As I've said before, you hunt to put food on your family's table....that's not only your right but your responsibility, but hunting as a sport??? Sorry, nothing spiritual about it unless you practice animal sacrifice as part of your religion.

ever grow a garden? raise chickens? pigs? go fishing? none of them are 'necessary'. personally, i think the fact that stores and all the goodies inside sanitized things too much. people see 'hamburger', not dead cow..or brisket, tenderloin, boneless breast instead of the chicken....neatly wrapped packages on display...all the dirty work done for you.
