: You must be a rare breed of hunter, because many of the hunters I know are macho braggarts who love to blast the life out of animals, so long as the trophy points are still intact. Power is all it is about for them. You are a minority I'm afraid.

I don't know the hunters you know but i am not a minority. Everyone thinks i am the minority because hunters have a bad reputation. I only know of a few hunters who love to kill animals just for killing them and they make me sick the way they could care less about the life they take away. However almost all of the hunters i know are like me because they are the ones who taught me they taught me how to be a good hunter.

: You mention respect here, saying you have tons of respect for the animal you blast, but in another post, you stated that the reason you didn't kill humans was because you respected them. Are these two different varieties of respect, types A & B? What determines the type of respect I earn from you? Humans get type A and animals get type B? Only animals with lots of pointy spikes on their heads get type B? Please explain your system.

I noticed you changed my words from "the animals I kill" to "the animals I blast" why the change???

The respect i have for animals is the same i have for humans, they aren't different in any way. However humans and animals are different. The question is how you way life. Is a humans life just as important as an animals? How about a plant they are still living. Is their life more important then a humans, because im sure you eat plants. For humans to survive something has to die. I respect plants animals and humans the same, but the value of their lives are different to me and to you.
