I am against both, unless it is absolutely necessary (lost in the woods etc.) ------------------ Protrolls.com! "I want to be like Olajon." -Sagana Diop has the right idea... Keep the ???? alive!
Ignoring ZRB's rants which are pretty nuts, I don't see hunting as necessary or beneficial. If you want to do it, that's ok, but it doesn't make things better for the animals by thinning out their ranks and no one needs to hunt for food unless they live off the land. If you want to kill an animal for food, that is up to you. But, bonding with nature has very little to do with killing animals. Just go sit in the woods. It is much more peaceful. And Mother Nature has a way of thinning out the ranks of animals when it is necessary. The reason there are so many deer in the first place is because we encroached on animals who prey on deer and who are more afraid of humans than the deer are. If you want to make a personal argument as to why you choose to hunt, that's fine, but there isn't any real logic in it unless you can't survive without hunting. By the way, as a former avid fisherman, I feel the same about fishing. I loved to fish but I gave it up because I couldn't bring myself to do harm to another living creature in that way. I do not hate ANYONE for their actions. Honestly, I don't even hate the action. I just choose not to hunt or fish myself. Whoever else wants to is cool with me. ------------------ How the hell should I know why God would allow the Holocaust.

I have some news for you- there is not one conservative alive who "anti-environment". We are very fond of air. ------------------
The difference between hunting and fishing? You can catch a fish, take the hook out and release it back into the water. You can't shoot an animal, remove the bullet, and let it go on it's merry way across the savannah. ------------------ Fire is good--www.nifc.gov
Do you hate Hunting for Truffles? Hell if you look at it from a plant's perspective . . .[esp weeds] farming is pretty much a slave situation. Rocket River before you say plants don't feel pain etc The same was said about many a slave and animals at one point. just be irratating ------------------
