“Is it that much different then how cows are killed?”.Yes.Intent.Harvesting food is not the same thing as considering yourself the great white hunter because you killed something in a cage or just released..With weaponry available, most hunting strikes me as unsportsmanlike but I’m not a sportsman, so I could easily be wrong. I can’t complain while enjoying what others have provided me..Even if I ate only plant products, animals were killed to keep them from eating it instead..We all affect each other in this world — including plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, whatever.
“Hunting is different than shopping. Shooting a caged animal is shopping. I prefer store bought meat.”.Nah, shooting a caged animal isn’t shopping or hunting..Killing an animal for food is called butchering. Butchers are relatively well paid because they do what most don’t enjoy..Whenever friends tell me how good venison is, I always tell them the best I’ve ever eaten doesn’t compare to the cheapest hamburger meat. They then tell me I just need to know how to process it to make it palatable. I then respond that proves my point: they have to work hard to make it into something fit to eat. Some do, but at great effort..If you want to kill something, don’t pretend it is for the food. Admit you enjoy killing. We are what we are. We’re allowed to have different likes and dislikes.

The Fink was not objecting to the deer in the cage but the blunderbus he was given to shoot with.

Bravo Nab – you inflamed the crazed leftists by merely recounting the truth. Shows Gruber knew whereof he spoke.

I’d sooner hunt rapists and child molesters, but I’m funny that way.

It doesn’t matter – the King is still a fink!

At least the King has standards, even though he’s a fink.

To all you firearms ‘’experts", . . .a blunderbus does not have not have a magazine. The king’s firearm is a repeater and not a front-end- loader.

Great statement on ‘Canned Hunts’. Thank-you.

The only hunt I tend to participate in is the discounted meat in the meat department.

And here, I thought the comments would be thanking the King for his consideration..Asking too much, I guess…

Looks like his blunderbus has a multi-round clip, though…more blunder for your buck. ;-)
