I do think people should be allowed to hunt. I do eat meat. I don't personally hunt, but if I was stranded in the woods with no food, I could guarantee you..I would hunt for food to survive.
Yes I support hunting. My step dad hunted, and he was always bringing it home for us to eat. He was safe with his guns too! Kept them locked up so I couldn't wonder in and be curious about them. I really don't like guns. for some reason, they scare me, but that is why I don't own one., but for those who want to hunt, I think it is ok to do so.
If hunting for food, great - have at it.
If hunting for sport, I'm gonna say no. Just doesn't bode well with me.
Well sean
there is a big difference between hunting for sport and hunting to eat and hunting to keep numbers down and prevent overpopulation. Poaching and hunting out of season is very popular in the midwest unfortunatly. I know people who have contest to see how many deer they can kill in a summer. They all carry rifles and such in their pickups and if they see a deer, they shoot it. They cut the tail off and keep it to keep track of how many they have killed. This is a summer "game" people seriously drive around with spotlights on back county dirt roads looking for deer to kill, they dont eat it, they leave it where it lays and just keep the tail. Ive seen pickup with 30+ deer tails hanging in the back window. That is killing for "sport"...and that i dont agree with. I know other people who go out with there guns and pretty much shoot whatever moves. Leaving it all to rot. That is killing for sport...
Killing for food, is killing for food, not sport. Sport to me, means "no purpose", just for fun. While hunting may be fun and described as a sport, it does have a purpose and that is to eat....
Killing animals to prevent over population may also be considered sport but it too serves a purpose.
Shooting itself is what is a sport. Sport is competition. Hunting, may be a competition but it should only be done legally and in season. And none of it should be wasted.
Im a competitive shooter. I go to tournaments with my dad and we compete to see who is the best shot. That is "sport"...I go kill prairie dogs to hone my shooting skills that is "sport" except im not killing the prairie dogs for fun, im killing them to protect livestock and horses and if they wernt killed with a bullett to the brain a farmer would drown them or poison them. I for one would rather be killed instantly. So im really doing them a favor....so its not sport...
That sean is the difference
Hunting is important for the state economy I live in. People come from across the country to hunt,
which generates revenue. There are
regulations regarding how many animals a hunter can kill, depending on the animal
population. Hunting is used for population control. Most hunters eat the meat or give it away to
someone who will eat it. Since the meat
we eat comes from animals, it doesn’t matter if the animal came from a farm or
the wild.
You ought to see how crazy this pc screen is, like crazy! It comes on, and then flickers off, then I'll be typing one minute, then the next, it is back on the first screen where you click on to the internet! Wild! Maybe I 'm tripping without the dope, ya think?
by the way, what is that first screen called where all the windows are on it?? Papajack says it is called windows....hahaha!
hey thanks for keeping the conversation going here, and addressing different ones, that is really cool' somebody had to do it......thanks! DEE
Me-my---I guess I didn’t know how many people feel strongly about hunting. I grew up with hunters and guess I have a hunter’s mentality to a point, but we always ate what we killed.
