Putting food on the table so your family doesn't starve is more important than letting a soulless animal live in peace.

Besides, they could be raising it so they can "hunt" it later :p

Humans are just as soulless, why not kill people?

Not that I'm against hunting deer, in fact I think there needs to be more dead deer to help the environment. I just think saying its ok to hunt because animals are soulless is quite dumb. Then again people are far worse for the environment, maybe we DO need to start hunting humans.

Lets start hunting both.

Oh, and FWIW, in this county, you can't hunt deer with rifles, you can only use bows and shotguns. Thereby, we have insane problems with deer overpopulation; more of them get killed by cars than by hunters.

Happens all the time.

Well I'm surprised with a Rhodesian Ridge Back, they are very territorial by nature. I used to have one which was extremely so. Considering they were bred as lion killers, I?d hate to see what they?d do with a little fawn should things take a turn??.

A Rhodesian Ridgeback has never, EVER killed a lion. They're used as a tool for hunters. They chase the lion down and harass him until the hunter arrives to shoot the lion. Lions, on the other hand, have killed PLENTY of Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

Basically they nip and the lion and jump back when it lunges at them, distracting the lion for a time.

Got a story to go along with it?

Refresh.

I must have the pic mixed up with another.
In the pic I saw, the baby was on the steps and cherry blossoms were fallen all around. The mother had left the baby (as they always do) while she went to feed. She came back later and gathered the litlle ah heck up.
Teh funnay...
Me and my old man were fishing one day and the old man stepped over a log. On the other side of the log was a baby deer hunkered down like that one. It jumped up, the old man threw all his stuff in the air, hit the dirt and actually screamed.
It was a laugh riot. :)

When I was younger, wihle up in Maine (maybe nova scotia) cant remember...we were walking through a garden/park place, and this big ass rabbit flew out and across the walkway into somemore bushes. I screamed a tiny bit...not cause it was a rabbit..but the shock of something jumping so fast out of the bushes.
