I am certainly no liberal and I know I will piss a lot of people off with this statement, but I don’t believe hunting is a “sport” unless the hunted and the hunters have the same weapons and an equal opportunity to prevail. If they want to really “hunt” they should join the Army or Marines.

I’m not sure either. I view it as a way to get food. Depends on your definition of “sport”, I guess.

But applying your quaint logic to lots of other “sports” would (for example) make for an interesting game of golf (every third ball or so explodes, killing the golfer?)

My grandfather would have disagreed with you. He grew up on a farm and he said he would rather hunt than take an animal who trusted him to slaughter. The wild animal had a chance of evading him, while the barnyard animal came to call.

The Trump sons tweeted that the meat went to feed people. Some of those animals that were killed were actual nuisance to the locals.
