Franklin teen unfazed by note condemning lion hunt

120. I misread and thought you purchased the one for 13k

I stand by the rest of what I wrote. Hunting for food is one thing. Hunting simply for bragging rights that you got to kill a cougar is a very different thing. I find it incredibly distasteful, much like people who go to Africa to kill a lion or an elephant for no other reason then to brag about it. It treats life as a frivolous thing, it treats animals as nothing more then something to be slaughtered for pleasure.

If your son was hunting to put food in your freezer that would be one thing. But he isn't. He is doing it for bragging rights, for no other reason then to be able to say "i killed a mountain lion" and in my opinion that is always a distasteful thing. If he was hunting for food he would be going after deer or moose or fowl, not after a cougar.
