I've always said: "when we give the animals guns and teach them how to shoot, we might be able to call it a fair fight - or 'sport' as the hunters say."

Can you think of a more devious and absurd scene than macho idiots hiding in bushes, or behind blinds, wearing camouflage suits and hats, using fake ducks and fake quacking in order to lure a tiny, 3lb bird into the scope of a powerful gun to blast it out of the sky?

Then, rather than get their feet wet, the proud hunters send a poor dog out swimming in all kinds of weather, in order to gather and retrieve their prey. This vision would be hilarious if it weren't for the dead and abused creatures involved.

Please don't ask me to feel sorry for the hunters (murderers) who do get hurt during their forays into animals' territories with their powerful weapons and devious tactics...I have wept for too many years for their millions of victims.
