You have a right to your opinion. Most of the animals I kill are for food, and I daresay every hunter does it that way. The only time animals are killed and not eaten is when they are destroyed for pest control purposes. (e.g. damaging squirrels or rabbits etc.) That is a miniscule percentage. I can hardly believe you admit to not being a vegetarian/vegan and think it's ok to eat meat. Why is it ok to kill a cow and not a deer? What is the difference between the two for you? One is cuter/more beautiful? How can the cow help that, it had no choice what it was born. Which is more sporting or noble, to raise animals for no purpose but to die for our nourishment, or to pursue an animal in its own environment where its senses far outweigh your own, to harvest an animalo with your own skills so that you appreciate the pain and joy of life more, rather than hire out to a slaughterhouse to routinely do the dirty work for you and never have to think about it? For me it is very humbling and awe inspiring to know that the creator of this earth created such beauty... and yet he allows us to destroy it for our nourishment because we are much more valuable to him than they are. It causes a profound respect and awe for animals and the creator of those animals, in me.

Actually, the vacuous and hollow much prefer to have others kill their suppers. While the true hunter eats all he/she kills and is proud of his/her accomplishment, the anti-hunter who eats meat is akin to a person who hires a hitman to do their dirty work for them. Intellectually dishonest, to say the least, the person who condemns the hunter, yet indulges in a good steak from time to time. If the anti who eats meat only knew the sometimes "barbaric" methods to kill the animals they purchase at the grocery store.

Instaed, they live in a disconnected world of their own. Oblivious to reality.

I can't believe you are completely missing my point about hunters. IF they killed for food only it would be different. But the typical hunter does it for SPORT.....why do you people keep avoiding my point?

Killing animals for sport should not be taught to children...period.
