the need to point out that OP refers to two facebook pages that some people myself included find equally offensive.

The facebook pages he\she refers to are probably the work of kids who can be forgiven who created the facebook pages he\she links to ?
Maybe people should ask facebook to get rid of these also.

All these sites try to make a celebration of death and violence and most normal people would find them all "sickening".

Probably not the best place to find agreement but stones and glass houses.
Hunting people find pleasure in killing things, this is far worse than kids glorifying accidents and I'm surprised at the shock of some people to the facebook page when you consider how some of those reading this fill their spare time.

 

[HaffiesRock]

I have reported to Facebook and Crimestoppers.

Disgusting page!

 

[Alec Swan]

.......

Are you a child? Do you have children? If you do have children, would you forgive them for such appalling behaviour? More to the point, if you had children, would you expect, or encourage them to behave like that?

Let us assume that they are children, at what stage in their lives would you consider such behaviour to be unacceptable? Wait until they're 18 perhaps?

Alec.

 

[Crugeran Celt]

That is the strangest page I have seen!! Why would anyone want to put something like that for everyone to read, weird just weird.

 

[steveb4]

If my child was responsible for the Facebook web page they would get a clip around ear, if my child went hunting I'd ask myself where I went wrong.
I'd then pack their bags and disown them.
I can forgive most things but cowardice and murder are not on the list

Oh well, no point in talking to you then as you're clearly an AR looney who doesn't understand hunting. Oh well. There is a thread on H&H called 'let's justify hunting for sport'. Maybe that would be a more appropriate place to have that debate?

Maybe if you went out hunting with them instead of disowning them, you might understand it a bit more (hint: the pleasure of hunting with hounds is not in killing animals)

Anyway, the person in question is not a child, but actually a man in his 30s or so

I don't believe for one moment that you would disown your own child for hunting!! You may not agree with it and you obviously don't want to take part but perhaps you could learn more about it before making such a grand statement as disowning your child. I am not a hunting fan I don't and never have been hunting, I have however read a lot of pro hunting and anti hunting arguments and whilst I will never take part myself, mainly because I am a coward I would not condemn those that wish to hunt. Whatever your believe on hunting this Facebook page cannot be justified, these are real people who have families, who have lost their lives. Can anyone justify it is ok to almost celebrate these deaths just because they were pro hunting?

 

[steveb4]

Lol 2posts, simply pointing out that a lot of people may find a pro hunting Facebook page offensive and I'm an animal rights looney.
Is everything black and white in your world.

I was bought up in the countryside in what was hunting land until they decided to build a motorway through it. I now live in a semi rural area where hunting still goes on. Have friends who shoot, friends who run dairy and sheep farms.

I know a fair bit about hunting, and that's why I don't stereotype those who do it. When you are older you may do the same.

The only thing it's taught me is that it's done for pleasure and pleasure gained through another's suffering is plain and simply immoral.

Hi crugeran

I had no intention of condoning the website, I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of celebrating the death of innocent wildlife and complaint when others do something similar in retaliation.

Not sure everyone would be convinced that a fox is an innocent, just ask my neighbour who has lost many chickens and ducks and even had new born lambs killed. Not sure there is a comparison between hunters who kill foxes and people celebrating the death of fellow humans. Have to agree to disagree on this one I think.

 

[steveb4]

We can't condem all foxes for the actions of a few,many foxes murdered by hunts may never have savoured a nice bit of chicken
What happened to innocent until proven guilty.
Celebrating the death of a human or the death of a fox is celebrating death personally I'm uncomfortable with it.

 

[happyhunter123]

If they don't like it, then they don't have to visit it. Simples. There is NO comparison with a page that celebrates hunting a scent with hounds with a page that celebrates the end of a human life.
I would never want to celebrate the death of a fox anyway. That's not what hunting with hounds is about.

 

[Alec Swan]

Happyhunter123,

I've sent you a PM. I've had responses from 3 companies all of whom have spent hard earned money to advertise alongside this vile filth.

I would encourage all of those who are repulsed by such a facebook page, to seek out the advertising executives of the advertisers, and ask if they really want to be associated with such evil.

The ball is rolling.

Alec.

......., if my child went hunting I'd ask myself where I went wrong.

.......

There seems to me, to be little point in engaging in discussion with someone who wont allow their child the freedom of thought do decide their own moral levels, and who if they don't fall in line with the family patriarch, will have their bags packed, and and they will be disowned, and presumably thrown out.

Alec.

 

[steveb4]

Sorry hunter 123 but I now have point out you don't have visit that web site either.any enough said from me. I was only making a point, that your views could come across slightly hypocritical.

Alec I've read some of your previous posts so I know the kind of person you are, but I must point out that my children could do as they please so long as they had justification for doing it, fox hunting for me just fell into the unjustifiable bracket. If they bought me home a nice bit of venison I would not have complained.

Murder is murder, cowardice is cowardice, maybe I was just fortunate they grew up with a strong morale compass.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty.

Foxes' actions are, in fact, completely outside the English Legal System...
