I believe that "Bambi" and "Black Beauty", along with "Beautiful Joe" and any similar tales, were traditional children's stories meant to TEACH youngsters (and oldsters alike) to treat All animals HUMANELY -- In the specific case of "Bambi" also that hunters should Not shoot Does in the FAWNING season ... And for tear-jerker books, the biography of Modoc the Elephant would even break the heart of a "heartless" person https://www.amazon.com/Modoc-Story-Greatest-Elephant-Lived/dp/0060929510

I'm not buying the part about Bambi. Bambi is based on Austrian novel that was not a children's story. It was political, anti-hunting propaganda, and was even banned in Germany as they thought it was a satirical reference to the plight of Jews in Europe. IMO, Disney added a couple of cutesy sidekick forest animals to make it a children's movie so that they could make bucks at the box office. Sadie

I don't happen to be a hunter myself, but the few of them whom I know personally, all abide by that General Rule

Absolutely, yes, BUT to me The Art of Racing in the Rain was also uplifting. I was not at all sorry that I read it.
