[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You do not need to "like" hunting or plumbing or farming or even the military to acknowledge the fact that it is one of the things necessary to keep civilization running.

Conservatives understand that and support those things even if they would not engage in them and think they are icky.

Nor do we cheer the deaths of those who do them.

That is because we are not children.

Mairdie made herself perfectly clear - she didn’t think a treed bear should be shot. A couple of others on this thread have expressed similar.

But there are plenty of people here who are every bit as intolerant of differing ideas as any leftist is.
