Note I talk of killing as a sport and entertainment.
That's different, I don't hunt for those reasons. For me, it's either a hobby or a chore, Depending on what I'm hunting and why.

I have a quick story that may be amusing for some. For some, it may be pathetic.

We have a ground hog that is systematically undermining an outside shed. The shed houses lawn things like a wooden wishing well and windmill. They are heavy and a royal pain to pull out. The shed also houses lawn equipment and the like.

One day, I decided to shoot the ground hog after fixing the damage it had caused.. The weapon I was using was a target model .22 automatic. The groundhog was no more than ten feet away. It was an easy kill. He was sitting there eating his dinner.

I didn't pull the trigger on him. My lady told me later she didn't want me to shoot him anyhow. She asked why I didn't shoot him and I said, I didn't want to ruin his dinner. If the groundhog had a weapon and was trying to hurt me, I would have emptied the clip on him. Shrugs.

I told her I would instead trap him and release him in the wild, not far from us..

I understand that pest control and controlling animal threats can command use of force. But too easily we call something a pest, because it simply is the most convenient way to go for us, easy and comfortable. What I ask for is some more sensibility for the beauty of life.



The original popst was about brutalized barbars using automatic weapons to massacre birds they do not even eat, just for the joy of killing somehtig n that is alive. And that is sick. whole singing bird hunting (with nets) is idiotic, imo. have you ever seen a larch prepared for dinner? Two or three teaspoons of meat you get form it. In the Mediterranean the catch bords opf even much smaller size, just for one tiny bite of meat as their damn forefathers did.



Killing should never be done for trophies, records, or "enjoyment".



Because man believes that animals do not feel anything, animals must feel that man does not think.

Those people aren't hunters, they are poachers.
