       [quote]White people simply love to spend their free time walking
       up and down mountains and sleeping in the forest. Search
       "hiking" in Google Images and see how far you have to scroll to
       find a nonwhite person. Ditto rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing,
       and so on. That white people love the outdoors is so widely
       accepted as fact that it's become a running joke. The website
       Stuff White People Like has no less than three entries on the
       subject: "Making you feel bad about not going outside" (#9),
       "Outdoor Performance Clothes" (#87), and "Camping" (#128). The
       latter entry reads, "If you find yourself trapped in the middle
       of the woods without electricity, running water, or a car you
       would likely describe that situation as a 'nightmare' or 'a
       worse case scenario like after plane crash or something.' White
       people refer to it as 'camping.'"
       ...
       Many white Americans who grew up going to the parks had towering
       figures of outdoor history — not to mention family tradition —
       blazing the trail as examples. And those examples, like Daniel
       Boone and the fur trappers of the Old West, tended to be white.
       ...
       As Stuff White People Like says, "In theory camping should be a
       very inexpensive activity since you are literally sleeping on
       the ground. But as with everything in white culture, the more
       simple it appears the more expensive it actually is." You may
       need to fly to your destination; otherwise, you'll need a car
       and a full tank of gas. A backpack, tent, and the necessary gear
       will run you at least $1,000. And then you need some free
       time—which, if you work two jobs, you probably don't have. That
       may explain why 40 percent of outdoor participants come from
       households with incomes of $75,000 or more, according to the
       Outdoor Foundation's report.[/quote]
       Rightists frequently claim that "whites" care more about the
       environment. They seem to think that deriving pleasure from
       activities in wild habitats is the same thing as caring for the
       environment. (Similarly, keeping non-human species from going
       extinct (in order that humans can enjoy their existence) by
       violently forcing them to reproduce is not caring for
       non-humans.) If anything, the opposite is the case. I personally
       avoid hiking etc. in order to minimize the chances of
       accidentally stepping on innocent victims in the process. If for
       some reason I had to hike, I wouldn't be able to enjoy it anyway
       because I would constantly be looking down at the ground and
       worrying about stepping on an innocent victim. In other words,
       the very psychological capacity for enjoying hiking is already
       sufficient evidence of their lack of care for those who might be
       impacted by it.

       Ignore Kasparian's stupidity about "endangered species", which
       is part of the problem. If all endangered species had been
       allowed to go extinct (as would have been the case in absence of
       Western civilization), there wouldn't even have been an elephant
       for LaPierre to shoot in the first place.

       Growing up, upon learning about Jainism and their practice of
       covering their faces in order to minimize harming insects, I
       would always look down at the ground before stepping outside my
       house to avoid stepping on ants. Alas, I have lost this level of
       high sensitivity, but sincerely wish I could get it back.

       Here is another example of what Westerners mean when they say
       they "love" wildlife:
  HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/did-wildlife-lover-become-one-100029357.html
       [quote]How did a wildlife lover become one of the bloodiest
       poachers in California history?
       ...
       A cottonwood tree near the Parkers’ home was strung up with
       grisly ornamentation – several dead raptors, all at varying
       stages of decomposition. Other bodies were scattered around the
       tree’s base, approximately a dozen in all.
       ...
       The dead raptors recovered on that day in 2018 were only the tip
       of a blood-red iceberg.
       Richard Parker, a seemingly ordinary country gentleman, appeared
       to have a secret, sadistic hobby and the anonymous tipster had
       led Kinnard to uncover one of the bloodiest poaching cases in
       California history.
       ...
       Recollecting the broader examination of the property, Kroll
       describes a scene of complete carnage within a 300-yard radius
       of the Parker home. “Every bird within reach of his house,
       anything he could hit, was lying there on the ground. Dozens and
       dozens of carcasses.”
       ...
       “As he entered his property by vehicle, any raptors he’d see
       perched along the access road he’d shoot,” Kroll says. “It was a
       row of dots along the road and around his home.”
       ...
       The man who relished the hunt
       The man wildlife agents took into custody that day had not
       necessarily lived a life indicative of a future sport killer.
       Richard Earl Parker was born and raised in Lassen county. He
       graduated from Susanville high school, and after receiving his
       bachelor’s degree from Sacramento State University in 1973, he
       returned to the area to settle down.
       ...
       Indeed, local residents tell the Guardian that Parker viewed the
       Honey Lake Valley as a manor and himself as its lord.
       And like all standard-issue country gentlemen, Parker relished a
       stalk and a hunt.
       Sport hunting in many parts of rural America sits at an awkward
       philosophical crossroads between conservationism and
       libertarianism. On the one hand, there is a rationale for the
       preservation of wild lands, which arises from a mixture of
       legitimate appreciation for nature and simple supply-and-demand
       economics: better habitats attract more creatures to hunt. On
       the other hand, there is a natural tension between the autonomy
       of the hunter and the conservationist machinations of the state.
       ...
       In the late 1990s, shortly after purchasing the property in
       Standish, Parker asked state forestry authorities to set a
       controlled fire on his land. Parker thought the riverside
       property was a perfect nesting ground for waterfowl. But at the
       time, it was infested with whitetop, an invasive weed that
       chokes out competing grasses.
       The controlled blaze, administered in November 1999, wiped out a
       mat of whitetop and made way for the area’s natural weeds and
       grasses to take root.
       “What I was going to grow was wildlife, little critters,
       waterfowl,” Parker told the Lassen County News just after the
       fire. “My interest is to have birds and wildlife around me.”
       ...
       “Poaching can be taking one too many trout from a pond, or
       redirecting a creek on your own property,” says Foy. “But there
       are individuals who seem to enjoy killing for the sake of
       killing,” he says, noting that in cases where the body count is
       as high as Parker’s, it is difficult to identify a motive other
       than rank cruelty or sadism.
       “Who knows what the true extent was,” Kroll says of Parker’s
       crimes. “We uncovered a hundredfold more than we assumed we’d
       find. But things don’t last long in the wild. The true extent of
       the carnage was probably much greater. We truly think that his
       kill number was so much higher than what we were able to
       collect.”[/quote]
       Of course the government is no better:
       [quote]“Because of the case disposition, a huge sum of money
       went back into community conservation and education programs,”
       he explains. Per the California fish code, 10% of fish and
       wildlife-related fines go to individual county fish and game
       commissions, which can reinvest those funds to the benefit of
       local ecology. Seventy-five hundred dollars goes a long way in
       Lassen county.
       “They might donate the money to a fishing program for inner-city
       youth,” Kroll says,[/quote]
       This is why our enemies can write seriously a line like the
       following that we couldn't even write in parody:
  HTML https://vdare.com/posts/was-sean-connery-the-ideal-james-bond
       [quote]Fleming loved wildlife and loved killing it. When his
       friend King George VI died in 1952, Fleming wrote in his diary,
       ” “I think he was a very good, but probably not a great,
       shot.”[/quote]
       This "love" is probably the same type of "love" described by the
       BGM you recently posted:

       Along similar lines, they describe fishing as an activity for
       "peaceful" people, even as every fish taken out of water goes
       through at least as much suffering as George Floyd. Oh wait:
