Unfortunately I live in a country where hunting is all too common, and in some parts it is done with unbelievable cruelty - with traps, chasing and shooting wolves from helicopters etc. Now they are going so far that bears can be killed in their dens. It exceeds my mind of understanding how anyone can see this as sport or any form of recreation. More and more I feel that humans are by far the worst species on earth and that the planet would do so much better without them.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-91301327577701357142017-04-07T06:02:52.477+10:002017-04-07T06:02:52.477+10:00All Consuming: There is no justification.

"I do not understand hunting for pleasure and do not and cannot see it as recreation or sport.
