Sick lunatic? Hunting is a very old thing. Its been happening for thousands of years. Its up to the adults to make sure the child is trained enough to not do something stupid with the weapon. This isnt always the case, and the blame lies on the parents when it happens.

Hunting is very old. That has nothing to do with giving a fire arm to a 14 y/o child (who can't even tell the local wild life apart)

Proudly kill an animal? I was very proud when I put nearly 200 pounds of food on my familys table at 14.

If I was in a tribe of native people and gathered 200 pounds of food with traditional means that my family needed, I'd be proud too. Shooting an animal with a fire arm? not so much. Anyway, why give fire arms to children? If the animal was eaten I wouldn't feel bad though.

Hunting isnt murder unless its for pure sport. When the flesh is utilized the its for hunting and supporting people. Hunting needs to happen. Animals would go wildly out of control if their numbers werent held in check.

The animals would go out of control excuse is simply not true (it's rarely or never true). Anyway if it's legal and you live in the wilderness/very rural and the meat is used I don't have a problem with it, as long as the killer isn't a 14 y/o girl. Glad to see you're anti hunting/killing for pure sport, which is as sick as giving guns to children imho.
