So, first-glance appearances notwithstanding, it actually looks like we're all ESSENTIALLY in agreement (this is always such a hot-button topic!), that Little John's community has suffered a horrible & unnecessary tragedy, that people who are licensed and trained to hunt with a gun or ANY weapon should be mature, well-trained and responsible, that in some areas an overpopulation of wildlife leads to unhappiness for people and animals, and that everyone has to eat.

LJ, my sympathies to you and your neighbours, who must be experiencing something unimaginably painful and horrific right now. Sending a good thought.
