I went back and reread what you wrote, and I reiterate.

Here’s another post. Provide the stats on the number of children that become serial killers because they shoot animals. I am sure you know what you are spouting here, and I’d like to see the proof.

The number of licensed hunters in every state is available on the internet. All state wildlife agencies have these, including a breakdown of how many youths hunt.

I will apologize, if I read your post wrong. But I think what you are saying is that kids that harvest animals (rather than fat lazy ones that get their prepackaged meat in tubs of hormone ingested meat from the store) are more prone to kill people, become serial killers.

I’d like to see your stats and research on this. I think you have ingested too much animal rights BS.

And yes, some animal species do kill larger animals and leave meat to rot. Heck, I’ve seen my domesticated housecat kill all kinds of critters just for fun. I don’t think people should do this, but I think this girl provided wildlife management dollars (by buying a hunting license) that goes towards wildlife management, and the meat is not wasted, locals benefit from the dollars and meat.

However, I think in this paticular story, the unspoken truth is that hungry Africans get to eat the meat from the elephant. And I know for a fact big game hunters provide a lot of food and $$$ to hunt in these African places, dollars that keep some folks from killing elephants to sell on the black market, poaching animals indiscriminately.

BTW, how much money has, say, the Humane Society of the U.S, ever contributed to wildlife management in this, or any country?

Check into it sometime, you will be surprised.

Once again, you're shooting at the wrong target, ga.
