Hate Mail for Record-Setting Hunter

In case you missed it, a young man in Arkansas killed what is believed to be the largest hog ever hunted down and killed in America. The wild hog was about 10 feet in length and weighed in at an astounding 1051 pounds! (See picture here)

Figures, though: the young man has been receiving hate mail and email since. Here’s one example from his website (where, to his credit, he publishes both positive and negative responses):

Just a quick question, You attend a Christian college and yet kill so freely. Does not the Old Testament say ‘do unto others’ I have To ask the question, if said boar ran for 3 hours, Would it be ‘do unto others BEFORE ‘or ‘AS they would unto you?’ To experience the kill is exhilarating ( I know from hunting boars in Australia myself ) But, is it worth the moment to take a life as it is to spend an eternity in damnation for breaking one of the original commandments “thou shall not kill”. I have accepted my eternity, have you?

So, let’s review: Moses was actually telling the children of Israel not to kill animals, right? I’m just wondering how they made all those animal sacrifices without the animals dying.

It’s sad that people can be so ignorant, especially when it comes to basic matters of the Bible. I’m not a hunter; it just doesn’t appeal to me. But, so long as someone follows the laws set forth to protect animals from over-hunting, it’s actually a good thing. We need to keep telling people that humans are not animals! Humans were given dominion over the earth and her creatures.

This young man legally hunted this hog. The person who left the comment above is probably just jealous. Let the young man have his moment.
