“Why...is the hunter who shoots a deer for venison subject to more criticism than the person who buys a ham at the supermarket? Overall, it is probably the intensively reared pig who has suffered more.” PersonsAnimalSubjectsCreaturesCriticismPigsHuntersDeerSupermarketsHamVenison Author:Peter Singer
“In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. the excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wild life, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.” PeopleImportantCountryFactsRealityAnimalEnemyCreaturesValuableGenuineIgnorantFactorsExcellentProtestCivilizedHuntingOddsHuntersWild AnimalSportsmanExterminationHunting And FishingWild CreaturesWild Life Book:The Deer Family Source: The Deer Family

“The contradictions in Renan , his feminine sensibility, coquetry, unavowed egotism, and sudden emotional outbursts, all indicate a soul deliberately using distraction as a means of evasion. The perpetual equivocation bears witness to God in the same way as the twisting and turning of a hunted animal indicates the presence of an unseen hunter.” WayMeanSoulAnimalEmotionalBearsWitnessContradictionFeminineDistractionPerpetualSensibilityUnseenHuntersEgotismHuntedEvasionOutburstCoquetryEmotional Outbursts Book:The Impostor Source: The Impostor

“Over my career I played some badass characters. So, people sometimes think I should have a .44 magnum. But that's not true, I don't have that. But I do fire them and I do enjoy target shooting and all that sort of thing. I'm not much of a hunter. I don't like killing animals, but I love to shoot.” PeopleThinkingShouldSometimesCharacterEnjoyAnimalCareersFireShould HaveKillingShootingTargetHuntersBadassKilling AnimalsTarget Shooting Author:Clint Eastwood
“I often used to think myself in the case of the fox-hunter, who, when he had toiled and sweated all day in the chase as if some unheard-of blessing was to crown his success, finds at last all he has got by his labor is a stinking nauseous animal. But my condition was yet worse than his; for he leaves the loathsome wretch to be torn by his hounds, whilst I was obliged to fondle mine, and meanly pretend him to be the object of my love.” IfsThinkingLastsUsedAnimalMarriageCasesConditionsObjectsMinesBlessingLaborHuntingCrownsFoxesTornHuntersObligedDisillusionmentUnheardHounds Author:Sarah Fielding
“I grew up around hunters. I love guns, bows, arrows, compasses and binoculars. I don't do any of that stuff, I just like the stuff. I shot one animal, in my life, and I didn't like it.

“Animals are so beautiful. Why does an American dentist need to go to Africa to kill them? Look, I get it. You're a hunter? Go kill a deer and eat it or a bear where there's a lot of them. But I just don't get it.” NeedsLooksDoeBeautifulAnimalBearsHuntersDeerDentist Author:Eric Bolling
“The idea that hunting is one against one is ludicrous. It's one animal versus the hunter, the manufacturer of the rifle, the bullet maker, the designer and manufacturer of the telescopic sight, the auto manufacturer who made the car the hunter got to the edge of the wild in, the maker of his waterproof shoes, the various manufacturers of his mittens, glasses, overcoat - and that's only the beginning of the list. The "sportsman" who shoots an animal should then make a speech, like the actor who wins an Oscar does, thanking the multitudes behind the scenes who made this "victory" possible.” ShouldDoeMadeIdeasActorsWinningAnimalBehindsCarVictorySceneSpeechSightShoesGlassesEdgesVariousListsDesignerMakersHuntingOscarsMultitudesBulletsHuntersVersusRiflesBehind The ScenesSportsmanOvercoatMittens Book:Cavett Source: Cavett
“A hunter that is worth his salt does not catch game because he sets his traps, or because he knows the hunting routines of his prey, but because he himself has no routines. This is his advantage. He is not at all like the animals he is after, fixed by heavy routines and predictable quirks; he is free, fluid, unpredictable” KnowsDoeGamesAnimalAdvantageHeavyFixedHuntingSaltTrapsUnpredictableHuntersPreyFluidPredictableQuirks Book:Journey to Ixtlan Source: Journey to Ixtlan
