For some reason that post is in the MO thread so I cannot respond there.
I’m not a big fan of hunting but I understand it’s a sport as old as dinosaurs. But anyone who would shoot harmless little critters crossing a street should be hung from their nuts.

It’s a read only thread. Kind of like the cold water torture treatment I guess. We owned a sanctuary for injured animals in Colorado. So you can understand my feelings. Why not just get the vest and boots on and go pop some criminals instead. Everyone blasts the ASHI forum but at least it’s about home inspection.

I had eggs for breakfast today. They’re really easy to shoot and not quite as cute as little chickee’s and ducklings!
Ever eat eggs Erol?
Will this discussion progress into Roe vs Wade?   
Your suggested form of punishment seems cruel and unusual from a human perspective! Ouch.
As a Hunter, I fully support the efforts of these Organizations. Most people fail to realize that Taxpayers dollars are not used to fund the creation of Game Lands as well as Preservation efforts. Revenues generated thru Hunting Permits are what sustain the preservation of wildlife habitats and State gamelands.
True Hunters are Conservationists as they realize the importance of the preservation of Habitats and Feeding Grounds. Hunters thru Fees and Stamps are the ones paying for the Creation and Preservation of the Environments.

Actually —true hunters hunt for FOOD. There is no honor in shooting an animal with no real defences.
Maybe if you used a spear to kill a Cape buffalo, so your familly could eat. That would be sporting. I guess

I don’t hunt, much. Mostly fish. Just like to egg you guys on sometimes. No pun intended.
I love to shoot though. At the range. The 'Ole Red Rider doesn't hurt the animals I shoot it with. Just gets their attention. You have to lob those BB's in like mortars with it.

I think you should thank your ancestors that they had the ability to hunt or you just might not be here.
Evolution takes on many forms. Physical changes are very very slow taking millions of years while evolution of general society values is held back merely by our own ignorance.
I do a lot of genealogy research and appreciate that my ancestors did what they had to do in order to survive. There is a difference between that and shooting something because you have a gun in your hand and you see something that moves.

It sounds like you have not much idea on what hunting involves.
I think TV has shown a lot of the wrong information on many things .
