This site was started to be one of the best bestiality sites on the interwebs and it turned into this shit.

This is less moral / ethical ambiguity and more an aesthetic / personal polemic. Sport jocks could do with a dose of commitment. If you are too lazy to hang draws, what else can the community expect out of you comrade? If you are not giving back, you are not an asset; you are a liability. Assets come in to open arms; the welcome is not so effusive to the liabilities. If you think this is a problem, rest assured it is not a modern one. It has been played repeatedly in primate troops over the last tens of millions of years.

with a decent stick clip and the know how to use it, you don't even need to take a big swing at the end. It would be nice to have a single cleaning draw somewhere on the route though.

I am very sad they are gone, but I understand it had to be done.
