Quote: Edited the comment above to the relevant paragraphs. Personally I don't think it "sorts out the "men from the boys" to consider animal cruelty, wounding an animal, failing to finish it off, is just a "say fuck and move on" attitude. Nothing to do with "stiff upper lip" at all, but a disregard for animal welfare and simple empathy. Of course almost all hunters who have hunted more than a bit, may have lost an animal wounded and have not been able to finish off due to falure to find it again, loosing it or other circumstances. Maybe this is what you are saying above though? ie even though efforts were made to recover the animal, it could not be? But an attitude to "say fuck it and forget it" is not what this forum is about. On some forums in NZ and Aust, the "fuck it" attitude is often promoted. These persons should not be "hunting" at all and some of them "hunt" only on their own posts on their own forums and never in real lfe in the field anyway. But do influence other newbies "learning" off the internet. |
