I like to fish, I don't think that fishing is wrong at all, and I' retty sure it'snot considered hunting...

Thomas January 17th, 2005 8:08 PM

Well vegetarians can eat fish it is not hunting. 0_o Does that even make sense?

I don't mind eating meat or fish.But i've never been hunting and personly i don't want to go.it must be sad watching a poor defenceless bunny rabbit or deer or any animal getting shot.

Nay, fishing for food isn't, and recreational fishing in moderation is okay.

I am against other recreational hunting. It's so terribly wrong. What if all the ducks and kangaroos and eagles and foxes and all chased us with guns? ;_;

Meh, this is a science thing. Plants cannot move right? If something was destroying or hurting them, what good is it to make them feel pain? They can't get away from or stop the cause. And if it doesn't help the plant survive it isn't passed on.
Plants may have some type of feelings or something but it is unlikely that they feel pain.

Plants don't feel pain as they have no nerves or brain -im afraid that it's simple as that ^^;
Ya, there's different hypes of hunting. The two types i dont like are blood sport (eg. fox hunting) and poaching (eg. elephant hunting). Food hunting i'm fine with ^^

Hunting just for fun is just... sick. There are just some people who enjoy torturing others, I guess. =/ It's just so sad.

In my POV, it's acceptable if people go hunting to get meat/something to eat but not just for fun, because hunting as a sport doesn't make too much sense after all.

I am talking about that hunting also few more things.

I'm against blood sport and poaching. I think it's okay to hunt for food, but for sport/money is just sickening.

No offense to people who do it. I just really like deer, rabbits, squirrels, ducks, and all those other animals that are shot at and have their lives taken away from them just because someone got a craving. I'm talking about all the people who shoot deer because they love deer meat. ><

what's the difference between cows, chicken, and piggies versus deer, rabbits, squirrels (i've never heard of anyone eating a squirrel >.>), or ducks? because you find the later group is cuter, you think they should be spared?

on the other hand, outlawing humans from killing any animal is a very ridiculous idea IMO. humans are omnivores, and a lot of people simply need to eat meat. veggie lifestyle, even if you add soy products and protein bars, just doesn't get the same energy you get from eating real meat. the canines in our mouth tell us that we eat meat too. maybe a petition for making farms cleaning and getting better conditions for the animals would be best- the places farm animals live are quite often appalling. for example, i've seen a video about dairy cows, which involves them having a life in a very tiny stall, unable to have enough space to even turn around their entire life. they are feed the worse stuff ever, and when they pass their peak in milk producing, they are simply killed off.

and as for hunting, i am both for it and against it. a lot of hunters usually eat the animals they kill- that i find unproblematic (i mean, there arent many hunters anyway), and it's usually deer which already overpopulate my home state (there are so car accidents caused by them that i wonder if more deer have harmed humans than vice versa). the hunters that kill to show off their dead quarry and make no use of the body... thats kind of stupid. and then there's the hunting i absolutely hate- hunting that involves a hunter sitting safely in a helicopter shooting down animals who have not a chance to run or defend themselves at all. that is just disgusting. i'm not sure if there's a special word for it or not, but i have heard of it more than once and the thought of that is ridiculous. i imagine some rich bourgeouis person with all his hi-tech gadgets leaning over the side of the helicopter and following a wolf running in the open with his scope...

But I, like some others on the board, am a vegetarian and have been for the past seven years of my life, by my own choice (family is omnivores).
I'm not a crazy person who would rather save a deer than my mom or starve myself instead of eating a chicken or anything stupid like that, but i do think that even if some of us can attempt to live without meat nowadays, it will greatly help the environment. Cattle farms are a huge cause of pollution in the environment, and is the second largest industry producer of pollution (after automobile industry). I feel if i can just keep away from eating meat, maybe, little by little, the environment will get better.

I am just not a big fan of the sport.
