Let's Converse about HUNTING............

[Mr. dB]

Why has it got to be about skill? Why not just kill the animal in a way that causes a minimum amount of distress to it and then eat it?

We eat meat for a healthy survival, just kill the animal quickly and eat it. There should be nothing more to it. No bullshit 'look what i've done', i've just killed a huge animal. Who cares if you use a gun or use bare hands, just do it, don't brag about it and for fuck sake think how you'd feel if you were the animal and get the job done quickly.

I doubt that any way a hunter kills an animal is nearly as bad (from the animal's point of view) as getting killed and eaten on the spot by a bear or mountain lion, which would have been that animal's eventual fate anyway.
