That was the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard.
Or seen.

That's your opinion I suppose.

But an animal is an animal.
Granted, I have grown up in a hunting community.
We don't kill them and giggle about it or anything.

I don't agree with the whole, hunting is cruel and wrong and it's all mankind's fault.

Did I say that?

I meant that animals are living closer to humans, because the humans are expanding towns :rolleyes:

Humans are animals.

I voted yes.

Fox hunting in England was horrific. And now that it has been banned, badger hunting is the latest thing.

They set dogs on them, and watch them fight. The dogs get dreadful injuries but the owners don't take them to the vet for fear of being caught, as badger hunting is illegal. How the **** is this right?!

Hunting for sport is wrong.
Hunting for food is ok.

it depends. If there's a large number of say deer roaming around then go ahead shoot it. They'll reproduce wants mating season comes along.
And most countries/areas have ways of regulating hunting so that ane ntire species isn't wiped out.
In the case of deer specifically, I know that in PA they have something called deer tags. Tags tell you what you can shoot. The most deer tags are usually for bucks, unless one particular year there seem to be quite a large number of doe then there'll be more deer tags.

That is the way it works in Canada as well.

It really has very little to do with the towns expanding, its that the animals are becoming more domesticated

I don't really see how people only care about a species being wiped out. Oh no, there will be no pretty deers for us to look at!

Think of the pain those animals go through. Each individual animal. Maybe The deer that got shot a few seconds ago somewhere had little babies to look after.

around here they actully exstended the season due to the high number of accidents due to a deer, though the season is longer around here, we still have more deer then ever.
