I don't think it is unethical or cruel, but do think posting that particular or type of picture on the net shows lack of fore-thought for someone else's possible feelings & how a subsequent outcry of foul could hurt our sport.

We, in the hunting fraternity, know it happens - the chance happens every time we shoot a female - but I feel we should take every opportunity to hide this type of unfortunate occurance from those who would be upset by it.

During moose season, those of us who are ethical, shoot a 'dry' cow moose, rather than one with a calf or two. We know damn well the dry cow is pregnant, was just bred that fall. At one time, when shooting a cow, we were required to 'mail' in the entire uterous with the fetus attached - Because it was shot mid to late October, the fetus would only be a couple weeks old at best. We did this, of course, but didn't mail pictures of the 'operation' to the SPCA or FITA(or whatever it's called. This was pre-internet. Today, I think showing such a picture on the web, is much the same as directing it to one of the anti groups and is outright asking for trouble that would otherwise not happen.

Some would say, tough, get over it - but I think that attitude is a poor one under the circumstances of global antihunting pressure. We know we need to hunt, to maintain game species, they don't and merely would like to think of a baby saved to grow up, yadda yadda yadda & be pulled down to feed dingo or wolf pups.

There are many people who are fence sitters on whether hunting is ethical or should be banned outright. We've been fighting for their support for a long time, using facts on game hunting control to increase #'s as well as helping habitat, etc.

I feel pictures such as the above, do not help us with the fence sitters, rather the opposite & give fuel to those who continually badger the politicians to stop hunting entirely.

We know it happens, but the world wide web is not the place to show ALL of the pictures. my opinion.

edited to correct some text - dates, etc.
