Bob Newhart taught me how to hunt.

10. Nobody has a right to criticize hunters unless they are vegetarians

I definitely agree about Newhart. Between him and Jonathan Winters, that is comedy genius. (I once was on a flight with Winters and what I presumed to be his wife. I sat in the row behind them. I didn't have the courage or poor judgment to say anything to him. It was a red-eye after all.)

Regarding hunters, if I had to kill for sustenance, I wouldn't last long. But it is definitely more ethical for a hunter to kill his own food than for me to pay other people to kill animals for me. It is hard to say which act is more humane to the animals. Given what we know about the slaughter operations, I am guessing that animals meet a more humane death at the hands of the skilled hunter, and they definitely have a more humane life.
