The Huntress


Taken by a nice niece at the Dead Falls.
I am now licensed to kill:
elk, bear, wolf, wolverine, wild boar, red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, fox, hare, beaver, badger, rabbit,
capercaille, black grouse, hazel grouse, pheasant, partridge, goose, pigeon...
but promise only to do so if I am hungry or threatened.

This is specisism, which is an even broader issue than racism. Y mention all these species that you may now shoot, but no mention of that most numerous species homo sapiens. What has it done wrong that you may not shoot it. As I said before - rank specisism. much love, Your peppery old Pa.

Dulce et decorum est pro orbis mori?
I always think that entering the state of death is the sensible way to end a life and much ado about death is inconsequential.
I suspect it is incumbent upon live things to stay that way until being alive becomes either impossible or unbearable.
Being dead is no trouble at all judging by the absence of complaints about it from those experienced in it.
I do like life in many of its forms and I have tried to enhance life quality on Earth whilst alive and hope to return some biologically useful material to Earth when I stop being alive. Enhancing life quality sometimes involves the death of some living things. Of course it has been suggested that we should not shoot humans, but this leaves it up to the hunter to determine just how human is the specimen in their sights? In my book it is positively life enhancing to provide an early death for inhumans. And I do not in any way intend this to sound inhuman.

Well done! If I asked you nicely would you shoot me should the need arise? You look like your daughter's mother.
