PS   I didn't mean to attack all hunters by what I wrote above. Some hunters do hunt for food and other necessities, and that's fine by me. But hunting or even fishing or using birds and animals for target practice, just for sport? NOtta chance!

I'm the kind of person that won't kill unless I absolutely must - except for mosquitoes, houseflies, and one wood rat that just refused to vacate my kitchen years ago. Even spiders in the house get captured and released outside instead of squashed. I must say that my 3 kids (all male) still rib me a bit about this, but y'know what? NONE of them are violent, all respect animals (except for teasing cats, I guess), and none would hunt or kill unless their very lives depended on it. Ditto even for fishing. And that's because they really suffer when they cause suffering -- that's how they were raised.
