    Many animals hunt, so if hunting is evil then nature itself is evil. I tend
    to think nature is indifferent. You should agree, I think, given that you
    wrote to me in another thread that "nature has no design."

    I tend to think the sport of hunting is still popular among men today
    because the thrill of the hunt strikes a deep genetic chord. Giving credence
    to this theory is the fact that few women seem to enjoy hunting, which is
    entirely predictable given that hunting was not a primary occupation of
    prehistoric women. Women like to gather, as is obvious by the modern
    proclivity many women have for shopping at the local mall :)

    I've thought of taking up the sport of hunting, though if I were to do so it
    would be bow-hunting. Hunting with guns seems to me to be less natural and
    less sportsman-like.
