Mods, I didn't know where to post this, so if you know of a better place, please by all means, move the post. Crazy question, but is there such a state in the U.S. that either doesn't have hunting or doesn't permit it or is this something I'm going to have to put up with in any rural area that's away from the city urban areas in every state? This is an issue that really troubles me and I don't know what to say about it. As a vegan and animal lover, obviously, duh, I don't need to say how abhorrent and disgusting hunting is, but I'm stuck out here in the boonies in hillbillie hell and believe it or not, I've heard a very lame statement that hunting deer is a necessary evil because the deer eat and destroy crops and take the crops and food from people who need it. I know the argument of encroachment, but beyond that I'm at a loss for words and I don't know what to say. The whole thing saddens me and it literally makes my stomach sick, but I'm a square peg in a round hole. My husband and I are literally "the vegetarians" of the place, we're the ONLY people who don't eat meat. They must think we're aliens or weird or something, not that I care, but just to give you a background. I hear the gun blasts and my nerves shudder...I want to cry feeling startled and terrible anguish and pain for these beautiful animals who've done nothing but walk around in their habitat, minding their own business and being incredibly sweet and beautiful. I just don't understand it and I don't know how to deal with it. How am I supposed to accept such a horrible evil? I don't know which is worse, those who continue to eat meat, murder, or those who hunt for sport and meat, murder! I feel alone, sad, and at a loss for words.
