Well I have never told one to shutup, but I have told Buffy my chihuahua, to be quiet. She barks at everything, and you just can't take it to seriously when she barks, she might be barking at a bug. Now she thinks she is bad when we have company, though she hides until they start to walk out the door and then she comes running at them and barking with this " See I made them go away" attitude. Luckily I live in the country and no neighbors get bothered by her.
The hunting well I think its okay to hunt, as long as what you are hunting is going to be food, not as a trophy hanging on your wall.
