IAN: Why is it necessary to make a personal
(ad hominem) accusation? I am neither aware
of nor was I referring to the study you do,
and thus your claim that I am is a lie.
What I say is based on something I saw
on the program "The Justice Files."
If the study you refer to pertains to modern
times, I'd note that most raised as hunters
live in rural areas with lower crime rates,
so your implication that killing some animals
engenders compassion for others could be false.
