Raising to kill


Two species of birds, the Pheasant and the Chukar Partridge, are beautiful.

They are the residents of regulated hunting grounds scattered throughout the United States.

They are offered a peculiar kind of residency in that while they are raised with care in these "grounds," no sooner than they are released from their playpens, they are hunted down, i.e. become targets for the pleasure-seeking hunters armed with semiautomatics.

I feel its unethical to shoot down sentient beings when they pose no threat or harm to us, but it's beyond unethical when they are raised simply to be killed for sport with weapons that don't give them a chance for survival.
