The comments bashing this on other sites just go to show the depth of the stupidity and ignorance rampant in this country today.
Hunting is a fine pastime, and any thinking meat-eater should realize that an animal that lives a wild, free life and is then harvested by a hunter had it much better than an animal that was raised on a factory farm, then slaughtered. Further, wild animals typically don’t die nice, painless deaths. A clean kill from a hunter’s weapon is much preferable to starvation or being eaten alive by a pack of wolves.
Also I have to say...NICE cougar! :-)
P.S. I hope any of you supporting the “Humane Society”...stop.
The largest "humane society" of the USA, the HSUS, has a philosophy that animals shouldn't really even be pets or zoo exhibits, but it is grudgingly tolerated for the better good of the critters. They try to do with honey what PETA tries to do with vinegar, but it's crazy in both cases. The ASPCA is a much more reliable and pet-friendly organization. Local "humane societies" may also not share the anti-pet views of the HSUS.
