Reader: Enough with the dead animal photos

| | Comments (1)

Jane Heller of York writes: Good God, can't you find some way NOT to saturate you newspaper with photos of happy killers holding their prey? Otherwise known as hunters with their "harvest." There are many of us who read this paper and are disgusted by the sight of people cradling the head of a dead animal in their arms -- especially those of kids who have been encouraged to slaughter innocent animals at the encouragement of their parents. Absolutely disgusting. And why in the name of God do you call it "harvest"? What a joke -- call it the slaughter that it is. And, in many cases, a painful one. Looking at the deification of the almighty hunter is really sickening to many of us who DO NOT and NEVER WOULD HUNT. Does the paper nourish such a "yeeha" mentality that we must be almost daily faced with opening pages and seeing slaughtered animals? I can go to a slaughterhouse if i really have that need.

Jane,

Turn the page and read something else. For those that also read the paper we like to hear about others that have the great fortune to "harvest" nature's gift non-steroid meat regardless if it turned out to be such a rare animal, a freak of nature that was destined for someones diner table this year or the next.
