...yet over and over we have posts of dogs killed by chainsaws, and an never-ending supply of animal-abuse stories...

Liar.

Corrupt, infiltrating, liberal liar.

Very good for her. My 25 year old niece shot her second bear a week ago. It field dressed at 431 pounds, so it was over 500 live weight. She had to belly crawl to within 20 feet of it because it was fighting the dogs in very thick cover. She shot it with her 30-06. She is blond, pretty, single, and a serious Christian young woman.

I have been waiting for an email from her to post the whole story, but this seemed topical.

Are your cats indoor cats or outdoor cats? Man is a natural hunter. Nature is red in tooth and claw. Man almost always kills animals more humanely than the demise that they meet naturally.

I feel for your sensitivity. To go through life with that level of empathy for every living creature must be very painful.

And one heck a a fine shot. It ain’t easy to take that breath before you fire. The time and preparation isn’t for the faint of heart. Especially a 500lb black. I’ve never tried it.

Hunted duck and geese, never moose or bear.

Good for the gal.

Good hunters must have a certain empathy with their prey. It is hard to hunt well unless you have an understanding of your prey's motivations. A great many hunters that I know have this sort of empathy, and they know that life and death are inseparable in the natural world. A respect for your prey is a serious part of most hunters mindset. Their is no satisfaction or triumph in outwitting prey for which you have no respect. That is merely like the workings of a slaughterhouse. It may be necessary, but it is not satisfying.

I know this will sound rather alien to you, but it is a serious part of hunting culture in the west.

You believe what I said to you was harsh and it was.

You went off on everyone on this thread and all you have to back it up is emotion.

Being a conservative is more than voting. You can have beliefs and and convey them in a manner without belittling others.

To take down a bear with a bow and arrow is not easy and not for the faint of heart...You just stay in the city where you are comfortable....do you eat steak?....

Your post is Disgusting.

Hunting feeds people. Fishing feeds people.

Food does not just come from a box or a can at a grocery store.

Are you a Vegan ?

>>”...both sides should know they are in the game.”

If you had ever tracked a wounded bear through a swamp, you would realize you were BOTH “in the game.”
