If ever there was a non sequitur it is “ethical hunting.”

Killing one of God’s creatures for pleasure is presumptively unethical, in my opinion.

I don’t quite see the connection, Slopeshaper, but as long as you ask, I’ll make one: If I was an unborn baby, I would not want to be destroyed for someone’s convenience. Just like if I was a deer, I would not want to be destroyed for someone’s pleasure. Whether… Read more »

Thoughts like this go nowhere, just as preaching abstinence to teenagers. They’re going to do it, so we should enlighten them how to do it sustainably.

Thank you.

Elmer Fudd Maybe not so much “against ” hunting and the way it USED to be ,but how it’s gotten to be for so many the past 20 years or so. Like you mention, the “macho and manly ” element to it. I used to be a hunter back in… Read more »
