Well, apparently that ain't so. See this article about a boy who used a pistol to shoot a very large animal.
Now, if I were to ask a certain person I know about this situation, he would say what a shame it was to kill an animal who managed to grow that big.
I'm glad I didn't see it in the forest. 5 inch tusks?!?
How odd. I don't know what is more disturbing - the existence of such an animal, or the three-hour, eight-shot ordeal to kill the beast.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the adrenaline rush was like for the kid as he spent three hours trying to kill a huge animal. Now having experienced such a rush associated with hunting/killing, what will he need to do in the future to replicate such a rush?
I have no problem with hunting, particularly the skilled hunting that requires one shot, one arrow to quickly kill the animal. But this kind of pursuit with a low-caliber pistol to kill a 1000 pound animal (why not use a shot gun, a canon or small nuclear device?) seems unnecessarily torturous.
Perhaps the folks at Heritage Christian Academy will throw the kid a party . . . perhaps they'll serve sausages . . .
Man, that is a lot of sausage!
ReplyDeleteAnd Chris, are you suggesting that hunting may lead to other forms of violence?
This was on ABC news this morning. Some people are calling it a hoax.
