i grew up in a hunting family, my brother still hunts and i don't begrudge him his bird shooting.
as for me, i just had a belly full one day.  the sight of another bloody, dead animal saddened me to my core.
sold my guns and quit shooting altogether.
i don't understand how a person can love and value their pets but still shoot animals dead...for 'sport'.
it's not a 'sport' if one side doesn't know there's a game on.
