hunters vs. animal rights...comments?

Question

While i personally am a "flexitarian" I have no problem with hunting game for personal consumption as long as it is respectfully done and nothing wasted...I also do not have a problem with fur...If animals were not harvested we would be over run...but i do believe endangered species should be protected ....Anyone? Anyone?

Answer 1

I'm with you. If I eat beef why can't I wear leather? And those animals are bred for their fur. Like cows for meat and leather.
Also, the tree hugging nut jobs don't realize is that all the fake fur and leather actually cause more pollution creating them than just harvesting the fur.

Answer 2

I agree with you. There has to be a line drawn somewhere however. Recreational activities such as canned hunting should be made illegal. Often times, individuals will take ownership of an exotic animal (if a circus had no need for it anymore or if the animal couldn't be kept in a private residence any longer) and place it on their land. These people then take big bucks from hunters. These hunters will go into the fenced property and kill animals as a trophy. Anything from tigers, bears, rhinos, etc. The animals don't have a prayer as they're essentially caged in.

They should also outlaw shark fin soup. For instance, a fisherman will catch a shark, bring it on board the boat, cut off their fins and push the still alive shark back in the water. The poor shark then falls to the bottom of the ocean where it'll slowly die. To me, that's just outrageously cruel.

If you're going to hunt, then use all that the animal can offer - their meat, their fur, etc. I feel that people who kill to hang it on their wall have a serious ego problem. Not to mention, it's just gross!

Answer 3

Agree the problem is that some people act in an ignorant way defending animals like they was sacred and they forget that animals are for a good use the seal hunting in Canada is controlled and the problem is when this is accepted with endangered animals some activist act with good Faith and with ignorance they forget that hunting for food and getting fur is good it create employment and make some poor countries can sell leather and fur and offer hunting programs as long all this is controlled with ecologic respect why defend animals over all when there are humans dying of starvation curable diseases and are victims of racist crimes the problems is that many vegetarians and activists become intolerant and even violent against who think different they believe their ideas are right and all are wrong every one must think like them even they must "convince" all who think different justifying any act against others who they say "are wrong" even attacking others business or even the personal integrity and life

Answer 4

I agree with you....although I myself can't see how shooting a defenseless dear is fun. As long as the animal isn't going to get wiped off the earth by hunters and they aren't being wasted but eaten, then I guess it is fine. I personally have more feelings towards animals than humans sometimes, so if i had to choose though I would rather not have hunting. Hunting should be reverted back to bow and arrow where it takes strength and determination ...instead many times I see people hanging out in there tree house waiting for deer to eat salt lick....But things won't change.

Answer 5

I agree with you. I believe we as humans are natural hunters although I must say I do prefer to do my hunting at the local grocery store! I think to hunt and kill and then only take the head for a trophy is really cruel but as long as its being consumed I dont have a problem woth licensed hunters. I do believe some animals should be protected like the bald eagle.

Answer 6

i concept that Ghost Adventures is greater actual and logic than Ghost Hunters coz in Ghost Adventures, you will discover that they reacted so life like on an identical time as they investigating, each and every so often they get scared each and every so often they are panic, crying and screaming,(in each and every episode). additionally they are basically using the cameras that purely on their palms and using the installation cameras, and there is not any further crews different then the 4 of them( Zak, Aaron, Billy, and Jay).

Answer 7

I AGREE WITH YOU (mainly)
I do not like trophy hunting
some animals are raised just for their fur and treated inhumanly - I think that is cruel and the people that are wearing fur are not wearing it for warmth for the most part

Answer 8

Where is the "sport" in shooting a critter with a rifle that
could knock the eyes out of a fly at 1/4 mile.
Some sport. It seems too many critters die at our hands
because it's "fun".

Answer 9

I'm all for conservation but lets not go over board, I really don't care if some insect or snail go's the way of the dodo bird!

Answer 10

I agree.

Unfortunately with the underground markets or "Black Market" dealing with poachers, this problem will not stop unless the fines are higher and the forces used to stop this horrible and selfish problem are increased.
