The Elephant in the Room

A posting about a DGU against a home-intruding bear somehow elicits a response that it was “shocking and evil” and segues into going to other countries to hunt is “disgusting and shows contempt for God’s creation.” [More]

I’ll take the side that an uninvited and unpredictable animal in my home, two-legged or four — is fair game. And while I never personally have trophy-hunted, I understand that aside from monetary benefits to the society that facilitates it, there is also another group that (unsurprisingly) benefits.

As for bringing God’s will into the argument, I confess I’m out of my depth (show me a human being who isn’t), but would not discount citing “mighty hunter before the Lord” Nimrod and “cunning hunter” Esau, or Genesis 9:3.

And loaves and fishes appear problematic, PETA hysteria notwithstanding.

As for non-food uses, I ain’t givin’ up my Center for Biological Diversity gorilla hand ashtray.

Outside Chance

Police said the homeowner was working on his property, which is not his primary residence when he was met with an intruder on the porch who was armed with a baseball bat and a knife. Police said the struggle moved from the porch down into the yard, where the homeowner pulled a gun and shot the other man. [More]

There’s an important reminder here for those who do yard work.
