Hunting is not a proper employment for a thinking man. - Joseph Addison Hunting is a relic of the barbarous spirit that thirsted formerly for human blood, but is now content with the blood of birds and animals. - Christian Nestell Bovee Poor Jack,--no matter who,--for when I blame I pity, and must therefore sink the name,-- Liv'd in his saddle, lov'd the chase, the course, And always ere he mounted, kiss'd his horse. - William Cowper A man who can, in cold blood, hunt and torture a poor, innocent animal, cannot feel much compassion for the distress of his own species. - Frederick, the Great (Frederick II) The healthy huntsman, with a cheerful horn, Summons the dogs and greets the dappled Morn. The jocund thunder wakes the enliven'd hounds, They rouse from sleep, and answer sounds for sounds. - John Gay Biography, like big game hunting, is one of the recognized forms of sport, and it is [as] unfair as only sport can be. - Philip Guedalla It is very strange and very melancholy that the paucity of human pleasures should persuade us to call hunting one of them. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) ("The Great Cham of Literature")
