Well, we should have compassion for the deer. They deserve to live just like you and I. We are all sentient beings worthy of compassion. Hell, hunters like those in this thread like have wiped out hundreds of animal populations and species thanks to hunters’ gross violent attitudes and desire to kill without ever thinking twice about the victim or conservation.

What is the comedy here?

^(Or are you proving my point? Yep. How mature of you)

Exactly. And some of it is simply a violent tradition - violence can be taught to children and people grow up to put on mental blinders to protect themselves from the cognitive dissonance. (Hence the downvotes for asking not to kill. People’s defense system is triggered)

There is no difference between the dog in your living room and the animals you are shooting. Get a non-violent hobby and leave the animals alone!
