Off-subject but I agree. I think hunting is pathological. If you want to go camp or hang out in the woods or go hiking, that's fine (I love those things myself and am a pretty experienced outdoors type). To get some sense of "sport" from blowing holes in a defenseless, innocent animal from long range is simply disgusting human behavior. I don't get it and never will. There's no "need" for it and any of these claims of "population control" are simple rationalization B.S. on the part of the people that want to continue to perpetuate their sick game.

I'm not an environmental extremist or a PETA member or anything, I'm just a person who knows basic right from wrong and happens to think animals make for better enjoyment alive than dead with holes blown in them. To deliberately revel in and take enjoyment in the suffering and killing of innocent things is just sick. There was a time when hunting was required to survive. That was about 200 years ago. There's no justifiable reason for hunting today except among very small, isolated and/or eccentric individuals.

Sorry to send this off-topic, but I think it's the same mental disorder that compels a golfer to try and kill a hawk with a golf ball as it is that compels someone to get his rocks off by killing wildlife with a gun or a crossbow. Yea, very "manly". Let's smear ourselves with deer piss, lie around in wait in the woods for hours and then courageously shoot an animal from distances way beyond that of its natural defenses. Then we'll cut its head off as a trophy to boast to our buddies about how "tough" we are. Bull. That ain't tough. You want to be tough? Go fight it and kill it with your bare hands where it can fight back or outrun you. Then I'll be impressed. Using animals as target practice - whether with bullets or golf balls is the same to me - unsporting and pathological.

Any person who puts "hunting" as one of their hobbies or interest automatically loses serious credibility with me by default. It's about the same thing as saying "I like monster trucks" or "NASCAR rules" or "didja check out that tractor pull last week?" Automatic 50 I.Q. point deduction.
