The short answer is yes, on many levels it is ignorant and emotional. You dont have to like hunting or want any part of it, but being categorically against legal, regulated hunting is an emotional position, not a rational one. And if you really want to put your money where your mouth is, stopping eating, wearing, or using anything that is made with or from and animal products.
Also to all you morally upright citizens who are making light of the gruesome death of a father and lawful hunter? Despicable. That would be no different than me celebrating the death of a vegetarian who died of plant poisoning, anaphylaxis, or was killed by a fallen tree. "Serves them right!!!"
That may be your categorization but don't expect to pass it off as a universal truth. The bolded is a simplistic statement used to divert from the topic at hand or by those unable to differentiate between animals raised as a crop that would not otherwise exist and those free in nature that would remain free except for those who have a desire to hang their heads on the wall.

I don't even like that animals who would not otherwise exist are raised as a crop, but that's another topic. The fact that the now-dead bigshot hunter man is grinning like a clown in photo after photo with the creatures he killed for fun and profit tells me all I need to know about his character. Stop with the boo-hooing over him being a father. What kind of people were his children learning to be with that sort of disrespect for life? Perhaps this will alter their course and make them into better adults than was the man who sired them.
And no, not everyone thinks that people are more important than animals. How arrogant.

My children ate moose or deer most years. Most, not all, as it is called hunting, not shooting. My son now helps provide for the winter. Do you have a problem with that?
Why? What is so special about a human being that places them ahead of an animal? The answer might be obvious but I'd still like to hear it.
As for the thread topic, as callous as this might sound, I didn't know the hunter existed until this thread appeared so I'd be lying if I said that I cared that he was taken by one of the very animals that HE planned to take. As for his family, I don't know them either.

Nope. That has not changed since we had this conversation a day or two ago. I would prefer that no one ate animals, but I ate them most of my life so I can't tell anyone else what to do.
As I already made clear the first time, hunting for one's meat is a more honest way to obtain food than factory farming.
Sick individuals who would joke about a human's death.
Not a particularly nice human from what I can work out.
