When the landscape is barren and there are few living creatures of any kind, people begin to lose their humanity. And that's when they start to do the unthinkable: eat other humans. Bad guys treat humans the way they'd treat animals. They hunt them down in "the wild." The man is still civilized; he still has his humanity.

I am not anti-hunting. The “Crow Down” is a “hunting contest” where both adults and children slaughter as many crows as they possibly can in two days. It also brings to mind the uncontested link between animal abuse and violent behavior toward fellow humans. So how do you classify these contests? This is baloney.

I will conclude with some remarks about the rights of animals.
