Are you crazy? The girl had a bow and was only 16 yards from a 400+ pound bear. If she missed, or just winged that bear, it could cover those 16 yards in about 2 seconds and rip her head off with one swipe of its paw.
That is sport.
Hunting is NOT a sport. In a sport both sides should know they are in the game.

Many people consider hunting and fishing as violent and the premeditated killing of wild animals and this is the first reason for which hunting and fishing cannot be accepted as a sport and, in fact, The International Olympic Committee has refused to include hunting and fishing as a sport. The basic rules of modern “sport” excludes any violence or killing against other persons or animals. Call it what you want, but it’s not a sport. A sport doesn’t kill anybody or anything.
Let’s just agree to disagree as there will never be a happy solution between anti-hunters and hunters. And yes, I am a conservative, Christian, pro-life and own a gun...and rarely eat meat, maybe a couple of times a year, and hate fish so never eat it. I don’t know what a vegan is, but suppose I could look it up.
The article caused an extreme visceral reaction and yes, I may be overly sensitive where animals are concerned, but I realize some of my remarks were uncalled for and for that I apologize to all who were offended.
