As for using the term “inhumane”, I completely disagree with this terminology. To be humane, is to be gentle. inhumane = not gentle…. Sorry, but there is nothing gentle about it. The life of a renewable resource is being taken so the raw product can be utilized. Now, if someone is torturing an animal for the intent of seeing it suffer a long and miserable death or to leave it lame – That’s wrong. Personally I believe in the quickest dispatch or kill method for my own terminating of animals. But if someone else has a method that doesn’t torture an animal, so be it.
To me humane = limiting suffering, in-humane = total disregard for suffering.
Tomato / tomato.
Most of the hunters and trappers I have been exposed to are very conscience of limiting the suffering of the animals just like you.
I suspect that most peta members would not dispatch of an wounded animal that was suffering. If you run into a PETA member, ask them that scenario. Then ask them about the thousands of adoptable dogs they euthanize.
Sorry, didn’t mean to stray.
I’ve watched Yukon Men a lot. I don’t think I have seen them taking joy in dispatching an animal. Most are very grateful and if they have Inuit in them, they will spiritually be thankful for the animal giving its life.
