Prairie dogs are ground squirrels.

If only there would be the option, I would provide the animals the ability to return fire. At overkill rates.

Honestly, I think when people say they kill for sports I think they have some serious issues. Kill by existential need is one thing. Taking joy from it, is sick, shows some kind of brutalization that somehow hints at a depraved soul. Taking life never should feel entertaining, or careless.

And certainly you should not feel triumph or enjoyment.

I can imagine I would enjoy the thrill of stalk-hunting. But I would not shoot to kill, but shoot a photo instead. Its completely enough for my male ego and my satisfaction from the deed to have that photo as evidence that I succeeded in the hunt and could have claimed the trophy. I just do not need nor wish to kill if I do not want to eat it (or protect myself or others from a dangerous animal).

I played against other players some games - but I never felt the need to physically kill them during or after the match.
