I know there are some people who generally approve of hunting, those who think it is morally wrong and some who are in between. So I would like to know your view on this subject. I am open-minded and respect other peoples opinions so give to me.

My opinion:
I think as long as the person hunting isn't just doing it to compete to who can get the bigger/better animal it is fine. If the hunter is going to put the animal to use, it is fine by me. But, this may come from the fact that I myself am a hunter, my dad is a hunter and both my grandfathers were too.

I think hunting is wrong if they are to be trophies for the hunter after. I don't think there's any point to this and the ways that some hunters hunt is cruel and makes the animal suffer terribly.
But if they are killing the animals because they need them for food or to make themselves warm, then that is ok. So that they are killing animals to survive basically. I don't think hunting for fun is right.

Your right there are some people out there who do use "inhumain" practices when hunting and to be honest it sickens me to think about it. When you say "I don't think there's any point to this...", do you mean the thread or hunting?

I meant the hunting. I think that this thread is pretty good. It lets people express their opinions about a quite important subject I think.

I don't agree with hunting. I have never agreed with it. I don't see why people go out to kill animals just for trophies. I think it is quite sick and disgusting. I hate hunting when they use the dogs. Also when people hunt with guns they sometimes shoot the animal in a place that don't kill them instantly. My dad shot a pigeon with a gun and as he was going shoot it moved slightly and he ended up hurting it really bad but not killing it. I have never agreed with him shooting them. All hunting is bad in my opinion.

Take a look at your teeth. We aren't carnivores. We're supposed to be vegetarians.
I do not believe in hunting. I hate it. >_< Sure, the animal will die eventually, but it will (hopefully x.o) die in a more natural way then a bullet or a knife. If you want to kill an animal to hang it on your wall as a trophy, or for competition, that is just wrong. It's cruel. How about I stick a knife in your heart and hang your butt up on my wall? I don't think killing an animal should be something to be, at all, proud of.

If you want to make a coat for yourself, I can understand that. But not making a thousand sweaters that has real fur on it for design. v.v

There's my opinion~ xD

Thanks, that's what I was going for.

I would not qualify a 'trophy' as putting something to good use.
Nethier do I, maybe I worded that wrong. I'll take another shot, if the animal is hunted and put to good use then if the hunter wants to make it into a mount or something like that I feel that would be more respectful to the animal than throwing it in the trash.

Hunting an animal for food = Normal. It's instinctive for others to survive.
Hunting an animal to control a population, prevent the spread of disease or to protect the existence of other organisms = Acceptable.
Killing an animal for its coat, despite there being many alternatives = Debateable, but nowadays quite looked down upon.

Hunting for sport, trophies or pleasure = Plain disgusting.

Animals have a right to live as we do. Humans are animals as well, just being more intelligent doesn't mean that it is acceptable for us to kill them for kicks.

Lol.

Since hunters eat every animal they shoot and mount. Like mountain lions, bears and coyotes for example.
Coyotes are concidered vermins in Texas and are hunted because if they are left alone they will go after livestock.

Coyotes are shot by farmers since they are a pest, which is no different than killing a mouse in your house.

People eat bear.

People eat Mountain Lion.

Dude, I'm almost entirely against hunting, sorry...

I mean, I guess it's acceptable with a liscense, and if the person who goes out and kills the animals uses their remains for a good use (IE food), but hunting just for sport absolutely sickens me; I'm in shock that someone would actually want to go out searching for an animal in their own environment, and be able to pull a trigger on anything, seeing the fear and pain in its eyes, just before it goes...
I've left PC.

Why? I'm tired of all the people here who think they're cooler than they actually are, I'm tired of the way certain people get away with things, just because they're friends with the staff here, I'm tired of all the raging teen-angst contained within these forums I'm tired of the way no one knows how to take a joke anymore, I'm tired of how I've been treated by the people I've thought to be my "friends" here, and I'm tired of all the unwanted drama PC has caused in my life over the past several months.

Plus, Pokemon just sucks anyways.

Wow, that was an really depresing post... There's no need to for an apology you are intitled to your opinion and I respect that. Also like I said before I too am aginst trophy hunting it seems to me that people could find better ways to spend there time than killing an animal just to say that they did.


Something that I found out last year when I went to get my deer licence was that in Texas you can get a hunting licence when your 7, yes it isn't a typo you only have to be 7 to get a hunting licence in Texas.

Hunting things like wild rabbits is okay, I supose.

But trophy hunting is inhumane and disgusting. Everytime a see a moose head or anything like that I want to vomit.I could never go through with killing any animal. I couldn't live with myself. Hunting is inhumane and wrong. For food and survival, I could understand, but in today's society in most cases you won't have to hunt for food. What murderface says about the pain and fear in the animal's eyes before you pull the trigger is so true. Once I had to get my dog put down and when I looked into his eyes he was asking me, "Why?" It was so deeply depressing. I feel much more depressed when an animal dies rather than when a human dies (unless it's my mother or my brothers).

Killing an animal to decrease population (i.e, Aussie's rabbits) is okay with me as long as they don't go to far and control it rather than completely destroy it. I can't stand the killing of canines though so killing creatures like cyotes or wolves sickens me deeply. Same with killing rats. That's why I cry whenever I read books like Where the Red Fern Grows or Old Yeller. Just typing this post has made my cry a little.


Sorry for having a heart, people.

What numbnut says we are carnivores? We do have canines. They may be short, but they're still there. Take a good look at our diet. It only makes sense to call ourselves omnivores. There are archaeological records showing that humans always had an omnivorous diet, including meat. Now, we don't need to rely on meat to survive though. It's just a matter of choice.
I just hate how some vegetarian freaks contrast humans with carnivores. >__<!

Anyways, I feel a bit in the middle when it comes to hunting. But it only seems to be a hobby, or should I say, a game. People collect moose heads to hang above their fireplace, collecting rabbit tails because they are supposedly "good luck," and for brags. I see no good reason coming out of hunting, other than food.

I think hunting for the pure fun of it is wrong because you are upsetting the animal's delicate eco-system. If I shot a doe, and it had babies to tend to, the babies would die if they had no food, or would be eaten by a predator. Imagine if they were the only deer there. That would mean that carnivorous predators, like wolves/foxes would run out of food, and start hunting other animals who would also be affected because the predator is hunting them down so much.

Oh, and we are omnivorous, but some of us are vegetarian (me).

This is where knowledge and etiquette comes in. From the day they are born to the day that they leave thier mothers care, fawns rarely leave thier mother's side and it is down right sick to hunt a doe and or any female animal when the hunter sees that it has children to attend to. However I say this only to inform and I do respect your opinion.

Me and Eliana used to have a movement on hunting. I miss Eli. ._.

Eating for survival is one thing but I'm not a fan of it as a sport. Sadly, it one of those things that cannot be abolished completely. It's just a act of human nature.
