Default RE: The Kill - Revisited .......

Killing isn't the problem.It's the 'I hunt so I can kill stuff', 'I need to kill something' or the 'I hunt to kill not kill to hunt' attitude that is borderline.

The followingis from an anti-hunting website, it is how they try to portray us. Do you guys agree with it?

Hunters are killers, plain and simple. Let us not mince words. Hunters try to justify their violent pastime, but whatever they say to the contrary, hunting is the premeditated, cold-blooded killing of innocent animals.

The object of the hunt is to kill animals. Hunters argue that it is not just about killing. They claim that the camaraderie, nature appreciation, exercise, nature education, and so-called conservation benefits are just as important a part of the hunt as the actual killing or attempted killing of the target animal.

It is ludicrous to believe that someone who actively sets out to kill a healthy animal for fun, trophy or profit really cares about wild animals specifically or nature in general.

If you just wanted 'to kill stuff' get a job a dog pound, slaughter house or buy a barn full of chickens... but don't taint the hunt for those of us who believe it's about more than just killing.
