Somer, would you rather kill an animal for food QUICKLY (which is what a REAL hunter does) or would you rather that animal die a slow death by starvation? I choose the former. By the way, wolf packs are dwindling as well due to humans. All of our development over their territory is slowly killing them off. They have nowhere to go... and guess what that means? Death for them too. To me, it's sad what this world is coming to.
