Results from Classic Quotes:

When I was twelve, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature who was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning.

- More quotations on: [Hunting]

Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
- More quotations on: [Hunting]

Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826), Letter, 1810
One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job.

John Russell, Speech, Greenock, England
It is very strange, and very melancholy, that the paucity of human pleasures should persuade us ever to call hunting one of them.

How, given the canine teeth and close-set eyes that declare the human animal to be a predator, had we come up with the notion that oat bran is more natural to eat than chicken?
