Ake, please don't confuse killers (and just damned fools) with hunters. Hunters take game and see that it's not wasted -- that the life of the animal wasn't taken (or given) frivolously. The US has trash that calls itself "hunters" too -- unfortunately. Some try to do something about it:

A damnfool from Chicago went "deer hunting" in downstate Illinois; he managed to put a 12 gauge (bore) shotgun slug (a single chunk of lead) through the wall of a local house, nearly hitting a baby. He was arrested and brought a hot-shot big-time Chicago lawyer to his trial in the small town. At the advice of his lawyer he pled guilty, with a smirk on his face, pointing out that he was there to kill a deer and thereby help the farmers with their crop predation program.

The judge didn't buy it. Instead of the fine of $500 his lawyer had assured him he would get, the damnfool was assessed $5,000, loss of all hunting equipment involved in the incident (which included his brand new pickup truck, his two Bernelli shotguns, and other things of value), loss of hunting privileges for five years, 90 days in the local jail, and 1,000 hours of community service -- AND he had to both apologize to the homeowner and repair the damage he'd done. In other words, my old friend, "Hangin' Dave," threw the book at him.

Dave has the "rank" of Distinguished Rifleman. His father taught gun safety for years. His brother and sister were and are Distinguished Riflemen. Dave don't take no crap about hunting -- and especially carelessness wth firearms -- from anyone.

Would that there were more like him!

Oh, yeah. Don't bring a bigcity attorney to a small town court -- you just might lose big. Better yet, if you can't *hunt*, get your meat at the supermarket and join the army if you want to kill something.
