Carine RoitfeldMaybe stalking the woods is as vital to the human condition as playing music or putting words to paper. Maybe hunting has as much of a claim on our civilized selves as anything else.

To abhor hunting is to hate the place from which you came, which is akin to hating yourself in some distant, abstract way.
