The author seems to overlook the fact that some of us can relate well (and care about) people AND animals
all God’s critters, yaknow
What are you saying? That hunters don’t care about animals? Are you saying that the author’s premise, that big-game hunting in Africa has resulted in significant rebounds in endangered animal populations?
Or are you concerned about the fate of one, particular animal? If that’s the case, which animals should be feel empathy for? Those which PETA has given cutesy names?
But, you did mention God’s critters. Here’s what God had to say about it:
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
God created the animals to be food for man.
