I'm an ex-hunter, and ate everything I killed. However, I was in the field to KILL, as is every hunter. I enjoy the forest much more now that I mean no harm. Except to mosquitoes and chiggers.

So does your antipathy to hunters extend to fishermen as well? Or is it only warm fuzzy animals that you object to killing?

Also, why would you wish more animals to die a slow cruel death that benefits nobody, rather than a fast one that provides humans with sustainence?

Finally, if you care about wildlife in general, you should support hunting. Hunting puts econonmic value on wildlife habitat, which benefits all wildlife. The fact that there are more whitetail deer, wild turkey, elk, etc. in the country now than ever before (about 20 times as many as 100 years ago) is the direct result of the work of hunters. And the improvements made to habitat by hunters helps non-game species as well. Compare that to eating soybeans, which require removing habitat and killing thousands of animals for each acre planted. Just becasue vegitarians don't see or take respnsibility for their gutpiles does not mean they don't exist.
