No, hunting is NOT a legitimate sport. The idea that hunting is a legitimate sport is absolutely ludicrous. The audacity that these killers have to say that slaughtering an innocent animal is some kind of accomplishment shows that they truly have mental issues. Let's face it. Most of these "Yeehas" who enjoy killing are trying to overcompensate for other shortcomings they have in their life. They have to feel dominant. They have to feel they are better than something else. They have to feel power in the same way rapists, child molesters and murderers do. It all has to do with their warped sense of self.

The odd thing is, most times they try to legitimate their slaughter by saying things like, "It's for the environment." Or, "They're a danger to motorists." (Most times the animals run into the streets because they are being chased by the killers.) "If we don't hunt them, the animals will starve to death. It's the humane thing to do." Hmmmm, if that be the case then I guess we should start killing all the poor hungry people of the world, too. "I eat them." This is not the dark ages, we have supermarkets in this country. Also please note, there is no asterisk on the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill."

The sad thing is that like most things in this world that are totally and morally wrong, it comes down to money. Hunting makes big bucks (no pun intended). Hunting license fees, guns, all the cute little camouflage outfits they wear, etc., are all great money makers.

Speaking of those outfits, it's so funny to see these idiots all dressed up like they are going to war. Ha! That would take courage, which is one thing hunters totally lack. There is no courage in hiding, luring and slaughtering. Again, I state, they have a warped sense of self the same as rapists, child molesters and murderers. They need to dominate. They need victims.

For something to be a legitimate sport, there must be some sort of competition. There is no competition in hunting when someone has a gun and someone does not. It's as simple as that. Would it be a sport if a seasoned athlete ran a race against a 90-year-old paraplegic? I think not. But then again these killers do not want a fair fight. They are cowards.

It's a very sad and disturbing thing that every year at this time people, especially children, are subjected to the sight of "Bambi" or "Rudolph" tied to some killer's car. I can only pray for instant karma.
