Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska On a Proenneke Binge

I don't think Proenneke determined the animals to be friends, or anthropomorphic in any way. He internalized the beauty and balance of nature and did not like to see that altered or disturbed by man. And he probably didn't think hunting for any purpose had any merit in the scheme of things.

I don't know if he thought animals suffer, either as a part of nature or as a result of hunting. I, personally, do not believe the animal entity can conceptualize suffering. They're animals.
