Hunting Is A Bad Thing!
If you hunt for the game an not for food it is wrong the animal can't say no so why do we have to hunt there are plenty of animals raised for being eaten so leave the other animals alone.

We should all be vegetarians and eat tofu and lentils.

 I am allergic to legumes. I cannot eat lentils, dried beans, soy, chickpeas and so on. I cannot have peanuts either. I wish I could eat that stuff, but since I cannot I was becomming very anemic and had to slowly add meat back into my diet.

I would love to hunt, if that didn't mean i had to kill. I have no problem with people hunting for food... But look-it-that. I can't go four-frickin-miles without seeing a wal-mart, McDonald's, or both. Ever see Bambi? (ha ha) Seriously, guys- hunting for pleasure is almost like condoned sadism.

 Frankly if you if you are unwilling to kill and prep an animal to eat I think it's hypocritical to eat meat. We have removed ourselves from death as a society whether its food supply or just dealing with our own dead and it’s unhealthy. There are certainly some hunters who may be sadists but for many it’s more a matter of inserting yourself back into the natural process. Truthfully I’m not much of a hunter myself but I grew up with it and around it and I do believe there are some basic and vitally important things to learn from hunting that you will never understand from McDonald's.

Yes hunting is wrong most of us already eat the meat but now you have to be the one to go kill it i understand for example that the British enjoy hunting a lot i for one think it is wrong but it is up to the people to decide what they do whether it is wrong or not

I don't see why anyone would do this, i just don't understand why someone would want to kill a animal that has done nothing to them or anyone else... Just to sit and poke at its body.

It is horrible!

It is pretty bad if you have no reason for doing it, just shooting things. Yeah...that's moral.

Just like when Dick Cheney was hunting and shot a man, it can also be considered dangerous for humans as well as other animals.

 Yea it is dangerous but that's why hunters have guidelines and most have common sense. Really just when you wake up and go outside its dangerous. In today's society almost everything is dangerous

I agree. Hunting IS a bad thing. BUT, if it's for food, in limited amount only.

 If I was shot, I would think it more respectful if I wasn't eaten.

I agree, it should not be allowed.

There should be no debating the question of whether animals feel pain and, unless you are a very good shot, hunting them is very likely to cause them harm.

Rearing them and killing them HUMANELY for food on the other hand, should be allowed.

No its not. Its a necessarry role in controlling a lot of animal populations....like hogs and deer. Without hunting, they would overpopulate, over-exhaust their food supply, and starve to death. Hunting actually does them a favor.

Right now, where I live we are being over run by deer because people simply don't hunt as much as they used to. They are causing more and more car accidents and crop damage and eventually they will suffer a large die off from famine or disease, all because there aren't enough hunters.

 There is a problem with what you said. You might think that, but read the reports- there are more hunters now than ten years ago... AND the whole "keep the population down" bull- yeah. That would happen anyway. It did before us... and it will after us.

Why is it OK that domestic animals are brutally slaughtered but it's not OK to hunt an animal and make a quick clean kill. The meat you buy at your supermarket is an animal that went through a slaughter house. You just don't know the suffering it went through, whereas in hunting the animal dies literally in no more than 12 seconds. In the slaughter house sometimes the cows for example are still alive when they are hung on the meat hooks.

 so many people lose sight of this one simple fact and that fact is that animals are NOT human.
it is not immoral to kill an animal for your dinner table.
we are OMNIVORES. Not herbivores.
biology tells us that.
it is science.

Then wear plastic shoes and don't eat meat, chicken, fish, milk or eggs. Hunting is the least cruel way of obtaining animal flesh or products. And it is on a far smaller scale.

Hunting is for the talented and practical person.
Not for the tree-huggers and fearful females.

Hunting is fine, especially if you use that animal for meat and other things. I'm not so sure if I would do it for sport...I'm undecided in that aspect. But hunting in general is an animal instinct, so I'm generally fine with it.

Hunting itself is not wrong, it is so that people can get meat for food. All animals do it. I think hunting AS A SPORT is wrong. Killing living beings should not be a sport. It has a lot of moral issues.

 they kill baby HUMANS and it is sport: it is a sport called "Abortion".
It is actually MURDER in all reality.
who is going to address that FACT?

Society is morally bankrupt in that it how accepts the open season on babies but say it is "immoral" to hunt animals.
that is a very askewed perception upon reality and that is a valid issue which needs to legally be addressed.
ban the hunting of baby humans: make abortion illegal.
Animals are not humans but babies ARE.

I think it is ok, because it helps animals not get over populated to where they starve to death, but i do feel that if you are not going to eat the meat donate it to homeless shelters, soup kitchens, or orphanages.

Hunting is not wrong and is actually a lot of fun. It is a chance to spend time with family and to really bond with people. Plus it is not nearly as inhumane as people think. Think of deer hunting, if there were no deer hunters those deer would painfully die by vehicles or die of starvation because of over population. Those deaths are much worse for the animal than a gun shot is. I do however have a problem with over hunting and poaching but this is controlled by the DNR.

Some people hunt for their survival, they need to live by hunting, and if you're ancestors never hunted, you wouldn't be alive!

Hunting keeps the animal population in check. The population wont get too low because of limits on how many you can kill and hunting season for different animals.

It kept your ancestors alive. That is why you are here. Nearly every act of eating requires death to a plant or an animal. Would you rather eat a free range chicken you hunted or one that has been kept chained in a tiny box in a kind of inhuman misery you can never know? Fruits and vegetables also die when they are picked for consumption.

There are a very few exceptions-honey milk butter-but an exception is not the rule.

I see nothing wrong with hunting. At least the animal gets somewhat of a sporting chance as opposed to say cows who are impregnated constantly so they can continuously produce milk, have their calves taken away from them so they can become packaged meat, only to be grinded up into ground beef in the end. Now that's a sucky life. Hunting though? I don't like to do it myself but I see nothing wrong with doing it so long as the animals aren't endangered.

Hunting is not a bad thing. When I harvest the animal, it is for food...nothing else. If I were to harvest a 3 year old white tail deer (buck) with a massive rack, that would just be a bonus; however, my purpose in hunting is not the rack, but rather the meat. That is the way it is. This is the tradition I am passing on. Hunting links us to our ancestral traditions. It places within a person who understands the importance of it a love and respect for the animal and the environment.

Seriously if we didn't hunt we would over populate.

Hunting is not at all a bad thing in anyway. Ever since our history we have seen that kings from many counties used to take hunting as a sport and they used to do it as a pleasure activity. Since then hunting has become an integral part in many societies. Nowadays even people like hunting and they go for hunting. Even in many countries there still remains the custom that in certain occasions they go for hunting. Apart from these issues we can also see that hunting also helps in controlling the animal population. Certain animals have a large population but with the help of hunting they are coming into control. Even the government in certain countries also encourages hunting. Still in some of the remote villages we can find that people are still alive by having the animals that they hunt. Thus hunting is not a bad thing.

I agree with huntcowboy because we are helping the environment by keeping the population of animals down and then they won't run out of room to live in, in the forests and come into the town!

How would we survive if we got started miles from civilization. Other Animals hunt. The Only way we would have survived in the cavemen days.

If we do not hunt the animals will overpopulate and we will have to deal with them coming into the towns because all the animals ate their food
