Re: Can Someone Explain Hunting to Me?
[ QUOTE ]
For some reason I find that hunting small prey, such as birds, is okay - while hunting bigger animals, such as bears, moose, deer, and lions - is not.
The reason I don't like that latter is because of the unfair advantage the hunter has. The animal has absolutely no chance but to hope that the hunter misses his shot(s).

Isn't this *more* true for small game?

What I would accept and respect is "fair hunting". No firearms. Let's test the courage of hunters by allowing them to hunt with primitive weapons such as a knife and bow and arrow only. Let's see someone attack a moose with a knife. Now it's actually exciting - there's actually a good chance the challenger (the hunter) loses.

I don't think deer hunting with a bow and arrow is more courageous than with a gun.
Maybe lionesses should be declawed - let's make it a fair fight with the zebra.
