Stop placating hunters

President Donald Trump and many of the Democrats who want to supplant him in 2020 go to outrageous lengths to placate inhumane hunters as a means to obtain votes. Hunting is irrefutably cruel and in almost every instance gratuitous and unnecessary. There is no moral reason to give positive reinforcement to a group of people who use deadly firearms and arrows to severely injure, traumatize and kill innocent and helpless wildlife species for pleasure. Society rightfully punishes criminals who stage dogfights and cockfights. It should not wrongfully praise those who are just as barbaric to creatures of the wild. Hunting is an appalling abomination that should be banned.
