Appropriate punishment for animal cruelty

[Downthestretch55]

This has been an interesting thread.
I've stayed out for a while, as it seems that comparing all hunters to three deranged children shooting horses reall makes all hunters bad people.
Quite the comparison.
Yes, Danzig, you are right on all counts.
Sometimes bringing truth to prejudice just ain't gonna turn that mentality around, sad to say.
Yes, I hunt and I fish.
Yes, I eat what I take. I don't shoot coyotes, foxes, bobcats...or anything else that I don't intend to prepare in my kitchen in the best way possible.
Yes, I also plant a garden.
I throw back fish if they're undersized (though the PETA folks tried to outlaw fishing in the past, as it hurt the little fish's lips)...OH MY!!
Comparing responsible hunters and fishermen (women) with three yahoos in a pickup shooting grazing horses is just a lot of manure.
On a side note, I went bowling a week ago. A lady that had been drinking far too much picked up her bowling ball, walked back to slug down another sip before she tossed it down the lane, but dropped it on one of her team mate's feet....a broken toe.
I'm tellin' ya!!!! BOWLING SHOULD BE OUTLAWED!!!!!!!!!
