A good father would be equipping his 9 year old daughter with $18,000 worth of birth control.

3. Can teaching children how to kill & desensitizing them to it be considered child abuse?
I think so.
Leftists should be denied the ability to determine child abuse cases.

Let her "bolt" the animal?

I think we do more harm by pretending there's a nice clean wall between meat and the reality of killing.
I hunted as a child; deer, antelope, elk, and a ton of rabbits. It did such a piss-poor job of desensitizing me to death that I've been a vegan for my entire adult life.

8. To allow your 7-year-old daughter to kill an animal is also a crime in my eyes. n/t

166. Never understood the appeal of KILLING a helpless animal for fun.
Seriously... never got that. HOW could it be FUN to cause the pain and fear and suffering of an animal that FEELS those things???? I don't care what political party someone is, killing an animal for FUN (i dont' care if you say you eat it later,) is wrong. Worse is having your children do it.
Really ****ing wishes someone had a gun:

contributing to the clutching of several pearls.
Aggravated feelings-assault.
All punishable but up to (but not exceeding) 3 frowning faces. Possibly you could argue it down to a disappointed head shake and sigh.
Except some liberals would happily destroy families, imprison parents and send children to government shelters to be incessantly told why their parents were evil.

24. He's just pandering.
A rich asshole like him doesn't need to hunt. He's just showing out for the rednecks.

33. Advice. Don't bring dead Bambi home to your daughters
They will not like seeing that. Even after having it all dressed and cut by a butcher, they won't eat it. Oh, I remember that very well. NONE of us would eat it. Besides my daughters, all I could see in my mind was that bloody mess. It SMELLED to high hell being cooked. Husband had to take the meat back to the butcher to sell it. When he tried to take them shooting with him years later, they cried and screamed, BAMBI at him.
Personally, I am not crazy about meat to begin with. A nice crunchy salad tastes better to me than a steak. The only way I can eat steak, or other meat, is to disguise the taste of the meat with sauces and spices. Plain meat is gross. If I had to shoot animals for food, I could very, very easily become a vegetarian.

35. And we wonder why we're losing the white working class vote.
News flash life exists outside of cities, and life exists outside of the coasts. That meat you buy at the supermarket? It was an animal once, those shoes you're wearing? They were an animal once. People hunt, fish, camp, etc deal with it. The majority of this country isn't living some cosmopolitan life style discussing liberal politics over wine in their condos. Some of us on the left go into the woods, hunt, get dirty at our jobs and drive pickups. Nothing more aggravating than hearing people degrade my way of life and then ask why people like me "vote against our own interest", of course I know better but you can't expect people to be on your side politically when you do nothing but insult them.
Apparently the next post didn't turn out how the DUmbass intended so he covered it like a cat covering a turd:

57. All the hunting advocates in this thread
When animals are lured into position and blindsided by opponents with lethal weapons, or released with no possible escape for the sole purpose of the thrill of the kill, then I say no, HELL NO, will I ever be okay with that. I won't be okay with it regardless of the age, sex, religion or any other demographic of the so-called "hunter."
When animals are given the same advantages, or even a fighting chance, then I will change my opinion. And before you ask, I do not eat animals, use any part of their bodies for clothing, shoes, car seats, cheap trinkets from China or anything else. I am not arrogant enough to think that my needs/wants are more important than the life of a sentient being.
And it goes on like this...
