Letter writer: Get hunting out of my newspaper!
September 1st, 2006 by admin
Today’s Sun-Sentinel published a great letter by Judith Fish of Coconut Creek:
“I cringed when I read your articles on Aug. 25, ‘hailing’ the beginning of hunting season in South Florida. I cannot for a moment imagine intruding on an animal’s own habitat, and shooting and killing it for fun.
It never ceases to amaze me that the murder of animals can be considered a ’sport.’ A sport involves two relatively equal sides. Are the animals told the rules? Are they provided with guns or bows and arrows? Please tell me where the sport is in this picture.
. . . .
If the South Florida Sun-Sentinel insists on writing so enthusiastically about this horrific activity, please include it where it belongs — next to the stories about violent crimes — not on the sports pages.”
