    Yeah sure I get the thrill of the hunt. What I don’t get is the incredible asymtery we developed in it. Shooting a lion with a sniperrifle makes no sense to me. The lion wouldn’t even know from where it hit him. Of course I exaggerated with the grizzly and the knife, but isn’t the thrill of any sport a fair (in theory) competition? These animals have not the slightest chance. And this slight chance is also just getting away if the hunter missed.

    Shooting an animal would feel to me like fighting a toddler that is also nailed to a chair.

      Effeciency. I know a lot of hunters that also eat what they kill, and adhear to limits. It’s a lot of work dressing and animal post kill. Also, its just stupid to hunt without a ranged weapon. Especially against larger animals.

      Now, to the guys that just hunt for sport and not eat the kill…their heads belong on a wall too.
