Folks have a strange definition of hypocrisy.


For one, hypocrisy doesn't mean "I want to do it but I don't want something (or someone) else to do it." As if, I live in my house but that doesn't make me a hypocrite if I don't want mice here too.

Hypocrisy has to do with integrity. No one is saying that the wolves shouldn't be wolves or the prey animals shouldn't be killed or pretending they want the wolves gone for some reason besides that they prey on animals that the hunters themselves would like to kill. (Except the ranchers, who have their own reasons)

There is no insincerity or false virtue or deceit.

Wolves kill what we want to kill ourselves. I see no one pretending any different. It would be hypocritical if I said it was immoral to kill deer and then I killed deer.
