Peace on Earth, Except for the Hunted

SICK! SICK! SICK! There are some very sad people in the world who need to get a life! It is discusting killing animals for fun or any other reason hunter's use as an excuse to go on there killing spree!

Well, I'm kinda wondering why a 'hunter' is here in the firt place. And then, I am once more mildly surprised that interfering with a "hunt" is illegal. But then... the government allows the brutality in producing animal products. So, I guess I'm not surprised. Just sad. And really, why... why would interfering in a "hunt" make any cause for helping animals look very bad? Where are you coming from, mr. hunter? In the book, "Thanking the Monkey" there is a comment from a hunter about how his child got hold of his gun and "accidentally" shot him, shattering his shoulder. He recalls being in the hospital (now this is a hunter, remember) and screaming inside in agony trying to reach his morphine pump. The only thing is, to move his baby finger makes him scream. (So, then his story leads me to think of the thousands of animals that the shooter misses, or more correctly, doesn't kill... let's face it... not many sure-shots out there now are there?) And let's remember when we as humans did hunt... out of necessity. The natives prayed before the hunt, took only what they needed and thanked the animal for its sacrifice. I am wondering in what way one can justify hunting today. I mean, come on... get rid of the gun, the bow, the scope, the dogs, the gadgets a hunter feels he has to have to capture that animal. Go in... one on one and let the victor come out. So, mr. norcal, I am not sure why you feel the need to hang out here. Perhaps, just perhaps, you feel that what you are doing is wrong, in your heart of hearts, you know it is wrong. Maybe, you are with us in your soul consciousness but maybe you are unsure of how to extrapolate yourself from where you are right now. Thank you for being here. Your comment was well spoken and you will find your way. I do know that we are all on our own paths and that we are in different places in our evolution. I will protect life. That is my destiny. Love and Kindness to you.

Regarding the defense of hunting from one of the commentators. I grew up in a family that was split across the sibling lines when it came to hunting. My parents were not hunters. I've never owned a gun in my life. It's my experience that the term responsible hunting is not much more than an oxymoron. As a public school teacher, I overhear story after story after story from kids who retell the weekend hunting outing, or the night at the hunting shack with Dad. I won't go so far to suggest I believe all hunters are bad people. But lots are. In the Midwest, hunting is a rite of passage, something you're born into. If you live in the Midwest and aren't born into a hunting family and as a result, never became a hunter yourself, congratulations. You are part of the much greater majority of nonhunting Americans, most of whom see hunting as barbaric, dangerous, cruel, unnecessary, narcissistic, painful, and selfish. Hunting is all of those, and all hunters are participants in the unnecessary cruelty of hunting and create many instances of suffering and loss, even if that's not their intent.

HORRIFIC!!!! To hunt down innocent creatures!!! What goes around comes around!....and I hope it's very soon!!!!

While I strongly disagree with the actions of the hunters (and the entire practice of hunting), why was is necessary to list the beliefs of the hunters? Would you do the same if the hunters were Jewish or Islamic? A lot of people forget that people that say they are Christians and do horrible things aren't true Christians. There are such things as bad Islamics, bad Jews, bad atheists, so why couldn't if have been left that these were hunters?
