I have been proudly stealing Mike's Jimmy Fallon parasite joke for six years and getting some of the biggest laughs in my life doing so. Every time his name comes up in conversation (which is rare, admittedly) I get SO GODDAMN EXCITED.
So, just like Mike, I Googled Larry "Tree" Lonik and came across this: "Yes, unfortunately it is true. Larry was mushroom hunting with friends near Louisiana, MO. He got separated from them and the ATV became tangled in some vines which caused it to flip on top of him - with no noticeable injuries. At that point he righted the ATV and rode it back to meet his hunting partners. They then went to dinner. At dinner, Larry complained of being sore and remarked that he would probably be even sorer tomorrow. His friends insisted that he go to the hospital to be x-rayed for broken bones. While at the hospital he was joking with the nurse and then "seized" and died immediately. The coroner has listed the cause of death as heart failure."
I didn't realize he died hours later at the hospital. That's way less funny than how imagined it. I thought he was crushed to death by a dump truck full of mushrooms. But the way it really happened is still pretty funny too.
+Kolbe Howard Hopefully the second one is Exploding Varmits: Part Deux, and then Charlie Sheen comes in spoofing off of the psycho from the first part.
Mike’s cadence and word choices during his moments of being really funny shows me he’s a huge fan of Norm Macdonald. He does a great job of harnessing Norm’s style for laughs and I love it.
Reminds me of the Hobbit films, if only Gregg Turkington knew... also maybe someone could tell him that Tim used to run the Lightning Fast VHS Shop. Either way Motherload is a five-bagger for sure.
The tune playing at 11:19 in Motherlode is called Rory O'More, an old irish jig. While not an MMORPG, it is featured in Bioshock Infinite, so theres that.
I remember a National Geographic (or some other similar educational organization, I forget for sure) video that showed similar footage of prairie dogs being disintegrated with sniper rifles. My degenerate 9th grade science teacher played it in class. A bunch of the female students started crying. Shout outs to public education.
RLM missed over perhaps the most humourous part of that 'tribute' to Larry Lonik, which was the revelation that his brothers are named Barry and Gary. What a family
Here's the thing: I live in Australia. We have certain species of introduced animals that are classified as pests and we have to kill them to keep them from destroying the native populations. Feral cats and cane toads are good examples. ...But we don't take any pride or enjoyment in the fact that we have to kill these animals. Pragmatically speaking, unless you have a need that requires fulfilling, it makes no sense to go around killing animals needlessly.
fun (and horrible) fact: the Exploding Varmints was filmed on my family’s property in Northern California, AKA the Frost Stump Ranch! it’s been in the family for generations (i’m the eighth if I recall). we had a SERIOUS gopher problem in the 80s/90s and my grandpa knew this guy, so he helped take care of it. one of the .22s he used was my great grandfather’s. sadly, the property burned down in August 2021, so if anyone has a copy of this tape I would kill to own it and yeah, this is really the way most ranchers get rid of gophers. genuinely they put pipe bombs underground to get rid of them. it’s horrifying.
They really underestimated how long the Flint water joke would be topical and overestimated the state of Michigan's ability to stop fucking up even after being caught fucking up.
I live five minutes from Flint Michigan and even drank from the water before it was revealed that it was contaminated. I can safely say that it fucking sucks here and the government really has no fucking idea how to fix the piping system. It's going to cost them literally billions down the road to fix the infrastructure.
That mushroom dude was as close as you're gonna get to a real-life Batman villain. He was just one industrial accident away from becoming "The Fungus"!
When Mike says "a lot of bad things happened on September of 2001." the screen should have been filled with posters for movies like Glitter with Mariah Carey, The Musketeer, Jekyll and Hyde The Musical with David Hasselhoff and so on.
13:45 Jacks face is shocked at what he sees until it slowly turns to pure joy to watch things he’s only dreamed of. He hides his delight from the others because they “wouldn’t understand”
Sayanora In Death Wish 3, between him showing his gun off to his neighbors, and then him mowing down "creeps" with a .30 cal machinegun, i'd say he was enjoying it deep down.
My father works on a horse ranch and has had to go out shooting groundhogs before because they dig holes which the horses step in and break their legs, then you have to shoot the horse. Poisoning them isn't safe because you'll poison the horses, and I doubt it would be more humane either. Not sure if there is actually a better way, but I agree that taking THAT much joy in exploding groundhogs is kinda messed up.
Haha! First those were Bison not Buffalo, and second they were almost driven to extinction, so implying that none of them died by breaking a leg is pretty funny, nice troll!~
+AlexanderArts I think that your father and his co-workers should be working in a better way to get rid of the gophers. You're probably messing the ecosystem with all the kills.
+Palpy From what I understand the groundhogs are overpopulated because the farm provides them with too much extra food and a safe place without predators, so the ranch hands have to take the place of the predators.
AlexanderArts I understand. But their meat is not being used, so it's a waste. I think they should come up with better ideas. We have certainly the knoledge and technolodgy to do that.
No seriously; legend has it George hires a dozen midgets a year to dress up as Ewoks and run around his ranch so he can blow their heads off with a .50 calibre sniper rifle lol
How to recognize different types of mushrooms from a very short distance away. Number 1: The morel, the morel, the morel And now, number 1: the morel, the morel, the morel.
Ok, gotta say this about shooting pest animals. 1. The Exploding Varmints guy isn't a hunter. Hunters don't take joy in exploding living things. Look at any serious hunters' website, and you will see them talking about the ethics of hunting and the importance of a good, clean kill where the animal doesn't suffer. Whatever rounds EV guy was shooting at those varmints were way, way too much. A low-powered .22 would have been plenty and it wouldn't have exploded them. He chose to explode them rather than just kill them. Also, the guy is using a powerful scope even though he is only firing at medium range. He just wanted to see exploding animals up close, not to hunt or exterminate them. Exploding Varmints is basically just GORE PORN. 2. Poison is usually not very humane at all. Poisons don't cause the animal to lie down and fall into an endless sleep. Usually they do something terrible like rupture the blood vessels in the lungs so that the animal drowns in their own blood, or blocks up their intestines so that they explode after days and days of excruciating pain. Awful stuff. And, worse yet, if something like a carrion bird or coyote eats the poisoned corpse, they can also be poisoned and suffer the same painful death. Spreading deadly poison all over your land isn't a very humane or ethical or environmentally friendly or intelligent choice. 3. A good, clean kill is a quick kill, preferably instantaneous, that doesn't dismember the animal or cause any unneeded suffering. Guns are very good at that. Some traps are, too, depending on the animal and the trap, but traps aren't usually practical for land with hundreds of varmints. The only good solution is a quick death at range. 4. Varmints aren't harmless. They're being killed because they cause harm to cattle and property, and in some cases can be dangerous to people.
+Jim Self You don't make clean kills by using the least powerful cartridge you can get away with using. That's actually the worst way to ensure a humane kill. And no, you can't humanely hunt prairie dogs with .22lr. Typical shots on prairie dogs happen at 300 or more yards. Go try to shoot a tin can with your 10/22 from 300 yards. Tell me about how you're going to make a heart/lung shot on a 5 pound rodent at 300 yards with a .22lr. Because that's what you're going to have to do to humanely take them with a .22lr As opposed to shooting them with an extremely high velocity round with a projectile specifically made for shooting varmints at long range, where you can hit them pretty much anywhere on their body for an instant kill.
+fatbeer85 Varmint rounds ARE typically SMALL caliber rounds propelled at extreme velocity. A 50 to 60 gr 5.56 moving around 3200 fps muzzle velocity would make a little critter explode, easily. In fact, that IS a popular varmint hunting round. And no, a .50 cal round will not kill something via near miss. And they don't issue 5.56 to soldiers to be humane to enemy soldiers. They do it because it does the job just as good in any situation the average soldier is likely to be in as the previous standard issue ammo, but it's smaller and lighter so they can carry more of it. That's what's called an Apples to Oranges analogy (human warfare vs prairie dog hunting). You might get a few shots at prairie dogs at 50 yards. If it's some place that's never been hunted. 200-300 or more yards is alot more typical. The "gore" is irrelevant to the critter's feelings. They're using high velocity rounds because they shoot flatter, further, and impart alot of energy on a small area. That's varmint hunting. The only thing using less powerful ammo would do is alleviate the suffering of the people who can't stand to watch graphic violence. It's fine if graphic violence isn't your thing. Just don't conflate your feelings with the critters'. I guarantee you, a prairie dog exploded into a million pieces feels alot less pain for a shorter time than one who gets mortally wounded and then crawls off somewhere to bleed to death.
+fatbeer85 "And again, that guy was within 100 meters of his target. a .22 rifle would have sufficed." the exploding round ensures virtually painless instant death, .22 doesn't, so why would you tone down?
So I talked to a guy that knew a lot more about this than I did. He says it's common to use an outsized round when killing varmints. You WANT the overkill to make sure you don't just wound the critter. With larger creatures it would be inhumane, because they'd be more likely to survive a while before succumbing to the wound, and with game of course you want to preserve the meat. With little ones, you just want to make 100% sure they're dead, period. Still, this doesn't change the fact that EV Guy is getting off on exploding small animals. Heck, I'd laugh too, but I wouldn't go around saying "Oh yeah man, I love this! This is excellent!"
+fatbeer85 First of all, no a .50 cal round cannot dismember someone from a near miss. I've shot bolt action .50s, and never once have I seen it destroy the target stand. That's because it's a myth that you've never witnessed and are only repeating from other people who never witnessed it. You have no idea what range the guy was at. Considering it was 500 shots, I'm guessing it was alot of different ranges. Most of which were probably not within 100 yards. You're right. He wasn't "hunting." Personally, I wouldn't touch a Prairie dog. They're known to carry fleas that carry bubonic plague. I'd let the scavengers have the remains.
To be fair, I've lost count how many times I've been through the whole playlist since I found RLM about 4 years ago. lol I get why they don't, but I'd be in heaven if they had daily content like a lot of other channels. An occasional BoTW live would be an amazing treat.

I worked surveying Prairie Dogs for the USFS a few years ago, and while I understand the need to kill them when they interfere in ranching, the pure, recreational joy people got in just killing them in the field kinda got to me. Prairie Dogs are social animals, and they have genuine behavior to care about each other (though I won't sugarcoat it, they'll also eat their dead when times get tough). The thing was, the people I talked to really didn't usually have a stake in the game or cattle they were worried about, they just wanted to shoot living targets. This was on National Grassland, where we strictly monitored the populations and told them "No, these animals have already been decimated by the plague, come back in a few years". It's just fucking weird to me, that people take pleasure in killing things for sport, when they have no stake in them and it can even harm other animals. The drop in P-Dog towns really hurt Burrowing Owls and Swift Fox in that area, and the Black-Footed Ferret in others.... I hesitate to call them psychopaths, but at the very least they clearly don't understand the cascading interactions of ecology.
I think you're free to say that people who enjoy murdering other living beings for sport have something wrong with them, anyone trying to cope by saying it's how they get in touch with their masculinity isn't worth listening to.
To be fair, there's a certain enjoyment in hunting anything. It's engraved in our DNA, in the same way a cat enjoys murdering mice and lizards, or a dog loves tearing the shit out of a chew toy. Hunting dozens of invasive hogs in Texas was the most fun I've ever had. And there's nothing wrong with that. Humans understand the need to deal with infestations. No shame in those endorphins. But yeah, Prarie dogs are cute and I wouldn't ever shoot one...
@@Mister_Clean Frankly I'd say it has more to do with cultural belief systems than a primal satisfaction from hunting. Plenty of cultures don't take satisfaction in it, but understand it as a necessity for nutritional needs.
It literally says "exploding" and shows a prairie dog in a crosshair. So sure, unless your kindergarten teacher was secretely another student, this didnt happen.

3:19 You so rarely see Mike's genuine adoration of Rich and why he really enjoys the guy's presence (I mean, in the last Wheel of the Worst he was cuddled up on his little teddy bear) but this moment really seems to show Mike regressing into a child from Rich's joke. Fuck that laugh reminds me of an actual baby. Like he actually DOES have a soul.

Rich: "I thought you were drinking water from Flint, Michigan!" Mike: "Heyooo, topical! Already out of date by the time you watch this video!" almost 2 and a half years later and...nope
Great episode. Jack, a "grain" is a unit of weight. A grain is 1/7000th of a pound. It can refer to either the weight of the bullet, or the weight of the charge of power (how much powder) in the cartridge. That said, "splodin" the varmints is about the only way to do it, humanely. You can't poison them, because it will harm scavengers as secondary consumers of the poison. This is why the EPA has gone after rat poison in recent years, forcing them to severely reduce the strength of their products. I sure as hell wouldn't record, edit, and market a video of myself blowing away varmints and making creepy commentary. That really doesn't do the shooting sports or hunting any good, as the RLM crew reactions can attest.
You know, I'm not gonna lie, Mother Lode seems like it'd make a great cozy little sleep aid video. The combination of forest footage and celtic folk music makes me feel like I'm in the Shire or something.
Lmao that exploding varmints tape got 1000x more disturbing once the guy started laughing about it and said it was "excellent". Like hes really laughing and having a good time from exploding small animals.
Sassy Driving Lad there's tons of videos of people shooting prairie dogs, hunting coyotes with dogs, while they laugh maniacally and tell horrible jokes like 'uh oh here comes his friend checking him out huh huh huh'. And just because I think those guys are creeps and weirdos doesn't mean I'm some dummy that thinks it isn't necessary. The comments are just creepy. And people that sit there watching these videos getting off are creeps.
Luis Colin And like they said in the video, it has nothing to do with the guy wanting to protect his neighbors crops or livestock. He just wants to kill little creatures while he giggles and breathes heavily.
meh, fuck prairie dogs. I understand your sentiment but growing up on a farm you learn to hate prairie dogs and realize how disastrous they are. If this was shooting other animals I'd prolly feel the same way as you, but not with these goddamn asshole prairie dogs.
Real simple. Grain count is the mass/weight of the bullet itself, minus the casing, powder, and primer. High grain count = heavy bullet. Heavy bullet + high speed = lotsa energy. Lotsa energy + tiny critter = 'splosion.
Jack trying to explain bullets makes me cringe every time. Starting off with the "I grew up on a farm and around guns so I know a thing or two" said everything.

So, just like Mike, I Googled Larry "Tree" Lonik and came across this:
"Yes, unfortunately it is true. Larry was mushroom hunting with friends near Louisiana, MO. He got separated from them and the ATV became tangled in some vines which caused it to flip on top of him - with no noticeable injuries. At that point he righted the ATV and rode it back to meet his hunting partners. They then went to dinner. At dinner, Larry complained of being sore and remarked that he would probably be even sorer tomorrow. His friends insisted that he go to the hospital to be x-rayed for broken bones. While at the hospital he was joking with the nurse and then "seized" and died immediately. The coroner has listed the cause of death as heart failure."

Here's the thing: I live in Australia. We have certain species of introduced animals that are classified as pests and we have to kill them to keep them from destroying the native populations. Feral cats and cane toads are good examples.
...But we don't take any pride or enjoyment in the fact that we have to kill these animals. Pragmatically speaking, unless you have a need that requires fulfilling, it makes no sense to go around killing animals needlessly.
Yes, but Australia is not a country that actively encourages its denizens to be psychopaths

fun (and horrible) fact: the Exploding Varmints was filmed on my family’s property in Northern California, AKA the Frost Stump Ranch! it’s been in the family for generations (i’m the eighth if I recall). we had a SERIOUS gopher problem in the 80s/90s and my grandpa knew this guy, so he helped take care of it. one of the .22s he used was my great grandfather’s. sadly, the property burned down in August 2021, so if anyone has a copy of this tape I would kill to own it
and yeah, this is really the way most ranchers get rid of gophers. genuinely they put pipe bombs underground to get rid of them. it’s horrifying.
Its actually awesome

My father works on a horse ranch and has had to go out shooting groundhogs before because they dig holes which the horses step in and break their legs, then you have to shoot the horse. Poisoning them isn't safe because you'll poison the horses, and I doubt it would be more humane either. Not sure if there is actually a better way, but I agree that taking THAT much joy in exploding groundhogs is kinda messed up.
Haha! First those were Bison not Buffalo, and second they were almost driven to extinction, so implying that none of them died by breaking a leg is pretty funny, nice troll!~
+pianokid100 There's nothing logical about getting an erection from exploding small animals, but sure, society is just too dogmatic.
+AlexanderArts I think that your father and his co-workers should be working in a better way to get rid of the gophers. You're probably messing the ecosystem with all the kills.
+Palpy From what I understand the groundhogs are overpopulated because the farm provides them with too much extra food and a safe place without predators, so the ranch hands have to take the place of the predators.
AlexanderArts I understand. But their meat is not being used, so it's a waste. I think they should come up with better ideas. We have certainly the knoledge and technolodgy to do that.

That "HIV AIDS and Older Women" being about old women who take care of AIDS patients sounds like a sitcom in the Robocop universe.
Ok, gotta say this about shooting pest animals.
1. The Exploding Varmints guy isn't a hunter. Hunters don't take joy in exploding living things. Look at any serious hunters' website, and you will see them talking about the ethics of hunting and the importance of a good, clean kill where the animal doesn't suffer. Whatever rounds EV guy was shooting at those varmints were way, way too much. A low-powered .22 would have been plenty and it wouldn't have exploded them. He chose to explode them rather than just kill them. Also, the guy is using a powerful scope even though he is only firing at medium range. He just wanted to see exploding animals up close, not to hunt or exterminate them. Exploding Varmints is basically just GORE PORN.
2. Poison is usually not very humane at all. Poisons don't cause the animal to lie down and fall into an endless sleep. Usually they do something terrible like rupture the blood vessels in the lungs so that the animal drowns in their own blood, or blocks up their intestines so that they explode after days and days of excruciating pain. Awful stuff. And, worse yet, if something like a carrion bird or coyote eats the poisoned corpse, they can also be poisoned and suffer the same painful death. Spreading deadly poison all over your land isn't a very humane or ethical or environmentally friendly or intelligent choice.
3. A good, clean kill is a quick kill, preferably instantaneous, that doesn't dismember the animal or cause any unneeded suffering. Guns are very good at that. Some traps are, too, depending on the animal and the trap, but traps aren't usually practical for land with hundreds of varmints. The only good solution is a quick death at range.
4. Varmints aren't harmless. They're being killed because they cause harm to cattle and property, and in some cases can be dangerous to people.
+Jim Self
You don't make clean kills by using the least powerful cartridge you can get away with using. That's actually the worst way to ensure a humane kill.
And no, you can't humanely hunt prairie dogs with .22lr. Typical shots on prairie dogs happen at 300 or more yards. Go try to shoot a tin can with your 10/22 from 300 yards. Tell me about how you're going to make a heart/lung shot on a 5 pound rodent at 300 yards with a .22lr. Because that's what you're going to have to do to humanely take them with a .22lr
As opposed to shooting them with an extremely high velocity round with a projectile specifically made for shooting varmints at long range, where you can hit them pretty much anywhere on their body for an instant kill.
+fatbeer85
Varmint rounds ARE typically SMALL caliber rounds propelled at extreme velocity.
A 50 to 60 gr 5.56 moving around 3200 fps muzzle velocity would make a little critter explode, easily. In fact, that IS a popular varmint hunting round. And no, a .50 cal round will not kill something via near miss. And they don't issue 5.56 to soldiers to be humane to enemy soldiers. They do it because it does the job just as good in any situation the average soldier is likely to be in as the previous standard issue ammo, but it's smaller and lighter so they can carry more of it. That's what's called an Apples to Oranges analogy (human warfare vs prairie dog hunting).
You might get a few shots at prairie dogs at 50 yards. If it's some place that's never been hunted. 200-300 or more yards is alot more typical.
The "gore" is irrelevant to the critter's feelings. They're using high velocity rounds because they shoot flatter, further, and impart alot of energy on a small area. That's varmint hunting.
The only thing using less powerful ammo would do is alleviate the suffering of the people who can't stand to watch graphic violence.
It's fine if graphic violence isn't your thing. Just don't conflate your feelings with the critters'. I guarantee you, a prairie dog exploded into a million pieces feels alot less pain for a shorter time than one who gets mortally wounded and then crawls off somewhere to bleed to death.
+fatbeer85
"And again, that guy was within 100 meters of his target. a .22 rifle would have sufficed."
the exploding round ensures virtually painless instant death, .22 doesn't, so why would you tone down?
So I talked to a guy that knew a lot more about this than I did. He says it's common to use an outsized round when killing varmints. You WANT the overkill to make sure you don't just wound the critter. With larger creatures it would be inhumane, because they'd be more likely to survive a while before succumbing to the wound, and with game of course you want to preserve the meat. With little ones, you just want to make 100% sure they're dead, period.
Still, this doesn't change the fact that EV Guy is getting off on exploding small animals. Heck, I'd laugh too, but I wouldn't go around saying "Oh yeah man, I love this! This is excellent!"
+fatbeer85 First of all, no a .50 cal round cannot dismember someone from a near miss. I've shot bolt action .50s, and never once have I seen it destroy the target stand. That's because it's a myth that you've never witnessed and are only repeating from other people who never witnessed it.
You have no idea what range the guy was at. Considering it was 500 shots, I'm guessing it was alot of different ranges. Most of which were probably not within 100 yards.
You're right. He wasn't "hunting." Personally, I wouldn't touch a Prairie dog. They're known to carry fleas that carry bubonic plague. I'd let the scavengers have the remains.
"Ironically he fell down the stairs." lol

what if Exploding Varmints Part 2 is told from the prairie dogs' perspective, like Watership Down.
Or like Letter's from Iwo Jima and the other fuckin' movie, Flags of our Fathers?
So would Exploding Varmints count as a snuff film?
Nah, I think they'd have to have sex with the varmints before exploding them for it to be a snuff film.
Nah snuff is just videos of human murder, besides people get off to that shit thats why theres a whole section but usually there's rape first. But other times you just get live beheadings, dismemberment, etc.

Heavens-piercing
I worked surveying Prairie Dogs for the USFS a few years ago, and while I understand the need to kill them when they interfere in ranching, the pure, recreational joy people got in just killing them in the field kinda got to me.
Prairie Dogs are social animals, and they have genuine behavior to care about each other (though I won't sugarcoat it, they'll also eat their dead when times get tough).
The thing was, the people I talked to really didn't usually have a stake in the game or cattle they were worried about, they just wanted to shoot living targets. This was on National Grassland, where we strictly monitored the populations and told them "No, these animals have already been decimated by the plague, come back in a few years".
It's just fucking weird to me, that people take pleasure in killing things for sport, when they have no stake in them and it can even harm other animals. The drop in P-Dog towns really hurt Burrowing Owls and Swift Fox in that area, and the Black-Footed Ferret in others....
I hesitate to call them psychopaths, but at the very least they clearly don't understand the cascading interactions of ecology.
I think you're free to say that people who enjoy murdering other living beings for sport have something wrong with them, anyone trying to cope by saying it's how they get in touch with their masculinity isn't worth listening to.
The Donner Party ate their dead, too. Possibly on that same prarie as the dogs.
To be fair, there's a certain enjoyment in hunting anything. It's engraved in our DNA, in the same way a cat enjoys murdering mice and lizards, or a dog loves tearing the shit out of a chew toy.
Hunting dozens of invasive hogs in Texas was the most fun I've ever had. And there's nothing wrong with that. Humans understand the need to deal with infestations. No shame in those endorphins.
But yeah, Prarie dogs are cute and I wouldn't ever shoot one...
People that like this don’t care about the impact on ecology.
@@Mister_Clean Frankly I'd say it has more to do with cultural belief systems than a primal satisfaction from hunting. Plenty of cultures don't take satisfaction in it, but understand it as a necessity for nutritional needs.
This is trippy because my kindgarten teacher told us she accidentally ordered Exploding Varmints instead of an educational video about Prairie dogs 😂

Great episode.
Jack, a "grain" is a unit of weight. A grain is 1/7000th of a pound. It can refer to either the weight of the bullet, or the weight of the charge of power (how much powder) in the cartridge.
That said, "splodin" the varmints is about the only way to do it, humanely. You can't poison them, because it will harm scavengers as secondary consumers of the poison. This is why the EPA has gone after rat poison in recent years, forcing them to severely reduce the strength of their products.
I sure as hell wouldn't record, edit, and market a video of myself blowing away varmints and making creepy commentary. That really doesn't do the shooting sports or hunting any good, as the RLM crew reactions can attest.

Lmao that exploding varmints tape got 1000x more disturbing once the guy started laughing about it and said it was "excellent". Like hes really laughing and having a good time from exploding small animals.
Sassy Driving Lad there's tons of videos of people shooting prairie dogs, hunting coyotes with dogs, while they laugh maniacally and tell horrible jokes like 'uh oh here comes his friend checking him out huh huh huh'. And just because I think those guys are creeps and weirdos doesn't mean I'm some dummy that thinks it isn't necessary. The comments are just creepy. And people that sit there watching these videos getting off are creeps.
The most pathetic part is that these men feel manly about shooting defenseless little things...
Luis Colin And like they said in the video, it has nothing to do with the guy wanting to protect his neighbors crops or livestock. He just wants to kill little creatures while he giggles and breathes heavily.
