Hunting
THOUGHTS ON HUNTING
quotesland.com
"I delight not in your blood sacrifice."
-Isaiah
"In nature predators kill the sick and the weak, thus leaving the strong to breed. Human hunters kill the best and the strongest, and often just for trophies, leaving the weak to breed."
-O Anna Niemus
"Out in the home woods, someone's bound to be killing some being."
-John Mortimer
"The hunter had fallen into a trap he'd set for the deer.
Nevada Barr
"Because the stomach parts of ruminants, known
as tripe..
are decomposing they are always overripe."
-O Anna Niemus
"If I were on a desert island and had only a book on grizzly
bear hunting, I would eat it before I would read it."
-Aaron Sorkin
"The woods snapped with the violence of the hunting party's passing."
- Nevada Barr
"Though I am an old horse, and have seen and heard a great deal, I never yet could make out why men are so fond of this sport; they often hurt themselves, often spoil good horses, and tear up the fields, and all for a hare, or a fox, or a stag, that they could get more easily some other way; but we are only horses, and don't know."
-Anna Sewell
"George Washington was an avid member of the foxhunting
group, described by Oscar Wilde as the unspeakable in full
pursuit of the inedible. While the United Kingdom has
banned the 'blood sport', it is still continued in
Virginia."
-O Anna Niemus
"Schadler says 13 million Americans hunt. It's boggling to hear some of them express love and respect here for that which they destroy. Surely the greater gift is life, not death.
How to explain, also, the paradox of Bob Vitro, a hunter and taxidermist who
kills animals that he wants to memorialize by stuffing them. Think of it,
ending an animal's life with the intent of making it appear life-like as a wall
decoration. We're creating a real piece of art is what we're doing, he says."
- Howard Rosenberg
"It is very strange, and very melancholy, that the paucity of human pleasures should persuade us ever to call hunting one of them."
-Samuel Johnson
"One knows so well the popular idea of health. The English country gentleman galloping after a fox -- the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable."
-Oscar Wilde
"Hunters set traps, mimic sounds of mates in distress,
sit hidden in blinds, stalk animals in the woods,
often working in darkness as do other criminals."
-O Anna Niemus
"He who permits the slaughter of an animal
He who kills him
He who cuts him up
He who buys or sells meat
He who cooks him
He who serves him up
He who eats him
All Must be considered as the slayers of the animal
- Laws of Manu-."
"Bowhunting is a savage practice that often results in injured deer
running off to die slowly in pain after many hours or days."
-Larry Miller
"They take unbelievable pleasure in the hideous blast of the hunting horn and baying of the hounds. Dogs dung smells sweet as cinnamon to them."
-Erasmus
"When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity."
George Bernard Shaw
"Hunter colors are scarlet..crimson..
from the shedding of innocents' blood
Green is the color of
God's trees greening.
There is no hunter green.
There is only .... hunter gangrene..."
O Anna Niemus
"sour bitter fruit in time becomes sweet and soft,
so all serially killing hunters in time will become nonviolent."
-O Anna Niemus
