Discussion Topic: Animal Rights Activist Shoots Down Deer Recovery
Earlier this month, a Connecticut archer arrowed a spike buck in a suburban hunting area, and of all the places the deer could have gone to expire, it wound up in someone’s backyard—and of all the backyards, that of Lynn Gorfinkle, CEO of Animal Rights Alliance in Redding.
The hunter knocked on the door, asked permission to recover the deer, and was promptly shot down.
From The News-Times:
If someone's going to eat that deer, I want it to be natural predators," [Gorfinkle] said. "Not some hunter. . . .
"My husband told him to just go away, he couldn't have the deer. . . .”
Gorfinkle. . . said she snapped photographs of the deer where it fell as it died, then flipped it over and took more to document the cause of death: a lethal lung puncture.
"It was a crime scene, in my opinion, the minute that it was shot," she said.
Check out the full story and tell us your reaction.

I could go on a 5 hour rant about how many things are wrong with this couple and their logic. That they view archery hunting outside of their 3.5 acres as a danger, that they didn't at least donate it to hunters for the hungry themselves instead of rotting, that they don't at least acknowledge the eticate of the hunter to knock and ask, etc. etc. I've got money that somewhere down the road they'll sue someone when the deer starts to rot and stink instead of sleeping in the bed they made. Idiots, pure and simple.
The town should cite the b!#c# for maintaining a sanitary nuisance on her property. (Pardon my !#%*!).

"If someone's going to eat that deer, I want it to be natural predators..." Uh, ma'am, in case you didn't realize this, humans ARE natural predators! And, um, as another small point, crime scenes generally have to involve an illegal action of some sort...
Since it "is" a crime scene I think that she should have a DNA test done on the victim. This could determine whether this deer is truly innocent or whether it has been involved in any unrelated or unsolved crimes. There is a huge problem with deer on deer violence in our "communities". It's time we put and end to it once and for all. ;)
Just read steve182's comment it says it all. Stamford had to quit a deer hunt a day early because of death threats?? Just shows how ridiculous these animal rights activists are-make death threats cause of a deer hunt. so they'll kill a human before a deer?
Animal rights activists do not understand ecology or conservation. They operate strictly on emotion, and resort to emotional appeals for support. Therefore, rational discussion with them is useless. In their world, Bambi lives to a ripe old age, lays down underneath a beautiful oak tree, and expires in his deep, peaceful sleep - unless a big, bad hunter comes along and cruelly kills the poor thing. If they would get out of their houses and get into the woods, they'd have their eyes openned to the beauty, and cruelty, of nature.
That story just overloaded my brain's irony neurons...must rest now and avoid any ironic stories for the rest of the day or I might just blow them out permanently...
Their (the anti's) 'cause' isn't about saving the deer, or habitat, or squirrels, or any of that. It's about creating victims, and painting themselves as victims as well. And then being able to dictate their personal beliefs on others.
this happened to a friend of mine last year but it was about 15 miles outside of town. He shot a deer on a friends property and it ran and died on someone elses property. The owner refused him access to the deer and even called the police and fish and game to come arrest my friend. But when they arrived they told the woman that she was wrong and they escorted my friend to his deer. In my state you must first ask the landowner for permission to cross his land to get an animal. If permission is not given then the fish and game will step in on the hunters side.
If, like me, you're having trouble getting the link to load, you can get the same story from the Stamford advocate:

I'd like to know who made the death threats. Prison time for the persons who did seems appropriate.
If she is as concerned about animal rights as she claims, she better be a vegan and not own any leather or make-up. As I have found most "animal rights" activists are the biggest ignorant hippocrates that I have ever come into contact with!! Just reading her argument is an insult to my intelligence.
It is the law in my home state of Iowa -- as it should be everywhere -- that an unarmed hunter can legally recover game from private land without permission. Game, after all, does not belong to landowners in the United States.
I would have compromised and just left the gut pile.
It must be the lack of protein from meat that makes Peta and anti-hunting peoples brains go haywire. Like previously said, "IDIOTS".
To bad it wasn't a skunk!
These idiots don't even know how to be smart about their efforts. The guy shot a deer, if he can't recover the deer it dies for nothing. Second, he is going to just go shoot another deer. So if these idiots were really wanting to save deer they would let him get the deer. These people are so messed up they can't even think straight. Proves these people are anti-hunters not pro-animal. What morons, there is no reason to not allow a a hunter to recover a deer unless the deer falls in your marijuana garden.
The best thing he could have said to them would be " OK Cool! cause know I don't have to use my tag on a small deer, know I can kill a bigger one. Thanks! Thanks alot!
The deer was shot on Oct 2nd, I wonder how well she likes it now? I hope it remains nice and warm weather-wise there. She goes on to say that burying the carcass is "out of the question, as it is too large",these anti hunter types always have an excuse for everything. Instead of a legitimate hunter eating his harvest it goes to waste. Their ilk always exhibits such shallow thinking and lack of knowledge about nature. May the prevailing winds direct the stench of the decay into their fortress.
They deserve the smell they're gonna' get. What ignorance, it's sad.
I bet that carcass will attract a cougar into eating that lady's toy poodle (not that I wish any such death upon innocent poodles) and then she'll wish she'd allowed that hunter to remove the deer
I agree with babs: these idiots are just giving the hunter an opportunity to kill two deer with one tag.
I go to school here in Connecticut, and unfortunately have to do my bowhunting here. I have resorted to a large state forest over an hour away from school just because it is so big, and thus harder for the 'anti-'s to harass you in the woods.
Another unfortunate story- our school owns a large forest in the northern part of the state, which is run by the Forestry School of the University. The Foresters, the people who study this stuff for a living, endorsed hunting on the school's forest because the deer population needed to be managed. Why was the deer hunting not allowed? The stupid kids from the divinity school of all places, along with other antis, would go up to the forest in waves with megaphones, airhorns, and whistles, and follow hunters or sit under their stands making a mess of noise so no deer would be killed. Connecticut is not a great place for hunters- not because of the state laws, but because of the people living here.
That is a shame. Here in AZ harassing a hunter is a Class 2 misdemeanor, or a Class 3 misdemeanor if it occurs on state land.
I wish I could say I was surprised to see this, but I wasn't. Our former 'neighbors' were antis and once called the cops on us...because my beagle was barking outside. It was all because they found out I hunted. Made me just want to hunt even more. They're nuts!
I just dont understand how some people actually believe hunting causes animals to breed more? Comments like these are obviously from individuals that dont know what they are talking about.
these fools need to be hung . to put it bluntly
What a waste of venison.
Some of these antis are just oxygen theives.
I can believe she took pictures of the animal dying for her self gratification and to add to her propaganda rather than let someone recovery the deer.
I've had a run in our too with anti's but not like this. more like a verbal pissin contest and an agree to disagree.
They don't harass the hunters round here some of them ol boys'll send em packin with a bottom full of hot lead lol.
The other day a simular idiot protestor got on Kansas City TV by pouring a bucket of (beef?) blood over his own head. This was to protest the culling in Shawnee Mission park. Yesterday a bowhunter bagged a huge NT buck only a few miles from there. I saw the deer at Cabelas being measured. He looked about 185 gross. A kid shot a 232 incher near here at Stilwell. That one is on this site. But I digress those people are idiots and the press aids and abbets their cause.
Well, this crazy woman has the honor of the stench of rotting meat in her backyard. Have their friends and family over for a visit. Liberal insanity on display.
In Ontario, the law states that you may not interfere with law full hunting, fishing and trapping activities. Those death threats would be investigated and charges laid if found to be true. Also in Ontario, the landowner could and SHOULD be charges with allowing game meat or fish to spoil. If the hunter were allowed to access the property, then the deer could have been used as food. By denying the hunter the opportunity to recover, I think the onus would transfer to the landowner to prevent the deer from spoiling.
Either way, a sad tale...
"she flipped it over", sounds like abuse of a corpse. Isn't that a crime?
What i dont understand is that people actually believe that animals deserve more right then us humans. What they dont realize is that when us hunters hunt the animal we have the upmost respect for the animal we hunt thats why we hunt them because we admire them and there intelligence....STUPID PEOPLE...
I think they all need to see a head shrink, that is one sick Bi***,
Don
What I would like to say about these people you can't say on this website. I give credit for all the great comments above.
I love how she says that burying the animal would require too big of a hole. That vegan diet must be good for you if it leaves you too weak to DIG A HOLE! Who is a afraid of these people, honestly?
I only want to ask one question.
Can you fix stupid?
Proud to say, I am a member of P.E.T.A. (People Eating Tasty Animals)!
I used to live next door to an anti, and one day i shot a deer and had it hangin in a tree then these antis see it hangin there and called the cops sayin that it was a cruel sight for them to see when they drove by, the cop turned out to be a hunter and told the antis if they didnt want to see it when they drove by to not look or go another way and after they found out that we were hunters they gave us all kind of trouble so what we did was start hangin all kinda game in the tree
