I have never hunted in my life, and I very likely never will,
but I totally support hunters and am totally in favor of hunting in general..
if someone
eats meat and says "ohh boo hoo, poor innocent animals, hunters are so cruel" they should feel ashamed..and they are very ignorant..
they should PREFER they get their meat from hunters rather than the supermarket!!
beef (or pork, or chicken, etc) bought from a store came from animals that had terrible lives, raised and killed on factory farms, never to know freedom..personally, I think getting meat from "the wild" is MUCH better!!
and besides, its totally natural..humans are omnivores, we naturally eat meat and plants..we were made to hunt..we just happen to be at the top of the food chain!
only strict vegans have the right to say "ohh boo hoo poor innocent animals!"
thats fine then..
all my life I have had relatives who hunt..I have had lots of venison! yum!
and I just had Elk last year, and it was great!
If I were a deer, I would prefer to go quickly by a gun shot or an arrow, rather than slowly die of starvation because the deer populations are out of control..hunting is better for the deer..in general..maybe not so good for some individual deer!
but its much healthier for the whole population..
and..its the way the Great Spirit intends it, its the way he designed the world..for all of us, humans and deer alike..
does anyone get upset when a cheetah brings down a gazelle?
when a housecat kills a rat?
when a Eagle snatches a fish out of the water?
thats no different than people going hunting..
