Yes, The people we are talking about are non hunters that maybe were channel surfing, or just by some chance came to see a passing show on the outdoor channel, then forming an opinion of all hunting and hunters based on that.
Elkamp is right, most people who don't hunt equate any death with the only death they have seen which is human death. Otherwise anti hunters wouldn't be spewing insults like calling hunters "murderers" and "killers". They compair the life of an animal simmilar to that of a human life.

I agree with the above 100%. But where I don't agree with you is we cannot guide all of our actions based on what if someone is "channel surfing". Like I said before people already know there is loss of life in hunting. The key here is EDUCATION. Educating the general public about the truths and the good in hunting is the only TRUE way to save the sport. Making it dark and mysterious is a mistake.
