"six billion souls on the planet and you get to be the judge?"

Of course she does. She's seen Bambi. Twice.

Wait a minute. I've seen it a hundred times, and read the original books about as many times. And I spent a lot of free time writing sequels as a kid. Doesn't that make my opinion more worthy? ;-)

Now what is so funny about that??.. You know I dislike Palmetto Bugs, Ants, flies and spiders and I kill them if I ever see them in the house, because they have no purpose in the house, but Zorro serves his purpose of "CAT" as making sure they never have a chance to reside indoors.

See every Animal serves a purpose.

Cyrano, over my shoulder here, says "there's a difference between animals going to heaven and animals *being* in heaven."

But if you are getting at will there be some 'happy hunting ground' in the sky, no, there will be no more death, no more hunting, and it won't be missed.

Why? They serve a purpose too. Again, you're biased against those that were unfortunate enough to be born without fur and big sparkly brown eyes.

"Where do you all live??????"

The middle of Yellowstone Park. Ground's been rather warm lately. Must be the mid-winter thaw.

All creation serves the purpose of sustaining man, which is the only creature capable of having a personal relationship with the Almighty.

gophers, squirrels and rabbits serve a purpose too. they feed me, and other animals, and serve as great target practice.

I asked you that because I have found everybody differs on the opinion of hunting by where they live...I am origianlly from California and live here now, but for a time I lived in Dallas Texas and Jacksonville Florida, and while I was living in Florida I had the opportunity to eat gator tail and crawfish did not like crawfish anyways everyone's opinion an theory differed greatly on Sport Hunting by each state, California rejected Sport hunting the most then Dallas then Jacksonville, so it seems to me it depends what you were exposed to by what hunting is all about in the state you live in.

Isn't it amazing we dont' have the money to fight abortion legislation but we have a group now that raises money to defend animals.

Well y'all I have to go get some work done. Unfortunately I don't have all the time it will take to educate miss missyme/Sungirl whoever she is.
