FOXSYLVANIA

–Eleven American states ban hunting on Sunday, or restrict it to certain game and locations.  In Pennsylvania, for example, only coyote, foxes, and crows can be hunted on Sundays.

—Uhh…wait a minute!  Six days a week are not enough to be allowed to kill my kind?  You gotta kill foxes on Sunday, too?  Maybe they can sandwich it in after church!   I guess that they consider us nuisances or pests… I won’t repeat what I consider hunters.

But at least Pennsylvania has experienced a 28% decline in hunting license sales over the 25 years between 1981 and 2006.  This decline is attributed to loss of habitat, expense, and increasing anti-hunting attitudes.

It’s hard to sell hunting as a food-acquisition necessity when in reality it has long since become a “recreational” activity.

Better still, why not vent those aggressive, primordial impulses through a rousing video game where only images are killed rather than living creatures?  All we are saying, is give fur a chance!
