Nick what an unbelievable story!! If only we could convert more hunters, and get them believing that it is murder and not a love for animals, unless like this man said they are eating them!! In today's world if you must eat meat, there are proper ways of buying meat, with proper ways of humanely putting down an animal, if that can be done--I don't know I don't eat meat!! But I don't believe that shooting them and wounding them and then following them around a forest til they die, is very humane, and I do not see the sport in it!! It is murder and should be outlawed!! Thanks for sharing this story with us, it means that there is hope for everyone out there!!
Hugs,
Suzanne

HI NICK, THANKS FOR SHARING THAT EMOTIVE STORY.
I WISH THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE CARING ABOUT ANIMALS WELFARE , ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE. PEOPLE WHO REALLY CARE AND LOVE ANIMALS DON'T KILL THEM.

Thank u for the story & hunting for just the purpose of doing so does need to end & quit calling it a sport OR trophy hunting.They make better trophies alive & the only thing that they should be shooting is a camera taking photos!

WHAT KIND OF PIMPING AND MARKETING IS THAT? HE SOLD THE DOG AND THEN HAD HIM KILL IT WITH GAS, SO HE WOULD PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE? DID I READ THIS CORRECTLY? WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF A FOLLOWUP ON THIS STOREY? DOES ANYBODY HAVE PICTURES, NAMES ET AL?

Well, what can I say, "It's a story". Nick, I don't like taking a harsh line, but,
"Why did it take the Moron so long to figure it out" ? Confession, and kill, again
his dog ? I think, he wants retrobution for his life as a killer ! Well, inspite of my
opinion thanks for submitting the story.

This is a very hopefilled story. If such a die-hard killer can be converted by his wife then there is hope for us all.

It is exremely heartening to read something like this. I am so glad the women in his life got
through to him. Hunters are merely murderers, who think they are doing a service when in fact
they are killing, maiming, and wiping out different types of animals and species. Neither nature
or anyone else needs hunters. Find your manhood in a ethical, fair way!!1
