Dear SRS I was born and raised on a small farm in a very isolated area..I think I know a good deal about the natural world and hardly need to be lectured on the subject by someone naive enough to think that animals have a complex relationship wirh someone who is trying to kill them. I have witnessed the slaughter of domestic animals and believe an animal knows our intentions and the response is not a spiritual one...it is terror. You also fail to distinquish between the "use" of animals and the "exploitation" of animals. Do not assume that those people who find a certain elf-righeousness in some hunters are just"stirring things up". We too have opinions based on experience.
