I have a similar picture of my daughter,son and nephew holding dead snow shoe hares about the same age.
One person asked if they were alive I said of course not we are hunters not bunny huggers.
We had a woman running for state rep here in Maine, one of her campaign points was that she wanted to see ‘catch and release hunting’.
Yes she was a democrat and no she did not win.
But Chellie Pingree did even though once while walking with a friend, he said to her, “Look a dead bird” she looked up in the air and said “Where?”.
