What's an animal lover?
Is a marine conservationist involved with dolphin rescue who can't stand dogs or cats an animal lover?
Is a vet at a kill-shelter an animal lover?
Is a pheasant shooter who keeps a pet dog extremely well an animal lover?
It's a very wide, open to interpretation question
opcorn:
Hunters may have animals at home - fish, pet dogs and so on, that they care for... so, they may love some animals, and enjoy killing others for sport... could it be that because they kill some animals they cannot care well for others? You cannot make such a generalisation. They may love SOME animals...
However here in Spain hunters who use dogs (like Zelda, in my signature) do tend to treat them terribly
so as well as the hunting debate they also abuse their "tools". Certainly not animal lovers by any stretch of the imagination.
