Today is cleaning day here. That means that my cleaning woman Julia comes and puts everything upside down. And this made me think about my Blogger Friend "That Cleaning Lady". Not because of cleaning but because she wrote a very nice post about hunting !
I hate hunters and can't understand why they have to kill animals when they can buy their meat in a butchery or Supermarket. On top of it they call it "Sport" as if killing is a sport. I can't add more to that subject as "My cleaning Lady" wrote everything which I would have written too here.
The first and certainly the last time in my life I attended to a haunting "party" was when I were 20 years old and invited by my, at that time, boyfriend. Young and innocent I didn't know at all what that meant.
It took place in the woods around the family castle and there were about ten hunters. Only men. A few women were there too, but more for showing their last expensive hunting costume. He had bought me one too, because I were his decoration. But I didn't feel well at all in that thing. For the hunting, rapids and pheasans were "placed at disposal". For this event, young men had been hired who went through the woods shouting and beating bushes with a baton, so that the poor rapids would come out and the pheasants too. When the first rapid showed up and 10 men started shooting, the poor thing of course had no chance. There I started to think what heros they were, 10 against one poor rapid.

Ouch. I would have done the same. At least. I'm glad that I have no similar experience, even though I did grow up just beside a little castle. It was not private though, so it was very nice seightseeings around an in it instead. And piano conserts.
I don't hunt. I would rather watch nature than kill it..
Now you don't need to ask me why I seldom eat red meat! I even feel sorry for those tiny quails from the store my son and husband love to grill ... I just can't!
Well, gosh I feel special, thanks so much for linking to my blog!! I hope we get a lot of comments about hunting, and maybe some of those women will make their husbands put the guns back in the closet!
Last weekend we went out where they hunt birds and deer and we talked loud and crashed around as much as possible. I wish we could have pulled those decoy's out of the lake, but they are put there with a boat, and we don't have one.
I'll never do any hunting besides in antique shops and yarn stores!
