Thread: Long range kill damage

You understand I am not trying to be an ogre over this. Hunting is under pressure for various reasons...You can imagine how these photo's and associated remarks can be used against us by the Zambian Animal Liberation Front and the Biafran Association of Vegans.

When I bring an animal home considering I have a wife and two daughters I like to present it in its best light. A pinhole looking entry wound. They tend then not to think of an animal suffering. Present a gruesome bullet wound to 50% of the population and they will think animal suffering even if the animals head it torn right off. Human nature really isnt it.

Mutilation...interesting word this.

People can often accept the death of an animal....But death and mutilation, not so, this conjures up bad thoughts in people. So for this very good reason. Projectile manufacturers, Gun manufacturer and various other people in the game shy away from displaying to the public gaze what their weapons are capable of doing to the bambi's of the forest. It would be a public relations nightmare for them.

I could I suppose find pictures and put them up on a sight showing the effect of different calibres and projectiles on the human body. Legally it is probably borderline but the point is some people would regard this as offensive, rightfully so from their point of view, but maybe not from a hardened soldiers point of view. I just think we should realise that a greater number of people than we think find the sight of mutilated animals offensive. We should remember this is a forum that is not exclusive and I can be entered and the material used buy the public.
