Default RE: PETA envy?

I figured that this thread would draw out some comments which is fine. I didn't object to someone having an opinion on the video or shooting hogs and piglets. What does worry me is the constant paranoid let's all look out for the PETA police attitude that folks use to justify their positions. If you read the thread again I stated "Let he is who is without sin cast the first stone". I didn't mean to offend anyone and was not bragging. Hogs are generally a nuisance to most deer hunters and I think you outta eat what you kill which I strictly practice. The macho bravado that often times is a part of a bunch of fellas in the woods with guns is a part of hunting for better or worse. As hunters I think we should work on being gentlemen and keep trying to use our sport as a means of improving ourselves (ie patience, ethics, firearm safety, education conservation, etc). If you have a problem with what someone else is doing the rationale for disagreement should be based on common hunting practices/ethics and not on what PETA or the antis would think. As for legislation against hunting that is definitely real and should be a unified defense effort with political clout and money (that's how it gets done!) to candidates that understand and support our views. So I am sorry if anyone was offended and I respect other folks perspective and points of view. Now I think I will go find a hog to kick, just kidding!!!!!
