I agree these fools should be condemned for ‘hunting’ in such a manner and should be ridiculed/outcast/humiliated within hunting groups. I don’t really see what is inhumane about the practice though.
Someone raises an animal in captivity with the intent and purpose of selective breeding and controlled killing. The only mechanical difference I see between that and farming animals for the meat market is the method of death, in this case a not so certain shot from a rifle. Forgot the ends, I’m just talking about the means, which is the only place where humane or inhumane comes into it, as most would agree the one does not justify the other.
Is that point clear? Maybe if I reframe it as a question: So if you shot a captive animal and used its meat for food, skin for leather, bones for tools, how is that in any way a more humane treatment of the animal than if you shot it, cut its head off and put it on your wall? I would say the second guy in the question is a malicious idiot, but if he’s a good shot he has not been any less humane in his treatment of the animal.
I hope I’m missing something, because I feel like I should be happy about this kind of ban. But I’m not.
