Why is it ok to teach your children how to kill? I see it often, a story in the local paper trying to encourage youngsters to hunt or fish. They portray this activity as if the other choices may be playing basketball or learning to play an instrument.
Recently I was browsing on Facebook and saw a posting that literally shocked me. The post included several photos of dead animals alongside a smiling father and son clearly proud of their accomplishment. The father wrote: âSuch a proud daddy, my son wanted to know how to catch a beaver, he helped me set the traps and check them every day. We caught a beaver and an amazing otter. Such a gift to have these great animals.â
