I live right on the coast of CT and we have a severe deer problem, so bad that there's a day set aside every fall for a bow and arrow deer hunt to thin the herd,
the understanding being that the hunters will use the meat, hides, etc.

and every fall a group of people object to the hunt

i'm not a hunter and wouldn't own a gun,
but i think the idea of thinning the herd in this way is a good idea
and that the time the anti-hunting folks spend on self-righteous indignation
would be much better spent working at a soup kitchen, volunteering at an old folks home, etc.

i wasn't on last night but have read the discussion about the hunting deaths in WI

and I too think that Grainne's comment was offensive.
whether or not anyone knows the victims,
it was a tragedy.

my prayers go out to those families.
