oh whatever, leave woogie alone. he/she is entitled to an opinion without a bunch of blowhards giving them a talking to for supposed naivete.
hunters aren't anymore noble than someone who works at a farm killing things, or anyone else for that matter. they're generally dips- they hide out in expensive little tents, in expensive cammo with equipment and guns and shoot things as they walk by. how heroic! how challenging.
it boils down to this: one animal stalking and killing another. and if its not ok to root for the opposition, then its not really a sport, is it? its just a process... at which point it might as well be a killing floor. and hey, what about that poor schlub making a living feeding turkeys to the grinder?? you don't think that's "the hard way"? p'shah
and its not being hypocritical to have a problem with killing things for kicks (and that's what most hunting is- the thrill of the hunt). there's nothing wrong with trying to minimize your negative impact however you can. just because you're not sin free doesn't mean you can't try to be good. so you eat candy that contains animal products? does that mean that being against someone kicking a dog is hypocritical? of course not. THAT'S naive. i mean, being prolife, talking about the sanctity of all life, but supporting the death penalty- now that's hypocritical.
i have no respect for anyone that thinks its fun to take the one thing anyone or anything truly owns- their life. you have to be pretty damn full of yourself to think that's your right, especially for sport. if you're in the Donner family and its the only way, yeah sure. someone's trying to kill you? yeah alright. but if the thing has a prob with you trying to off it and it stomps yer face? good on it. go deer.
now if this was a fair fight, naked guy in the woods in winter with some pointy sticks tied to his head facing off against a deer... i might be rooting for the guy.
