(17,367 posts)Earlier this year, a very affluent old high school classmate of mine lost two sons in a very strange and very tragic car accident. Everyone that was familiar with the details of the accident was amazed at how it had happened and that both boys were killed. It was sad that two young lives were lost.
When the families began the funeral and griefing process, they posted various pictures of the boys in Africa and other countries with animals dead in front of them. The boys proudly showed their large rifles strapped to their shoulders. Great big grins covered their faces at their "prizes".
I make no comment as to whether or not karma (or perhaps more aptly "Mother Nature"
took revenge on these two boys for their kills because I don't know the answer to that, but I do admit that the thought of karma has crossed my mind.
I do not think it is wrong to kill for food. I do think it is most assuredly wrong to kill for mere sport.
Sometimes I think the earth reminds us who is really in charge here.
