RE: Moral hunting dilemma
Wow that's a tough one. I agree with the others. Don't push it. Let her develop her own opinions. Your fathering her will naturally influence her enough to not have to push. I would have to say you are doing the right thing, keep your explanations vague though. That is what I did with my kids - they've both seen deer and game and fish being brought home their whole lives. They thought seeing the animals were really cool, especially deer. I left it at that and didn't tell them anything of the hunt or how the animal died. Today my daughter is 12 and has no interest in hunting whatsoever. That's fine though. She's not against it in anyway so I won't push her into it at all. My son is 10 and wants to hunt when he turns 12. I think that by kids being around a hunting family, even if it's just you that hunts, they will grow up to respect it.
