"No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature, which holds its life by the same tenure that he does. The hare in its extremity cries like a child." - Henry David Thoreau
When I was a kid, me and my brothers would go woods walking with guns, and anything that moved got shot. But that is a childish thing. When I became a man, I put away the childish things. If I'm not going to eat it, I wont kill it. Wasteful, rude, childish.
I used to like Thoreau. But now, it sounds like he means full grown men, past the age of boyhood. Some perhaps, who did so many drugs that they never grew up. But not all men and he was dead wrong for wording it like he did...
