If a hunter were to chase down a deer and kill it in hand to hand combat I would call that a sport.

I did do that - sort of. A few years ago I spined a deer with an arrow. I approached him and wrestled him and pulled the arrow out and reshot him with the same arrow. Blast away. I'm ready. Oh and the deer was peacefully browsing when I ambushed him.

I wonder. Are cows peacefully doing something when they're slaughtered? Or are they all riled up about something?

The sporting way to finish him off would have been to tear out his jugular with your teeth. :)

I repeat, I am not against hunting. I used to hunt. I just don't call it a sport with the battle so one sided in favor of the hunter. Bow hunting is a fairer battle than rifles with scopes but it is still not equal. You are free to call it anything you want but I don't see it as sport.

I hope he was at least using Firefox and not IE.
