Is it normal to enjoy shooting animals on games

You see, I play this game called Red Dead Redemption, it's a Western style game. But aside from that, it's full of all sorts of animals, from rabbit to bear.

Is it normal, to enjoy shooting animals? Like, I wouldn't do this in reality, I love animals (I guess you wouldn't of expected that).. This might sound immature but do you enjoy shooting animals on games?

Another stupid thing to say is that I'm afraid that killing animals on the game will lead to bad influences on me.

Okay now I feel really stupid, but I still want your opinion on this.

    They're not real. It's just a game. Enjoy your killing spree in the game. :)

    And assaulting women and raping them in games? Is that acceptable, too, because they "aren't real" and it's "just a game" so it's "alright?"

    The problem with harming animals/women/whatever in a game is that 1) there are people who can't separate a game from reality and will harm or kill another being and 2) it does de-sensitize people to the suffering of others.

    Why is it that harming and killing - even in a (so-called) game supposedly "fun?" Are people secretly bloodthirsty and so this is a way to vent it? Aren't we supposed to be a more "evolved" species and above harming others for entertainment and amusement, even if symbolically?

    The point is that humans are always creating some to shit on, and these games? Well, they just mirror real life and real society, unfortunately. These games aren't always what they seem to be.

    I don't understand video games that kill people, so this doesn't seem normal to me either.

    I'd never kill an animal in real life, but I also have nothing against hunting. I have played those hunting games at the arcades and things. Which are fun, I guess as long as you're not getting some kind of weird pleasure out of it, it's okay :-) Never actually played Red Dead Redemption though :-P
