Very true and there isn't any reason today to hunt and I am a gun owner for 60 years never hunted except for men.

Yes.

Start first with the savage act of hunting animals and shooting, trapping or bow and arrow, it is abuse at the highest levels. Wounding many an animal to die a slow , painful death is disgusting.

Absolutely. Animal cruelty/abuse should be treated no differently than child abuse and cruelty. But i also hunch that i would be in the minority with that view.

Anyway, in those jurisdictions which also fail to adequately protect children, and they are many, i don't know whether such laws would make any difference. ?

I've had two years where the only meat I consumed was what I hunted or what I knew came from humane farms. Hopefully I'll go back to that permanently in 2-3 years.

Totally agree.
