Hmm, interesting perspective. Quite convincing too.

I have to admit that I am having problems forming a well-reasoned opinion on this matter though. Where is the problem? Killing wild animals in general or killing them for fun? Is it okay to kill them for food, for instance? We do that to domestic animals all the time, don't we? And in some ways killing for food is a lot like killing for fun. It is not inconceivable that what pleasure one hunter derives from hanging a lion's head in his hallway is comparable to the pleasure another hunter experiences by eating buffalo. Is one hunter more evil than the other?

yes its very ironical. And awkward too.

They will tell you not to criticize them for the tremendous success of their 'superior' wildlife management skills.

And add what Seppuku is saying and we place ourselves nicely between a rock and a hard place and our mouths are effectively zipped.

This is when the tree huggers can swoop in to save the day. Yes! being a vegetarian tree hugger puts one on a high pedestal, kind of a legitimate 'holier than thou' of sorts.

If only they were not so hopelessly outnumbered!
