twitterLetter: Hunting programs for youngsters set bad example
Sunday, Oct. 31, 1999 | 10:18 a.m.
It absolutely astounds me that a program such as this could be popular. Where are the parents who are supposed to be teaching something worthwhile in the lives of their children -- respect for all life? What these children are learning is that the animal suffering they cause is normal behavior and perfectly acceptable. It is not!
Teaching children to kill and murder animals goes against everything that is right and good! What you're teaching these children is that it's OK to slaughter a defenseless animal with a firearm. Gee, I wonder where these children will take this "learning experience." They are receiving the worst possible example.
When the time comes that these children have to confront whatever problems arise in their lives -- you need to remember these programs led them in the direction of picking up a gun to solve their problems. That's a fact!
