Killing is part of hunting. Without it we would call it watching. Something has to die if we are going to be meat eaters. I kill the chickens we eat. I have raised them from little chicks. The past few months I have held 2 of my dogs while I said goodbye to them, one of them I had since he was 8 wks to 8.5 yrs. If I can kill my chickens and dogs when the need arises then hunting is not a problem.

When I kill an animal I hope I do it in a manner that leaves the animal with its' dignity and treat it with respect after I have killed it.
