Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport.”

Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching,

and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.

The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop

proper judgments through independent thought are led along way away by their gunning

parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting

as good for their health and guncarrying as a way of putting redder blood in the

veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase

and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach

them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺

激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because

of the loss of wildland habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our

increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There

doesn't seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.

Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people

do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or

nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting

to the great majority of people.

Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do D. A Dutiful Husband.
