What narrow little boxes some people live in. They think because they can run to the corner grocery store and pick up their substance for the week, everyone can.

I just think you could find a better hobby than killing something.  I have always questioned how a person could get pleasure from watching something being shot and suffering.  I have never been around anyone who hunts so I just don't get it.

 Someone who gets pleasure out of this is SICK. I would NEVER have anything to do with people who hunt. IMO, they are BULLIES and COWARDS.

You obviously know nothing about hunting or hunters.  You better thank your lucky stars for them, otherwise we'd be inundated with deer and other animals in uncontrolled numbers.  Many would die a slow agonizing death due to starvation because there wouldn't be enough to eat.

Hunters don't hunt for the sake of killing something, they hunt for meat.  Most animals that are shot die instantly and their meat sustains many families.  If a hunter only wounds an animal, the rules say he must find it and put it out of misery.  There are also rules against "wanton waste" of an animal, leaving it to rot.

You ought to watch the TV program North Woods Law about hunting and fishing in Maine and you'd see how tightly regulated and patrolled it is.

Obviously the dentist did not read your rules. And that really is what we're talking about here.

No hostility.  My post pointed out that whatever you're basing your opinion on perhaps has no basis except "same-old, same-old" and I believe we have surpassed "same-old, same-old."

That's your 'belief' one that apparently has no basis in reality.  There will still be poaching and big game hunting over there and here, it's didn't even slow down since the incident in question.

Where did you read that because this is the latest news from NBC:

The Zimbabwe government has suspended the kind of hunting practiced by Palmer — no more bows — and halted all big game hunting around the park where Cecil roamed.

Dumb as a rock.

@Smug, I'm nominating you for a special award for having the most irritating avatar on the boards.  Congratulations!

Sorry but that report is just not credible, keep in mind the leader is a justified warlord, no way he's giving up that huge stream of revenue over a lion no less..........

Several minutes ago, someone wrote this:

"Obviously the dentist did not read your rules. And that really is what we're talking about here."

Actually, this thread started out with the OP asking whether her young relative was right to allege that meat-eaters were hypocritical if they objected to hunting down and killing a lion. 

Just sayin'.
