What I learned from Preservation

Knowing anything at all about any of the subjects touched on or central to this film makes the film at first non stop laughter and then one just feels pity.

Literally everything about hunting and hunters is absurd, basic survival absurd, basic fighting absurd, as you noted, basic first aid, absurd.

As far as the voice over on only human s hunting for fun, not only do most humans who hunt, hunt for food, one has only to watch a cat toying with a mouse or bird (cats kill billions per year without eating them) to know that several animals hunt for fun. Heck I love dolphins, but they have been observed doing it!

In fact humans who don't hunt for food did it for status trophies for hundred of thousands of years. Hence the bear or lion claw on the necklace as a symbol and proof of bravery and fitness, or in the case of a woman, the ability to gain attention of someone with bravery or fitness.

There is a lot of cross cultural ignorance and bigotry in the world. I find it interesting these filmmakers believe and can trot out practically every single bigoted stereotype about people who hunt or are veterans.

I learned that vegans are totally ok with hunting for sport. So much so that they'll even personally gun down animals just as long as they don't have to eat them.
