Funny:Child targeted with death threats after killing rare deer.

Lol..I now what you are thinking now, don't tell!!

A little boy who killed an albino deer is now the target of death threats according to this Thursday news report by The Huffington Post, all over online outrage over the killing. Gavin Dingman, 11, was on a hunting trip with his father when he reportedly took the 12-point-buck down with his crossbow -- which is an amazing feat for a child his age. Also amazing is the fact that albino deer only seem to occur ever so often -- estimated at once in every 20,000 to 100,000 deer births. As news reports have pointed out, what was intended to be a proud moment for the boy and his family (and anyone else who is in the hunting culture) has now become fodder for angry people who have reportedly gone way too far in expressing their anger.
All people are, of course, entitled to their opinions, but when opinions turn into harassment that crosses a very important line. That's especially when that harassment comes in the form of death threats, and the target is an 11-year-old child. What doesn't make sense about the entire idea of threatening to kill this child is the fact that it's done out of anger for him killing an animal. Why would a person who is against killing living things then turn around and condone-via-threat the murder of a human child? This is indeed a truly deplorable display of poor human behavior.
You don't have to agree with what Gavin Dingman did to respect that the lad is growing up in a culture that involves hunting and country living in general. Perhaps when he is older he may also respect that nature is just as wondrous when observed in a nonviolent manner -- but teaching him that lesson isn't going to be easy when people are threatening to kill him. What should be questioned about this situation is whether or not the media actually fanned the flames of division that started these death threats in the first place?
