Bless his heart. I hope we will all extend prayers for this family. I think it's horrible for any family to lose a child, but at least this family knows their baby died very happy and content with his memories.
I passed an accident this afternoon on North Market. It had just happened and it looked to me like a pedestrian had been hit by a car. I found out this evening that it was a 9 y/o child hit and the child has passed away. Please keep this family in your prayers as well.

Maybe the idea of bear hunting was the only thing that was keeping him going. Those bastards took his dream away from him by making it a reality.

So am I the only person who finds it a little disgusting that the last dying wish of this boy was to murder something else?

I think it is more of a adrenalin rush. I am sure it made the boy happy to reach a goal he had set for himself. It sounds like he did die happy and that is a very good thing.

So is shooting cans, bottles, and targets, except they don't suffer pain and/or death as a result of being shot. Now it would be a different story if the kid was going to eat the meat or make a coat out of the fur, or the animal was impressive enough to warrant having it stuffed and mounted....but I seriously doubt that was ever the intention and the more likely scenario is that the entire carcass was discarded and I simply cannot condone the needless destruction of life for no greater purpose than entertainment. |

I don't particularly care for the killing of innocent animals either BUT I would make an acception for MY dying baby. I'd kill the bear myself if my child could die happy!

You see, that's why I don't have a problem with hunting for resources....that's what we would be doing "in the wild" anyway. |

They do not hunt trophy's just to let it rot in the woods I am sure the parents of that child had that animal processed and taxidermy-ed and will cherish it for a very long time. The population is monitored and tags are issued for a certain about of bears. The tags are for adult male bears and the hunter only gets a tag in draw the state does each year so not every one gets a tag. Game management

I don't think some people (those without children) understand how precious a child is. I have seen families with these sick children with cancer and there is not a doubt in my mind that they would do WHATEVER that child wants so it is happy. The rest of us would as well too.
