My son was home over the weekend and on his way back to college, he hit a deer just down the road. I got a call, "Dad I hit a deer. it's not dead and it keeps trying to get up. Can you get down here fast." So I grabbed my 9MM and a knife and headed down the road. Sure enough, it was struggling to get up and visually exhausted. I told my son that I'm going to shoot it and we'll throw it in the back of the truck. It was over quick.
We hunt. This son shot his first buck with a crossbow at about age 12. He told me last that night he never felt so bad for an animal and was glad I was there to end it's suffering. She didn't go to waste either: managed to get 30 lbs of boned out meat from her.
With 95% of all mature doe successfully bred, I figured she was carrying. This got me thinking, if the ASPCA and PETA want me to lay down my bow, maybe they should stop driving cars. Below is a picture of 3 unborn fawns that were in this doe. That's 4 dead deer right there in one shot.
Most people know PETA's stance on hunting:
"PETA opposes all violence, whether the victims are animals or humans. We inform people about hunting, which is nothing more than a violent form of entertainment that almost no one needs for survival. Hunting disrupts migration and hibernation, tears families apart, and causes animals immense suffering."
We all here love our dogs but if you're a hunter, I'm going to let you in on a not so well mentioned stance the ASPCA has on hunting.
"The ASPCA is opposed to hunting animals for sport, even if the animals killed in this way are subsequently consumed. The ASPCA does recognize that wildlife management may be necessary in situations where animal and human interests collide, but urges that management strategies be nonlethal wherever possible and never include avoidable suffering or distress."
Maybe these two groups need to see how much an animal sufferers from being struck by a vehicle. Better yet, how about a thank you for ending that animals suffering.
