Except that every kid is taught that you never bring a firearm to bear on something you aren’t planning to kill, not by accident, not when unloaded, not ever. Having seen mortality via a hunt, you develop a reverence and respect for all life.

I suppose when PETA was taking dogs from the shelter in NC and killing them in the back of a van, they were missed the similarity of their actions to serial killers, i.e., seeing “others” as disposable simply on a whim. Strange, I know of no hunters who view their prey in such a manner.
