Apparently you missed the part where I said I think the current boy's
"wish" to meet Ina is his mother's wish, not his AND I didn't blame
Ina for turning it down. I also think that children as young as 4
would never dream of killing animals unless their parents did it
already. I think that the make a wish grant to kill animals was
probably instigated by that boy's parents. Otherwise they would have
taken him out hunting and skipped MAW.

I understand when a person who eats no meat or animal byproducts and
doesn't use anything that is made from animals, complains about
animals being used for those things.

I don't understand why anyone who eats meat or uses animals byproducts
would complain about anyone hunting. As long as the meat is used and
the animal wasn't tortured to death, why would it concern someone?

I'm not attempting to knock someone else for their beliefs, just to
understand them.

What is the difference between some giant corporation killing Millions
of head of cattle and Billions of chickens each year and someone
killing the animal while hunting and then using the meat?

This "Make-a-wish" group gives some kid who has only a short time left
to live, his wish to go hunt, kill and eat an animal...So what? Who
are we to judge this group or the child if we consume meat also?

Your and the blogger's condemnation are idiotic. No celebrity has the
responsibility to accept every charity request made. Each is entitled
to put efforts where ever they choose or even nowhere at all.

The bitch is the one who wrote the article, which is truly
Twitter-worthy only, followed by its cheerleaders.

Without question I disagree.

Certainly EVERY request is unreasonable but I think a few minutes with a
child with a life threatening illness is a different story. Especially when
you understand the M-A-W foundation takes care of ALL the details and the
only involvement for the celebrity is a little of their precious time.

Missed it? I just looked at the mother's blog and she says he has
wanted to meet her for three years. Her March 2011 update sure makes it
look like it was all his idea.

I don't doubt that a four year old boy might want to go hunting,. I
would have when I was four. My father had grown up in farm country and
taught us all to shoot, but he was not a hunter.

I certainly appreciate your point of view. It is a matter of doing it
yourself instead of having it done by someone who has an unpleasant job.



None AFAIAC.



I wonder how they would feel if he wanted to go to one of those seafood
places where you can pick out the lobster you are going to eat. Not a
heck of a lot of difference IMO

I am not a great fanny of the Barefoot Contessa, but I have no problem
with her turning down request like that. You can't expect everyone
with a TV show to allow any Tom Dick or Harry on their show to make that
guest feel good about themselves.

FWIW.... we are having a fund raising dance and silent auction for my
charity organization tonight. I went to just about every store and
business in the area looking for donations for the auction and less than
10% donated. I am not saying that they are cheap and don`t donate to
any charity but I guess they were supporting other charities.

I agree, Dave. I'm not Ina Garten but I get calls all the time from
people/causes asking for money. I have some specific charities I give
donations to. The rest of them just have to accept it when I say sorry, but
no. It doesn't make Twitter or Facebook or whatever. Being a celebrity
apparently makes you even more of a target, and if you (or your publicist or
whatever) says no it's "news". I don't think that's fair.
