Gino Guentensperger: Relieving suffering OK of game, but not from the air

Re “Hunting would be used to kill off Montana bighorn sheep herd” (Online, June 11): I am from Boy Scout Troop 121 in Salida and I needed to state my opinion on an article. It is the right thing to do to get rid of diseased sheep. I think that killing them would put them out of their misery. But I think it is a bit inhumane to kill them with aerial gunning.

Gino Guentensperger, age 15, Salida
