SHOOTING WILDLIFE

We can enjoy nature, hobbies and sports,
Animals, friendships and environmental reports!

And even "shoot", if it is your forte!
For perhaps this improves your regular day!

I won't condemn others, this must not be,
But, shooting to kill, is not for someone, like me!

I will "shoot", in my own way, as I carefully go,
Through the woods, meadow and places I know!

Wildlife inhabits....lives...enjoys...reproduces!
To destroy their lives....would seem like abuses!

We can live together on my land...peacefully co-exist!
I'll only shoot with my camera...it's got to be like this!

When I see buck, doe or fawn, with eyes so innocent,
I can't kill with a gun....it is not my intent!

I have no personal needs....no game must I find,
So, no need to have, a hunting frame of mind!

Pictures of wildlife, I will keep and seek!
Whereas game, for meat, will last just a week!

A small bullet kills and life is gone!!
A camera shoots and life goes on and on!!

Many people enjoy hunting and many do not. I am one of the "do nots", but
we all must choose, according to our own beliefs. My son often said, that
if everyone were like me, the world would be overpopulated with animals and
they would become a problem. Perhaps he is right.
