Default RE: Anti hunting attack philosophy

I am a firm believer in the notion that we are not going to change the minds of the anti-hunters just as they will not change the minds of the hunters. The people that can be persuaded are the non-hunters! Most non-hunters are not anti-hunting and realize that hunting is a tool to manage game populations. BUT!! If they see too much blood and gore they can be persuaded to go anti very easily. That is a tool the anti's use to increase numbers, i.e.; show pictures of wounded or dead game. Why then are we, hunters, putting shows on tv of hunting scenes with actual footage of the "hit" from a bullet or arrow, sometimes very poor shots, and in the end seeing the hunters celebrating the death of the animal and holding the trophy head for all to see. We are "shooting ourselves in the foot" !!!
