Some of my fiance's sister's boyfriend's kids are into hunting, and guns and stuff. At her dad's small farm, they were out in the woods and shot a fucking beautiful Bluebird with a high powered pellet gun. It didn't kill it, but it was on the ground twitching and obviously in shock. Some of their cousins who are not into that kind of stuff were with them and thought it was actually kind of funny, like it wasn't a big deal at all.
The cousin's parents were shocked to hear about it when I told them; the dad of the boys who shot it didn't really think it was a big deal because he's into hunting and all that. I was very conflicted. I don't hunt, but I have no problems with hunting if you're going to use all of the animal for food. It just pissed me off that this bird was nothing more than a target to them, when a glass bottle or paper target would have been just as sufficient. I hate the thought of little murderers being raised to get a thrill from wounding and killing an animal ON PURPOSE that was just enjoying its day and living it's life in a tree and then BAM!!! some 11 year old shoots it so he can smile and be proud of accomplishing something awful.
