I have to say though, we aren't consistent with our anger here. People take pictures of fish after they are caught (granted, it's for measurement). We brag about pesticide use and kill off entire populations of bugs.

It's just creatures that are more mammal-like that we "empathize" with. i.e. more similar to us than not...

I actually think these pictures are vulgar and are undignifying of the animal they have killed. I don't like the fish ones either. I'm OK with hunting when it's done for culling purposes, and sometimes it's necessary to prevent other animal populations/mating areas to become endangered as well. However, I could never do it myself. Murder another creature in this way.

I feel bad even about killing bugs. I usually try to catch & release. Unless they're roaches. Roaches are awful around here. And need culling.

I have a paper wasp nest on the side of my house with a larger pop than last year my hubby wants to destroy, but I tell him to leave them because they're not harming us where they are at and help with pollination.
