Everyone draws the line somewhere, when it's OK to kill and when it isn't.
I'm sure there are practicing Buddhist's that don't think twice about slapping a mosquito. I know anti-hunters that draw the line just past fish, they have no problem eating a salmon steak while condemning bird hunters.
Here, we have some bird hunters that choose not to kill mammals. Then there are those of us that delineate between types of mammals. I, personally, currently draw the line at large predators, no problem deer and pig hunting but have no desire to shoot a brown bear or elephant or lion. For some reason a black bear is fair game until I find out if I don't like the meat. So's a buffalo. Personally I don't see the attraction to varminting, coyote shooting, live pigeon, tower shoots or South American Dove slaughters.
But that's me. As my friend Brian put much more eloquently than I ever could, it's all sport hunting. And we hang together or hang individually.
We all draw the line somewhere in our own minds.
