I should say that i am religious, and there is the good samaritan thing, would i pass you by john, in the event of you needing help, no. Would a Mallard pass by that farmer in need of help?. If he has shot in him, probably. Any help afforded though would only be a quack or two. The analogy is correct though. Show mercy and you will recieve it. If i ever need help, im sure there will be a queue, indeed, i had a bad illness, that now has dissapeared, coincidence? who knows. When passing, good people suffer less, if at all. Although Jesus was supposedly good, his passing could not have been free of suffering... |

No they are not Vinny, if you take that attitude, then humans deserve obliterating, pronto like, the world really would be eden then.
Suffering indeed patman, thats the key, my second function in my stack of personality traits is introverted feeling, what that means is that i can feel what others feel, and it is a curse, because of that my own feelings become indistinct.
In a forest, a pigeon is shot, not dead but badly injured, wing broken, bleeding, leg bent, unusable, all is pain. Inside, it panics, full of dread, it knows it will die, it tries to fly away but cant.
Transfer that to Johnof gwent and vinny. Oh, i cant, the node for suffering, empathy isnt there. Its only a pigeon though. Who cares. I do.

If a pigeon is shot and eaten, I don't have a problem with that.
If a pigeon is shot for fun rather than food, and goes to waste, I have a problem with that.
Killing animals for food is natural.
Killing animals for fun, and not eating them, is barbaric.

If some creatures are pests, and are inedible, and have to be culled or eradicated, does each life need to be mourned, or can a shooter enjoy shooting as a sport?

There's been an increase in the number of magpies around where I sometimes shoot. The locals say gamekeepers used to keep them down because they preyed on the game birds being reared, but as rearing pheasant and partridge isn't so widespread now, magpies aren't shot as much...
