I think that guy from the Most Dangerous Game got it right.
Rant ahead.
So I was reading this short story by someone online. So I reviewed and said that it was imcompatible for someone to be compassionate about human rights but then turn around and be a hunter. The author replied. This totally pissed me off:
Meh, I think it's possible to care about how creatures are treated and still
hunt animals.Besides, most hunters kill humanely and if the animal is still alive they're quick to put it out of it's misery. I'm personally a member of my school's animal rights group
and I'm an avid hunter.
WHAT THE HELL! I think that last bit pisses me off the most. To me it's like saying "I'm a member of my school's GSA but every weekend I drive around with my redneck friends and gaybash. GO HATE CRIMES!" Also the other members of that animal rights group should be like "What the hell!"
I'm sorry. Had to get that one out.
