whats the deal with hunting seasons
Apparently November was deer hunting season, and I saw some guy with a dead buck (a male deer) on the back of his Ford truck. And even recently there was a CNN news video about some 5 year old kid shooting down a grown black bear. This link may expire soon: (http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/

I know in India also there is hunting and people have their own reasons, I am guessing the majority of them are killing animals for food and for selling them.
But here in the USA its called game hunting and people shoot down these poor LIVING creatures for no reason. I can understand that in the really old days when man was hunting with sticks and stones the thrill of a kill would have been extremely satisfying, but in the recent times they hunt with high caliber rifles, sitting hidden on some tree with all sorts of hi-tech gear.
What chance does the poor animal have, it doesn't pose any threat to them nor can it even evade them. Shooting down an animal when it didn't even harm you makes no sense to me :-((.
Isn't it cowardly to shoot something without even giving it a fair chance to survive or fight back. If they really want to hunt animals why cant they shoot them with tranquilizers ?? Man has certainly gone crazy with power.
And the parents and grand parents of that 5 year old are actually proud of what the kid did ??? Whats wrong with these people, I mean here they are encouraging a 5 year old kid to use a rifle and then they all act surprised when these kids shoot down their school friends just to make a point. ( I am sorry if I hurt the sentiments of the affected but there really is something wrong with a system that allows youngsters to use a firearm.).
I have heard a few friends at school talking about the exciting duck and geese hunting season in (i think) alabama. Once again I am struck by how excited they are to shoot down a defenseless bird with their rifles... how can they enjoy this.
How would they feel if they were hunted down with long range rifles and sniffer dogs drag their still living but fatally wounded carcasses.
The world will soon miss a large number of its species and the primary reason is the homosapien - the most destructive species to inhabit planet earth :( it sucks to realize the truth.
