Hunting

School Shootings and Hobby Hunters?

Violence always leads to counter-violence according to the law of cause and effect.

Editorial Wild beim Wild — 31 January 2023

Violence Works in Both Directions

Like love, violence always works in both directions. At the point where violence is unleashed, damage is caused just as much as at the point at which it is directed. Scientists have discovered this in studies of soldiers and serial killers.

Animal abuse should not be regarded as a minor character flaw in a hobby hunter, but rather stands as a symptom of a profound mental disorder. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of violence against animals do not stop there.

Gun fanatics indoctrinate children

The hobby hunting scene is a distinctly diffuse parallel world dominated by cult-like ideologies. Children who love animals are enticed with weapons, ammunition and killing. Through children's innocent love of animals, attempts are made to condition them into killing.

The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child advocates, in accordance with Art. 19, that minors be protected from the damaging effects of violence. Hobby hunters are neither trained educators nor role models when it comes to animal welfare.

Hunting culture is linked to school shootings. There are studies showing that 90% of violent criminals began as animal abusers or hobby hunters.
