Rosenberg on killing of kudu

HOWARD Rosenberg’s biting wit is right on target when he insightfully describes the way in which a beautiful, defenseless kudu is killed in cold blood by what can only be described as a delusional “sportsman” operating under the assumption that he is somehow doing something masterful in his testosterone-drenched world (“Gatherers of beautiful, deceased animals,” Nov. 22).

Unfortunately, this bizarre, destructive behavior is repeated tens of thousands of times each year. The clarity of Rosenberg’s eye really lets us see how devoid of sensibility these vacuous people really are.

IN less than a week, 18 people have been violently killed on the streets of Los Angeles. Why is it then that everyone only seems to get upset when Bambi is hunted and (legally) killed or a tree needs to be cut down in order to widen a road?

Howard Rosenberg should stick to the self-serving, crotchety, Hollywood puff pieces that he had become known for. Next time, why not try using your remote to turn the channel?
