Hunting
 

I think hunting is disgusting.

Whether it is like fox hunting for sport, or like shooting for 'food' I think it is all wrong.


How many of you agree that it is wrong?

I voted no, unless you have to hunt to survive by eating everything you kill, then it's not wrong.
Oops I mixed up my words, I meant to vote yes. Then unless.
But it's ok.

There is no need for it, we have shops these days.

I have no problem with hunting in areas which need it, there are a lot of areas in Canada where towns are over run with wild animals making a nuisance of themselves. In Northern Canada there is a real problem with bears getting into people's garbage and chasing after kids etc, in my area the deer are a pain in the ass and can get in your backyard and do a ton of damage.

The herd needs to be culled or we will simply be over run with animals, at least hunters are using 100% of what they kill

****, I clicked yes before I realised you were including hunting for food.

If you're going eat what you kill, where's the problem. It's better than buying from a slaughterhouse, because shop bought meats you can't guarantee the conditions they lived in. If they lived in the wild you know that you're getting prime cuts, and that they haven't lived in a **** hole all their life. Unless of course the animal population that you're hunting is dangerously low.

I think for the mere sport it's wrong but if you're actually gonna eat it there's nothing wrong with that. I mean wild animals atleast get roam around before they die while chickens and cows are pretty much born to die. So I think hunting>going to the grocery store.

Well I don't eat meat, so of course I think the slaughter of any animal is cruel.

I don't see how it is OK to kill an animal sa long as you 'use' it, it's still going to die a horrible death.

If a deer got into my backyard, dug up my gardens, gored out my windows, and ripped down my fence. It would die a horrible, horrible death anyway and I wouldn't use any of it.

Same goes for bears, up north they tend to like children. No contest, the bear dies before the child.

I believe that is the fault of humans, towns are expanding and the wildlife have no where to go.

So, you think we should cull the human population as opposed to the animal?
That is stupid.

An animal is an animal.
Yes, they should be treated with the respect they deserve.
But I am a human.
It is an animal.

Who outranks who is not a difficult decision.
