Mick, the arguments along the lines "God created us to become hunters" can cause problems with Christianity and I would suspect in other religions. In Genesis 1:29-30 it says:

"I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be food for you. And to the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food. And it was so"

And later, Genesis 9:1-3 says:

"Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all of the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, now I give you everything."

The implication is that we were originally intended to be vegatarian and that something changed (some will argue sin in the Garden Of Eden) to make us meat eaters and hunters.

As for me, I have no problem with people killing for food whether for themselves or as a means of earning a living and I am a meat eater. I draw the line where killing becomes fun or pleasure - I just can't reconcile that one with my own mind and on my own spirtual level I can't believe God would ever approve of such activity.

As for the poor victim of this tragedy, I hope he rests in peace and that perhaps some people who choose to hunt are reminded of the dangers involved and ensure that thier "safety procedures" are adequate.
