“I cannot condone killing wildlife unless for food.”
Well, that certainly is nice to know! If I ever see you getting attacked by a mountain lion, I’ll be sure to just re-holster my firearm and watch.
The guy should get out in front of it, say that he likes hunting and he loved this particular hunt. He’s done nothing illegal or immoral, near as I can tell.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Old American pioneers wrote that mountain lion was some of the best meat they ever tasted. Maybe the guy likes lion.
