In response to this horrible crime scene photo, a Facebook friend innocently asked me, “What is the reason they do this?”
As I’ve said before, forget hunters’ feeble rationalizations. All I could tell her was: For fun? Sport? Hate? Intolerance? An overinflated sense of entitlement? Because they’re psychopaths?
Take your pick.
It seems there are a lot of reasons people can dream up to want to kill the wildlife their area is blessed with—especially if they already have their minds made up to be intolerant. Folks need to decide to accept their animal neighbors and adopt the old adage, “live and let live.”
While speculating on a murderer’s motive might make interesting tea time conversation, when it comes down to it, I don’t want to hear their justifications, their misguided notions, how they compartmentalize their killings or objectify their victims, I just want the behavior to end—one way or another.

Because they can !
And they want to use their guns for “recreational fun”
And
Just because we can’t understand animal’s language; humans feel they can kill them for target practice.
They don’t “speaka the English ”
So allowed to kill that we don’t understand …
It’s immoral this prejudice and stupidity
Really, really tragic
Speciesism is a substitute for all the other isms that have fallen out of fashion over the years.
So true, thank you!
