I would not want my children hunting. That's all. It's creepy.

Hunting is creepy????

[dbwz]

I shoot, and while I personally have never hunted, it would seem to me like a good skill to have. You never know when you might need it.

I know what you're saying, killing an animal is something I wouldn't want my 9 year old to do.

I could never hunt. I can't kill even a mouse and I cringe to kill bugs, I hate the crunch. That said, my boys grew up hunting and my grandchildren also hunt, it is a natural thing. Mankind has been doing it to survive for millenia.

I have always thought that the problem with so many people is the lack of an outlet for that instinctual hunt for food. Going to the grocery store just doesn't do it.

You go out in the woods with nothing but a sleeping bag, knife, gun and ammo and within a few days you'll be a hunter too. That's when you really get close to nature.

So your'e a vegetarian?

Never getting blood on your own hands but only letting others do your killing for you is TRULY "creepy"!

Do you want your children to have a balanced diet?

Do you want your children to understand their reltionship with God's creation?

Hunting, skinning cleaning and butchering are all skills NEEDED for a balanced life.

Meat (in real life) DOES NOT come in nice sterile plastic wrapped packages, by the way. LIVING cows, pigs, chickens, goats etc. were killed, skinned, butchered and THEN put into those pretty packages in your local Albertson's.

This child is learning that fact of life. Much as I like you as a freeper, I'm sorry you have trouble with this reality.

No big deal. You certainly shouldn't feel any need to apologize to anyone. I understand perfectly. It's something that you often need to be "born into." For many families, it's an activity that everyone's involved in, including the cooking and eating of the game you've hunted.

On the other hand, I don't come from a family that hunted. In fact, I'm something of the black sheep of my family, since I own guns and like to shoot them. I've been hunting, but I really don't have any wish to go hunting again. In my case, it's out of sheer laziness. I'd much rather buy a steak at the grocery store than clean a deer. Of course, that never stops me from accepting wild game foods from friends who do hunt. I got the whole "roughing it" thing out of my system in Boy Scouts. As far as I'm concerned, roughing it is staying at a Motel 6.

You Vegetarians all think that way.

[luckystarmom]

I agree, and I grew up with a family of hunters.

I have no problem with people hunting for food. It's their choice.

I do have a problem with people enjoying killing living things.

It's a good thing that meat grows in those little plastic packages on trees to be picked with migrant labor and sent to grocery stores.
