I think it could go either way. Some psycho could get hot about shedding blood and the whole death thing. The last 2 years I hunted deer I used a .44mag revolver.and the first kill I had was a little messy. Made me think about self - defense (concealed carry was an issue in Ohio at that time.) and I realized how final it was to be shot with a large bore handgun. If you shot a man with it you could probably never repair the wound channel. there is a good chance that shooting someone in the arm or leg would kill them. Experience made me decide not to get a concealed carry license, prudent behavior being the most important element of self defense. I don't hunt any longer but I'm not philosophically opposed to it. I'd like to say that I would use deadly force to defend myself at home and I don't think I would have a problem with killing someone who was trying to hurt me in my home.

thats a good Question. If a hunter goes out and kills an animal, at least an animal that is not endangered or close to extinction, it is not illegal and you wont go to jail for it. Kiling a human is ilegal and theres always possibility of a life sentence. knowing that i dont think it should be easier to kill a human once you kill an animal.

Of course it would be easier to kill an animal,animals don't have souls.No different killing an animal than cutting down a tree or pulling a carrot out of the ground.

I do not believe so because my grandad can kill an animal if it is in pain or distress and will not survive by breaking its neck but i could not see him killing a human but i could not do either i think you have to be slightly insane to want to kill a human for no reason unless you in army then it would be part of your job this is why some solders go mad after they have killed someone because it is not normal for humans to want to kill other humans

Some humans are no better then animals. Bin Laden, Bucky Phillips, Islama Fascist, Adolph Hitler, Himmler are some of my best examples.
It is always difficult for a moral person to kill a human, but at times it is necessary.
Try to rob me, burglarize my house or attempt to harm a member of my family and find out what is necessary.

Disregarding the legal aspects, to kill an animal for sport and not eat it should be a bigger conscience issue than killing a person for what I presume the killer believes is just cause.

No. I am concerned about the sickos that think killing a person is the same as killing people. I guess some people don't put much value on a human life.

Oh sure, yeah. I know from experience. Actually, I did both at the same time - them pesky varmint humans clutterin' up them woods, just took out two hunters and a brace a' moose with a spray of buckshot. Then I hauled em all back to ma cabin and skinned 'em. Made real nice floor rugs to go with ma human skin lampshades - learned that on a day-release course at Camp Gacy. Oh yeah, ah like killin' almost as much as ah like expectoratin' into that there corner.
Actually, I don't, but I imagine that if you could bring yourself to kill an animal and watch it die, you'd have very little trouble doing to a human. Humans usually evoke far fewer sympathetic responses than animals do. I had to kill a squirrel once (ooh yeah, I know, how big and bad of me) and I certainly feel that in comparison with that episode, which left me in tears, killing a fair few people would be positively fun. It's all about watching the life-force drain out of their eyes and thinking "one less problem to deal with"...

for most people there is a tremendous difference between an animal and a person. i go hunting and have no problem killing the prey, but it is a somber moment when i hold the downed animal. it gave it's life so i may live. this is a moment to cherish and reflect. when killing people it's brutal, vicious, and life-or-death.

I think for many people, it does make it easier (going to war and have to kill). There are studies that show murderers began by killing their family pet and keep escalating until they murder a human. I'm sure some murderers start out by hunting, too. Sick, huh?
