This cartoon is not the slightest bit like fiction.
  
I heard the heart-wrenching, spiritually devastating, 
unending wailing of a pheasant whose mate Bart 
-- who was completely domesticated -- had killed for 
sport when I was out of sight.

My dogs have always known that they are not allowed 
to take one step towards wildlife.  He was strongly
disciplined -- apparently strongly enough -- as there 
were no further tragedies.

Hunting creates devastating unending emotional suffering.

Without hunting, wildlife populations do in fact eventually
self-regulate.  The proclivity to breed is dependent on the 
environment.  With planning, our farms would survive; and 
all lives would be better.  We can co-exist with wildlife.

The DNR plants crops solely for the purpose of spurring
excessive population growth of deer so that people can
shoot them for pleasure.

As an aside:

The meat from recreational hunting is costing hunters 
60 dollars per pound, not including expenses for
hunting property, hunting cabins/shacks, hunting trailers
or time spent on the activity or time spent traveling.

Even the most efficient killer cannot compete with the
cost of eggs or milk (or livestock meat) when they walk 
away with 70 pounds of venison -- with the costs of 
lying in wait, hauling, butchering, making cuts, 
wrapping and storing.

The meat from recreational fishing is costing fishers
830 dollars per pound, not including time spent on the
activity or time spent traveling.

The money issue is an aside, as the term "recreational" 
is a travesty.  Recreational killing?

It's bad enough that there is carnivorism, and bad enough that 
humans ever hunted or fished to survive.  But sport?

My uncle Lester hunted annually his entire life.  Then, at
age 82, he had a doe in his rifle-sight when he suddenly saw
the doe for what she was and couldn't pull the trigger.

Upon those who don't repent, every bit of innocent suffering
in the universe will be avenged.
