I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm not against hunting (I'd never do it myself, but I don't oppose it) as long as the animal in question is killed quickly and humanely, and is not endangered. My guess is that the child in question was brought up in a family in which hunting played a large part in their lives, although as a NYC liberal I can't really appreciate that. I'll also note that some Michigan schools close for the first day of deer season.
I grew up hunting, and get it. Those are some of the best times, they even tame some people who don’t behave well, as I found trying to bond with my brothers, before they behaved as they usually did even on the hunt.
I think my meaning was clear in that my brothers weren’t the best people, and these were some of the experiences whereby we were in some kind of neutral coexistence. Your meaning is a projection on my experience, which to us is more of a harvesting of wild cattle, and it was done in as ethical a manner as possible. I don’t have a feeling on the theoretical posed by your projection. Your question to me could as equitably be asked of farmers who cull their cattle or fisherman who catch fish.

Best times for whom? How are people who kill for sport "tame?"

Are there any species that you feel should not be hunted for sport? How do you justify the exceptions?
