Why do you want to shoot them poor innocent doves?
What did they feathered creatures ever do to you?
Do you eat them?
The only time I will kill a creature is for food.
I see folks who go deer hunting or whatever and just so they can cut their heads off and mount them on a wall and waste the rest of the body which can be used for food, I get upset.
In some states like Alaska, you will go to jail for killing a deer or a bison or any animal and not have the meat and other body parts harvested and collected immediately before it starts to rot by a professional company for food for yourself or donated to a company that feeds the homeless or to a school kitchen.
Same for folks who go fishing and they just want to get a taxidermist so they can mount that fish on their wall instead of eating it.
If you are not going to eat it, let that fish live another day and put it back into the water it came out of, gently - throwing a fish back into the water off a boat the way most fisherman do instead grabbing it gently and immersing your hand into the water and then opening your hand and let the fish swim away will hurt and kill a fish which defeats the purpose of putting it back.
Like those people who pay a lot of $ to go to Africa so they can hunt endangered species like Rhinos and Lions and then have their photos taken with the poor animal's body, those people are not human being.
Sure the beef and pork and chicken and seafood we buy at the supermarket came from living live animals but at least they are not being slaughtered and wasted. Originally Posted by CG2014
