I think there are enough things to eat without hunting animals

Palin's moose hunting did not endear her to me.

Probably nothing did.

My dad grew up in a family of hunters. He had no taste for it. They teased him for being weak. In some ways, he was the strongest of the lot, because he dared to do what he thought was right.

As previously stated, I don’t believe that wild game should be killed for the sport of it. Killing for food is another matter. Often the deer herds become so large that they destroy crops and there is a need to reduce the herds.
We slaughter thousands of cattle daily for food and by products. One example: A close friend of mine works for a company that produces leather
components for a small fraction of the automobile industry. They produce leather headrests, armrests, seat covers, etc. This one company requires 5,000 hides daily for their needs. The company that supplies the hides is in Brazil. The company in Brazil merged with another company and now claims they have the capacity for 25,000 hides daily. That’s a lot of cattle being slaughtered for the meat and by products.
There are numerous people who raise deer for the meat and sell it to restaurants. These deer do not roam wild and are raised for the purpose of slaughter. I think the subject had to do with the killing of innocent animals like pets. Deer are not pets. How one treats this subject will remain controversal.
