Pride over shot sounds sickening

I’ve just read in the paper how proud a hunter was that he had gotten two deer with one shot, a doe and one of her fawns.

I understand that hunting is a necessity to keep the population of deer from getting too excessive, but when you see a doe with her babies, don’t you think you ought to leave her alone? The fawns may need her to survive the winter, and he may have just blown the surviving fawn’s chance at living to another hunting season.

How strange it is to be proud of some terrible things in life. Causing the death of something may be a way of life for some, but it sickens others who listen to people brag about their kills.
