FB: Don’t Like Dead-Animal Shots

Facebook Friend Kelsey Lightning wrote today: “Why must people take photos of the animals they kill? Why? I am not opposed to hunting as long as what’s killed gets used. But no one really wants to see a photo of a dead animal on Facebooks. Show someone a photo if they ask to see one. Which is kind of weird.” Whenever I see someone posed with the photo of an animal they’ve shot or fished from some waterway, I think of that “Planet of the Apes” scene in which a group of ape hunters is posing with 3 or 4 dead humans that they’ve hung upside down from a rack. I sorta agree with my Facebook friend on this one. I don’t get queasy seeing dead-animal shots. But I don’t enjoy them much either. (AP file photo/20th Century Fox: scene from “Planet of the Apes”)

Question: Do you take photos with the dead animals you hunt or fish? Why?
