So much more public involvement.

That said. NWN for crying out loud why do you not do your duty and go for it?

Very few will admit to the enjoyment of inflicting pain or killing a living creature but but many do and justify their actions accordingly .
Everything that is born will eventually die , the question is, should this be a natural progression or do we have the right to end it early for the benefit of many ?
The soldier kills an enemy before the enemy kills him and his family . The farmer breeds and subsequently kills a cow to feed his family as hunger will not wait till the animal dies of old age and if that was not the case it wouldn't have been bred in the first place .

Simplistic ? Agreed , but it is a cycle that has been in existence since life began . Those of us who have a moral outrage against such persons as a lion killing dentist or halal slaughtermen ,though in a majority , are forced to accept the status quo .

When most of the world's wildlife has been wiped out and we reflect on what we have done it will be to late ,but those who contributed most to the demise will still have the same mentality .

For me, the pleasure from killing brigade don't enjender moral outrage so much as a natural defence mechanisim that the individuals concerned aren't what I would consider to be well balanced people. So, genuinely, If I'm sitting in a dentists chair, drugged up and waiting for some puny little person tooled up with sharp dentistry kit, the last thing I'd want to know is that he got his kicks killing big game.

Perhaps it's me, but I'd really worry if my partner's riding circle decided to take a pack of underfed dogs with them and then watched whilst they ripped another breed of dog apart, more so if they decided to smother one of their number with its blood.

Still, we've all got our quirks haven't we, so not to worry!
