OrilliaMatters welcomes letters to the editor at [email protected] or via the website. Please include your full name, daytime phone number and address (for verification of authorship, not publication). The following letter is in response to an article about illegal hunting, published Aug. 9.
Legitimate hunters are among the most regulated and law-abiding members of society, but even here we find exceptions such as the person who broke several laws with the unsafe and illegal act of shooting at the Ministry of Natural Resources decoy designed to nab those who indulge in such dangerous and despicable acts.
I hope the family and friends of those he hunts with make him see how such stupidity is not hunting and brings shame and dishonour to all real hunters who would never commit such a senseless act.
I hope he reflects on the gravity of what he has done and regrets his actions.
