Hunting photos should not be in the newspaper

Letter to the Editor,

I have nothing against the animal hunters who go out and get meat for their family.

I understand the human race has claimed the land and now the people want to keep the animal population down for safety and more room.

Still, I have to ask: Do we need to see the pictures of the great kills every year in the paper? Now, if you went out with a simple bow and arrow, I could see why you would be proud of your kill.

I do not want to tell hunters that they should not kill for your family’s winter survival. Just don’t put the picture in the paper.

A kill is sickening. Was that a fair fight? I give you your right to hunt, but I don’t want to open the paper and see your smile with a dead animal hanging up.
