Animal Sports Are Wrong
Killing animals for fun is wrong. Like the seal thing in the winter, where they smash their skulls.

It goes against my upbringing, but I agree. My family kept greyhounds, went coursing, which is some kind of sport, compared to lamping, few hares are ever actually caught. The dogs natural instinct is to chase, which I understand the buzz from, watching the dogs run, but I never got the kill.
It is nature mind you. Just some people enjoy watching it, some dont.
Some would say it is mans natural instinct to hunt.
But for need, not for sport, is my angle.
What seal clubbing has to do with animal sports I do not know. Think the poster is a bit confused.

I agree. Though I thought there was a bigger reason for killing the harp seals than just for fun...or is that something totally different?

But yeah, there are much better ways to get entertainment.

Killing any animal for amusment is of course wrong. There is obviously no need to show dominance over the planet by killing animals for pure fun, as our dominance is almost overbearing. However hunting for an animal that you will eat, it understandable as you can find use in the animal, and in some cases hunting helps the animal population (Deer Hunting reduces the starvation rate of Deer Population). But killing an animal just for fun like bullfighting or dog fighting is just cruel.

I can't imagine killing an animal, just because I could, it's kind of heartless in my opinion, but then again, you need something to fill in your extra time, no matter how barbaric.

Animal sports help maintain humanity's dominance of the planet.

No it is not for fun it is for the management of the countryside.
