Hunting is often called a “sport,” to camouflage a cruel, and needless killing spree. The annual death toll in the U.S. includes 42 million mourning doves, 30 million squirrels, 28 million quail, 25 million rabbits, 6 million deer, and thousands of helpless animals (“Anti-Hunting”).

They are absolutely terrified, they shake in fear whenever someone walks past their cages, and their blood pressure spikes drastically (PETA).
