292. Y'know the olden days

when men went out and brought the grub to the table--just a romantic fantasy now (since of course we don't have enough animals or woods for everyone to keep doing it into the future).

These days the killed animal becomes a fetish object, a sports trophy, if it is not needed for food. Animals and nature are disrespected by this wanton killing. Animals are not tomatoes. But one day, people will get it. Just think about it. It's a fugly thing to do. You can defend it all you want, but it's a piggy practice. And as I've said, it's more about shootin' than huntin" anymore. But I understand there's a fraternity out there of diehards who are afraid of somebody prying it from their cold dead hands.

No, I want people to stop and think what they are doing. They will one day. I am talking about this type of sport killing (not people who are poor and must eat). Sport killing.
