    Wonder where she got the 1000 hunting accidents a year from?

    This is the same author who seems to scorn wearing a bike helmet:

    Hunting accidents probably comes from ACC data, probably sprained ankles etc rather than gunshot wounds.

    I would hope so! Just had a wee look on the ACC data.govt site and I can't easily find any data for tramping or hunting related injuries. There was 9318 dancing related injuries in the 2018/2019 financial year, that's scarcely relevant though.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    99.9% of hunting is walking/camping/foraging for firewood etc.
    therefore what she is rambling on about is hiking not hunting.

    You should invite them to the Easter Bunny hunt! Plenty to hug there and there easy to catch too
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    IIRC the data I saw recently was about 392 ACC claims, don't know what year though. Tramping, mountain biking and surfing were about 2300-2400 each.

    An article like this seems to appear around the start of the season every year.

    She states "Unless there is a genuine and substantiated need for food, this argument is unconvincing. Most of us have ready access to food in the supermarket and don't depend on cruel, wasteful and indiscriminate wild harvest." and one has to wonder if she has seen how farmed supermarkert poutry is treated....At least in the wild every day is a good day except the last for the animal.
