Strong feelings in this post.
All of you that have never eaten any beef, pork, lamb, or chicken can say "how can they shoot those poor geese".....
The rest of us would be totally hypocritical to harrass folks from hunting instead of hiring some slob to run an animal into a small pen or gate and hit them with a sledge or electric prod. (By buying meat in a grocery store, that is exactly what we do, hire cheap labor to do the killing for us.)
I grew up in Montana, and from age 10-18 hunted or fished virtually every weekend. All the hunters I knew there ate the game they shot for food, and what they didn't want to eat, or had too much of, they donated to local homeless shelters. Wlid game is leaner, has no additives or steroids, and is generally a better source of protein.
Not to mention all the benefits hunting brings to the actual herds and flocks of animals. With all the regulations and licensing going on with hunting today, there are more healthy animals in every species that is allowed to be hunted today then there were 50 and 100 years ago.
I guess all those Peta folks would prefer to see entire herds and flocks of animals suffer from and die of starvation instead of a percentage of them being harvested to feed people.
To all the PETA folks......
