In reply to the discussion: Why is hunting given a pass? [View all]WestCoastLib

In my very OP, I point out that I'm not opposed to hunting.
The question is why should hunting be seen as less of a danger to the children that learn to do it than playing videogames is?
I'm not questioning if hunting should take place. I'm not questioning if hunting is necessary or not. I'm not questioning if hunting is "right or wrong".
Only questioning why it would be seen as less of a danger to children that do it than playing videogames. And I've yet to see a reasonable argument.
