Franklin teen unfazed by note condemning lion hunt

[TBF]

98. Hi Michelle -

The thing is that he may be a "child", but that child has been set loose with a deadly weapon so don't be surprised if his activities are called into question. It is not as though he is out there armed with a Nerf gun - if he were your comments would be understandable. If you allow your "child" to make decisions that result in things being killed you may find he is questioned about his behavior. I think you need to expect that.

That aside, I grew up in a big family of hunters. I don't love the practice but would agree whole-heartedly that most of those kills are much more humane than anything happening in factory farms these days. I'm sure your family will eat the meat (as mine did) and that is to be commended.

As for the the cancer I am truly sorry to hear that part of the story. I have two young children myself and can only imagine what you are going through.

You were brave to come on here and deal with the snarky comments - in your place I might choose to ignore the internet for awhile. I do wish you and your family well -- peace, TBF
