How about expanding what you read with "Meditations on Hunting" - a very thoughtful & comprehensive analysis of why people hunt?
How about expanding your experiences by actually accompanying someone on a hunt? Find out what hunting really entails.
What you've read and experienced is quite limited. You're not going to get the big picture by limiting yourself to PETA propaganda and casual on-line arguments.
many of the posts I read in here intensified my beliefs.
Ironically, you're doing the same on a larger scale for your opposition. A number of people here (moi included) will be thinking "this one's for Sungirl" as they take their next prey.
I compare [posting private messages to] telling your friends a secret and they decide to tell it word for word to the world.
But the person in question here isn't your friend, is he?
And the message you privately sent wasn't a secret, was it?
You didn't tell a friend a secret in private, you insulted a stranger in private - and that does not deserve the same protections.
Those kind of people you need to stay away from...esp if someone can blow away animals and brag about it.
You're projecting again, m'am.
I imagine people will kill extra things while hunting in my name....but I am positive that my name will be the only thing new to the 'so-called hunt'.
