RE: Deer and ethics
If you saw a Skunk on the road - with its back legs crushed by a car - flopping around in the road - would you feel as compelled to"end its life" too? What about a Snake? Why not a frog?
Where and why do you draw a line?
I understand where you are coming from, and ashunters we are taught to take life as swiftlyas possible(I think that is anhonorable goal)- I'm not sure I would not finish off a mortally wounded deer either, but at the same time -no one ever said death was pretty or fair.
