(LIBERAL,ANTI HUNTING, ANTI CIVILIZATION).....Case studies abound demonstrating that many of those who abuse animal

First, there is nothing to suggest this is an animal abuse case.

The kid made a perfect shot on a feral cat. I am sure he will be demonized by all the usual suspects but I would surely like to learn more about his background and training before I take him to the dunking stool.

Well, I reread read the story. It wasn't quite what i thought...I'll take the kid's word for it that he was protecting the quail from the cat. That's something a 12 yo might well do if he prefers birds to cats i suppose. It doesn't make it right, how he went about it, but I can see how things might have played out in the scenario. (I prefer birds to cats myself but don't favor piercing their skulls with arrows to that end. I'm guessing now without any further info the kid has learned a lesson here ) And I too have learned that I should thoroughly read the article before embarking on a rant.

I will assure you, however, that one's desire not to see any animal abused does not a Liberal make.
