I’m not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I’m talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they’re obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the “tradition” stuff, it’s just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don’t tell me it’s to eat, like I said, I’m not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don’t tell me you’re respectful to the animals you kill; I don’t believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

    Lol, up votes and down votes are pretty even for the post, but all the comments I’m making questioning people’s excuses for why hunting is great, actually, are getting down voted. I can’t tell if this is an unpopular opinion or not.

        Yeah, I guess not. I’d just expect it to be just as one sided in the post as it is in the comments. Maybe it’s just I thought it was unpopular because once side is so much louder than the other. Oh well.
