Hunting, What is your opinion on it? Options

[jgreening]

I'm not a huge animal rights activisist or nothin but i think that hunting is TOTALLY wrong.  Killing living things for fun should not be allowed, and if it is, then killing people should be legal as well.  I dont buy into that "OVERPOPULATED" cr*p either (when it comes to bear or deer season).  If that was the case, then should we go into overpopulated countries such as China or India and kill people to decrease the population?  I dont buy into that.  Whenever i see videos of hunters gettin mauled by lions, tigers, or whatever, i just sit there and laugh and wish i was there watchin it in person cuz i show no sympathy for them what so ever.  I find it funny that laws in the US contradict themselves as you arent allowed to abuse pets at home, but its ok for u to shoot other animals?  Such a load of sh** to me.

What about mosquitos? If I kill a mosquito, am I a murderer? LOL. Regardless of the animal, surely you don't mean to suggest that killing animals is on the same moral plane as killing people......

Also, the overpopulation argument is not crap. I don't know if you live in an area with a lot of deer but I can tell you this: the annual population of deer is directly proportional to the number of traffic accidents (some involving serious injuries and death) involving deer. Also, they eat crops, new trees, and cause many other problems that hunters could tell you about. I am not a hunter but I think controlling these populations makes some sense.

I live in the middle of the f*ckin woods. On the mountains in Northern NJ. I KNOW about Bears, foxes, wolves, deers, snakes and everything. Still doesnt give them the rights. Animals were here before we were, so its THEIR land that we invaded and decided to build roads on so u cant fault them for tryin to cross a road to get somewhere. I still consider it their land. Ive avoided MANY MANY deers in my life in the woods. Thats still no excuse. Controlling populations is just their way of giving hunters satisfaction.

listen just becuz PEOPLE say its ok. its not morally correct.. bottom line, for certain needs yes, but for fun.. thats bull.....

[Sh0gunkid8721]

obviously if ur stranded somewhere and need food and need to hunt...then obviously u need to hunt for neeed. But to hunt for "FUN" or as a sport...or to get rich off animal fur or whatever is totally unnecessary. i have VERY strong opinions on this topic and i think hunting as a sport should be illegal.

You need a hug... go hug a tree. Human beings and our ancestors have been killing, and have been killed by animals for millions of years. It's a part of the cycle of life and the food chain. Yeah, I think some people who hunt are morons, but the act of killing an animal is not wrong. Is a cougar that kills a deer a murderer? No. When my cat kills a bird, mouse, or chipmunk, is she a murderer? No. Killing an animal should never be compared to killing a human being. Human life is far more valuable than an animals. If you derive any pleasure out of watching a human being killed by anything, than you're a sick, sadistic person and just as bad those people you despise. There are many people who have different opinions than myself, but I would never laugh at them being killed, and they're entitled to their own opinion. I think hunting is okay, so I occasionally do it, and if you don't agree with it, then don't do it. But don't deny someone else's right to do it.

I I can respect bow hunters, and even more so those who go hunting with nothing but a knife. [right][snapback]341656[/snapback][/right]

That's crazy, I've never heard of anyone going hunting with just a knife. How could you ever get close enough to kill anything?
[right][snapback]341697[/snapback][/right]

I can go hunting with a fishing pole. These things are awesome!
So far I have caught possum, ducks, squirrels, birds, fish, turtles, snakes and so much creatures in the watr and on LAND too!.

My favorite hook= The treble hook the size of 2 half-dollar coins.

hunting has paved the way for our modern society. You know why tigers don't think twice about killing? because they don't have PETA to fill their minds with propaganda.
Notice, when a hunter goes hunting, he doesn't grab the animal and slowely drown it in the nearest bit of water. It's almost always over quickly. Granted, some people might go overboard a bit (ala Ted Nugent) but without the hunting and klilling of animals, this great nation could never have been.

wow, easy on the kool-aid. That distinction is so far off the mark of this conversation... it's not even remotely relevant.

KILLIN FOR FOOOOOOOOD and CLOTHING. Not for fun. They had a NEEEEEEEEED to kill...a NEEEEEEEEED to hunt. Key word being NNEEEEEEEEED. NNEEEEEED...NEEEEEEED. Imma drill that into ur thick head. Cats kill birds cuz its their NATURAL NEEEEEED to kill for food. Animals killing animals is because of a NEEEEEEEEEED to eat. Thats completely different than hunting for fun. because they NEEEEEEEEEEED...NEEEEEEED...NEEEEEEEED to kill. Not for fun...but for NEEEEEEEED

I feed my cats. Sometimes they catch animals like bunnies and chipmunks and frogs and bring them up on the porch and just slap them around until they die. Then they don't eat them. Does that make them murderers? No. Even people who hunt for sport eat what they kill. I've never met a person who doesn't eat what they kill. Everyone NEEDS to eat. Just because a person can as easily go to a store to buy food doesn't make it wrong to go kill your own food.

[Sh0gunkid8721]

wow ur ignorant...an animals NATURAL INSTINCT does that. Thats the difference between an animal and a human. Obviously u have no common sense to figure that out. I guess u and a squirrel share the same size brain maybe but obviously u cant read between the lines. My point is that theres a difference between killing for NEEED. And killing for fun. If u NEED to kill for food and are desperate, then its ok, but to kill for fur, fun or any other reason than food is unnecessary. I guess i just had to say that out loud for u to comprehend?

if there are some rabbits and they are being pests to farmers I say shoot the little b**tards they will be causing damage to the property and plants.

[Sh0gunkid8721]

Maybe u should check out my first post.  I don't hunt anymore but someone who
never has spewing off about how dumb it is?  I never wasted anything.  Also
I never called you names to express my point, I guess that shows ur maturity.  I could go back and forth on this with you for hours,  but I have to make dinner.

Its people like you, peta members, that poison hunting dogs, thats real ethical.
Also I think the paper is in. (original Post)

I have a lot of fun with vegies.

I have no issues with eating meat, and I openly admit this to vegies. Most often they will attack me and ask wether I would butcher an animal myself....

My honest reply is that I have assisted my father in butcher a deer, twice. "But if dit makes you feel better both of the were road kill." - to my astonishment, this utterly repels them. I believed that this is the most humane method of eating meat, but there own prejudices cloud their judgement. It is not like there were killed for the enjoyment of the hunter.

My father hunts every year, in fact he is moose hunting right now. I would somewhat enjoy hunting however I know there are many avid hunters who enjoy it more and given the limited number of animals needed for culling, I prefer to give the joy to those who enjoy it more than me.

No issues here, it is part of nature.
