Writer's Block: No bloody way

No. I was raised by a outdoor-sportsman and one of the things he impressed upon me from the time I was very young was that you only take what you need from nature. He never killed any animal while hunting or fishing that he didn't intend to eat. (To this day I still love venison and try to use it as opposed to beef when I can.) And if for some reason he couldn't take the meat for himself, he gave it to people who could use it.

Even though he loved hunting and fishing, he never understood people who did it just to take a life. He viewed it as a waste, and so do I.

I agree.

...and I don't have anything else to add.

I view it as a waste as well. For me to be friends with someone who did so, I'd have to have known them a long time and known a lot of really good qualities about them before I found out about the hunting, or it would never have become a close friendship in the first place. If we did make it to close friendship it would be a recurring discussion, for sure.
