You know - oddly enough i know Mass well - i lived in Boston for many years. Got my undergraduate and graduate degrees there. You remind me a lot of my time there.
You have come on a thread - insult and degrade people, their traditions and hobbies - and generally be smug little person. You want to compare folks to one person at a supposed convenience store. It isn't fair, and it is certainly disrespectful.
For the record - Just some of the benefits of hunting include:
Population control - there are very little predators in my area - and most. Overpopulation is a real problem, with disease and starvation the the ultimate result.
Conservation - hunting fees and licenses have largely funded wildlife conservation efforts in North America.
Time in the woods, friendship, tradition, camaraderie, a tradition of stewardship.
Add to that adding "free range" , no hormone, low in cholesterol food to one's diet.
In GA alone - over 300,000lbs in venison taken legally through population control has been donated to the poor and hungry through GA Hunters for the Hungry charity.
