I know. That is what people must do who live a life based on hunting.
That is why the VP goes duck hunting all the time.
Once people learn to become insensitive about killing animals then they can when it comes to the torture of POWs and the killing of other people as well, be "harden up" as you say. Hunting and war are so linked in that manner.
And when it comes to progress and drilling for oil they can become insensitive about wild animals and forested areas. Like Reagan used to say "if you have seen one tree you have seen them all" and so saving the redwood trees was not important in his book of ill-logic.
And likewise they can be insensitive about the injury and murder of hundreds of children in Iraq because "it's only a bird" - kind of philosopy in the hardening of the heart.
Of course when you harden your heart like the VP did you might have to buy one of those fake ones to keep going.
