No. We have been hunting for millions of years (dating back to the austrapholicine [sp?])... Animals are just part of our food system. Like it or not, we eat meat. We aren't vegetarians, and never were meant to be. We are omnivores. We moreso have cattle ranches to rely on for meat, then hunting. My dad however does hunting, and that should be his right. The idealism demonstrated by some here is amusing at best.
