Some of us learned a different ethic and it took. Maybe you have to be around a lot of death to understand.

Hold animals in high regard and have compassion for them as God's creatures with a value in their own right. For example, the hunter ought to only shoot when a humane, clean and quick kill is assured. He ought shoot only old stags past their prime breeding years and to relinquish a much anticipated shot on a trophy to instead euthanize a sick or injured animal that might appear on the scene. Further, one ought never shoot a female with young in tow to assure the young deer have a mother to guide them to food during the winter. Such is the "legacy of Hubert". Sure bad stuff happens, an animal is wounded or doesn't die right away, Hubertus is the ideal, the goal.

I might add, shoot (cull/harvest) only those animals in abundance, pass on the over hunted or the rare ones.

A quick clean kill with a little "reverence" may be more appropriate.

I read about those guys arrested in Virginia for stomping on the heads of barn raised Turkeys. You have to wonder about somebody who would do that, maybe potential Psychopaths?
