Well it helps if their dead before you cook them.



Thats why its important to train them with gun safety as well, never walk around with a loaded rifle, all ways have it un cocked as well for quick loading and so you know the kid hasn't got it loaded, when the quarry appears, then load, never run a with a loaded gun when pursuing the quarry is it gets away from the first shot, never climb over anything with a loaded gun, also important to circle and put your target with a hill if you can behind it to take the bullet if you miss, and most of all never shoot when there is a person in front of you, even if there 50 metres away and twenty metres to the left or right of the target.
I have taken out my nephews hunting and with my cousins and their nephews and they all enjoyed themselves immensely.



We can live in harmony with the wolves they can take their kills, and we can take ours, there is enough deer meat to to go around, as long as the wolves keep out of human habitats of course.
When it comes to deer, I believe you should eat what you kill.
And they are delicious.



I'm aware of that, berrys, yams, fruit , veges, but meat is important too.





I was talking about being insensitive to killing, the kids playing violent video games are being brainwashed by them onto devalueing human life.
Whereas I, provided that person deserved respect, have respect for human life.



I do, I just don't place it on par with human life like you do.





Rabbit= food.
Nice try, I was referring to that you don't need to hunt out in the wild to live. I agree, the world may go down hill in the next 25 years, but you, since you are Christian, I would suppose have faith in God to rescue you.

Maybe someday in the future some people in the UK, Canada, and Australia will have to hunt to survive (I'm following your logic...)...but to me all the lives that would be lost by hunting are not worth the few it may save. Also, since the world most likely wont collapse this generation, there is no need to learn how to hunt, and basically, there is no reason to hunt at all.

Your nephews probably like it because they were taught to like it and of course they are gonna try to be just like their uncles. I wasn't taught either way, I formed my own eduacated opinion.

Yes, but its fictional. Killing a human in a video game is not as bad as killing a rabbit in real life. They will get de-sensitized to killing both ways, but especially the latter.

From what I'm reading, no, you do not. Did I ever say animals are equal to humans? No. I said that people should not hunt them, since it is un-needed killing of an innocent life.

See, you just view rabbits as food, not as a life.

I like how people are now resorting to hypothetical reasons (eg. the earth will end soon and it will be needed to survive) to try to prove hunting is ok. Got desperate, haven't we?

Wrong...depending on where you are there is not likely to be a lot of edible vegetation. What little there is requires endless hours of foraging and eating everyday. You literally have to find and eat the plants non stop all day. This is what many monkeys do to survive. However, with the human's need for shelter, fire, etc there is much more to do then eat. Ask any survival expert and they will tell you that while water is most important, eventually you need meat. It gives the most food all at once.

Sorry but banana trees and orange groves don't grow wild in most wildernesses.
And is everyone going to become a tarzan and get lost in the jungle? No. Anmon is making a hypothetical guess that we will need to hunt in the future to live, which there is no proof of.


Catch me if you can.
