Description
Okay. Lemme explain.Watch out. Textwall.
Hunting is cruel!
No, it really isn't that cruel. In most scenarios, the animal dies quickly and barely feels a thing. Most of the time the meat is used, occasionally the fur, rarely the bones. Not to mention that if it's not used, it decomposes and adds nutrients to the soil. Not to mention it can feed scavengers that come across it. Either way it's a benefit. Not to mention, when compared to meat farms, it's a lot better - the animal gets to live it's life how it naturally should and it has a very good chance of not being shot.
People only hunt for profit!
Holy crap... Anyone who thinks that the only reason people hunt is for profit obviously don't know anything about hunting. When you go hunting, you need many things. To name a few:
Camouflage Clothes
Hiking Boots (Good quality ones)
Food
Knife
Gun or Bow
Ammo or Arrows (You should have enough for your entire time)
Tags,
ect.
Then, when you spend all that money and get what you want, you still have to take the carcass to a butcher. If you want, you still have to take the pelt/head to a taxidermist. That leaves little room for profit. The only real profitable hunting is poaching.
People who hunt are nothing but stupid rednecks!
This one's a big shocker. Overuse of stereotypes, much? Not to mention in the state of Idaho, you are required to take a hunter's education course before you can get your permit. You have to take a test, pass, and take a hunting test. These people know what they're doing. Unless they're from NY. Ever heard the story about the NY Elk? Ask.
Hunting is just driving out into the forest and shooting animals from your truck!
Actually, that's illegal. You have to get out of your truck in order to shoot. You don't find very many animals by the side of the road.
People who hunt hate animals!
False-a-roonie. I live in an area surrounded by hunters. We're all hunters. I have never seen one hunter who hates the animals that they hunt. Not to mention that a portion of the money from the tags goes to the conservation of the animals.
tl;dr

I'm smart enough to know that I don't need to know how to kill someone to know it's wrong.

A deer, duck, rabbit, pig, chicken, or bear isn't someone despite what you keep insisting in your gross darkness perpetuated by your hate, foul mind, and idolatry. Don't you have enough gods to worship?

When hunting I use it all! Well, minus some of the guts... We eat the meat, use the bones for stock, and sell the hide. I hope you don't mind if I use your stamp!Β

And I do. I make sure to practice my shots so that I know the killing blow is as swift and as painless as possible. I use as much of the animal as possible. It's actually more humane than buying meat from stores. Most of the meat from stores are from animals who have suffered most if not all of their lives. Not to mention game is leaner and healthier to eat.Β

Yeah, but you don't have to kill animals at all if you can stick to plant based food. It's no different than carnism Regardless of how painless you kill an animal it's still a loss of life and possibly the loss of a family member like a parent or offspring, and you trap/shoot them in their own homes so it removes them of safety and privacy. Yes, the meat industry is sickingly bad, but you can't trade one life for another and think it's okay. There's a reason why we don't shoot and butcher humans for food, because their life has value. It's just a matter of perspective. Hunting for food would be acceptable if we were carnivores but we're not even biologically meant to eat meat, nor do humans have predatory instincts. We can survive off of picking plants but there's no way we can kill and eat an animal raw, for example.

First of all, I will NEVER go vegan or vegetarian for as long as I can sustain it. So I would appreciate it if you would mind your manners and not push your beliefs onto me. Second, humans evolved into what they are now with the aid of eating meat. The meat protein provided the means for humans to grow larger brains and muscle mass. And it still does to this day. Muscle builders that eat animal protein have better results developing muscle that those that consume plant protein. Also, we still have canines! These are only supported by creatures that can and do consume meat.
You mentioned not eating humans. Well, new flash, it still happens today. Whether it be one of the very few tribes of cannibals left in the world, people left in desperate situations, or just some strange fetish, people do still eat people today. It happened a lot long ago. People actually used human body parts as medicine and ritual at one point or another during the Renaissance and Victorian times. And I guarantee yah when law and order completely fails, food runs short, and all hell breaks loose people will turn on one another for a food source.
You are right in saying we are not carnivore. In fact, we are omnivores. We are designed to both gather AND hunt our food. Humans are still natural predators. It's shown on the news all the time. When a person stalks another and takes them down to kill them or other wise, that's a predator instinct being used. Out in the field, we train ourselves to listen for the slightest sound, watch for the tiniest movement, seek out scents and clues that will lead us to our target. With training, this also becomes instinct.
Now, before you go and say that veganism/vegetarian is better, more "humane", keep in mind that to maintain large orchards and fields for those fruits and vegetables habitats must be destroyed to make space. Animals die and lose their homes during this process. Chemicals are used to control and prevent disease and pests. Again, due to these often deadly chemicals, animals die and loose their homes. So organic or not, either way there is lose of life and habitat. To be honest, the absolute most humane way to supply yourself with food is to grow them in your own house or yard where you can maintain them as chemical free and small of space as possible.
I highly encourage you to research all that I have stated here. I promises you'll find multiple, if not LOADS, of research to back up this up.
With that all said, I bid you farewell and hope that you educate yourself. Good day.Β

Hunting is fine by me only if it's for food. Hunting for sport I'm nuetral about as long as no one is poaching. Killing animals like wolves because of overpopulation is alright because let's face it, if the world was over run by animals we would be in big trouble.
π: 0 β©: 0
The only type of Hunting I respect is eating the animal and using its skin for food andΒ resources. I don't like trophy hunting at all and think population control is dumb.
But I wouldn't say I'm against it, some people rely on hunting animals to live. The farmers around where I live hunt for food and supplies because it saves them money as well as other things.Β
But there are some idiots out there that think Hunting and poaching are the same thing.

Hunting is the kindest way to kill an animal for food in my opinion. Think about all those ignorant people that say hunting is "terrible and evil" and that most often eat don't consider that farms slaughter billions of animals each day purely for profit and it is done in the most painful ways such as decapitation, stabbing, a bolt to the head, and bled to death while being hung from the ceiling. Farming is a cruel and vicious practice that tortures animals their whole life(dont worry, I have nothing against people who do eat meat, this is purely my opinion) wheras with hunting animals are killed quickly without pain(that is,if the right killing method is used) and they get to live out their life happily and fully until they get killed, which is the natural order intended. Humans are meant to hunt. Naturally all carnivores and omnivores hunt some way or another, but the reason most humans no longer hunt is because the way society is, us thinking that we can just mass slaughter INNOCENT animals for profit. Yes, I am vegetarian, but if i did have to eat meat, i would surely do the kind thing and hunt for it.

Not even all farming is evil, there are places in the world where ranching and animal agriculture is good for the environment.

The only types of hunting I have a problem with are poaching and canned hunting, trophy hunting bugs me a little too, but I can understand wanting to preserve the animal for future generations to see in case it goes extinct.
From what I've heard canned hunting is essentially cheating.
Other than that, I have a respect for hunters, especially those who find a way to use all parts of the animals they kill.

It makes me laugh a little when people say people who hunt are just stupid rednecks - I mean, Basil Rathbone, a British actor, loved archery hunting, and he was probably the most legit classy gentleman that ever existed.

Not to mention the fact that animals hunt, too. They may not use guns, but really, in my opinion, I would rather take a bullet to the brain than be mowed down and have my spine chomped on. Nature can be brutal.

Im okay with huntin but i disagree with this one thingΒ
No, it really isn't that cruel. In most scenarios, the animal dies quickly and barely feels a thing.
So.. if i just go around the city , shoot people so they die quickly and barely feel a thing. and it would be okay?

whats the story about the NY Elk? just curious

Agreed. I hate it when people dis hunting because, they think it's just flat out wrong. I only agree to hunt for survival than just to hunt and kill animals for no reason.Β
π: 0 β©: 0
I myself don't agree with hunting, and find most of it to be wrong. The only thing I respect is eating the animal and using its skin. Other than that, I could never hunt and kill an animal myself.

I agree too. Especially when shit hits the fan. XD

id like to point out that just because a hunter mounts a deer/any other animal they've killed, doesn't mean they're trophy hunters! alot of hunters (myself included) see mounting an animal as a form of respect and a way to honor the animal for their life that they lived, and especially if the hunt was exciting.Β

I used to be one of those obnoxious "but animals are majestic and humans are evil!" preteen girls a few years back. Even though I still oppose it, I respect the people who partake in it.

My dad is an avid hunter of ducks, geese, and swans, as well as doves, turkeys, and squirrels. He always uses the meat on the birds and dicards of the goose carcasses on a friend's property where he has acres fenced in to raise coyotes, he just leaves the geese in the middle of the woods for the coyotes to chow down on. We even put up two nest boxes for wood ducks at another freind's creek. My dad also has a strong pity on rabbits since badically everything in the world tries to kill them, and he hates it when our cat kills baby rabbits, opossums, or flying squirrels. Saying that hunters don't care about animals is like saying sports fans don't care about sports or that chefs don't care about cooking. Nature cannot create life without creating death, for a wolf to live a moose, caribou, muskox, or bison has to die, for a deer to live plants have to die, for plants to live they need nutrients from the soil that come from rotting plants and animals, its nature and nature is cruel.
