should people be allowed to hunt animals?

Answer 1

What most people don't realize is that modern hunters,thru license fees pay for things like,moving over crowded deer to areas less populated.reintroducing bear and turkeys into areas that were hunted out in the early days.they play a big part in population control,using different limits of possession.to many leads to disease and starvation. yes i hunt and every year give deer meat to people who can't hunt but can use the meat.here in w.v. we have a hunter donation site that proccesses meat then gives it free to low income familys..

Answer 2

Let me guess you are a vegetarian. If your not where do you think hamburger and steak come from. Killing cows is no different than me going out and hunting deer and turkey. Have you ever tried some good fried deer meat? That's some of the best eating you will find. Of course people should be allowed to hunt. There are limits to keep the population in check. If hunting didn't occur there would be more dead animals in the public roadways, more animals rummaging through your trash cans, and more animals showing up at your home. Some of these animals you probably don't want showing up in your backyard. So yes people should be allowed to hunt.

Answer 3

People have been hunting since the beginning of time why should that change now??? Seriously all the hunters i know eat what they kill as do I. I live in Alaska and yes hunting is a big part of my life, it keeps me fed through the winter. Im planning either a deer hunt or a moose hunt for this fall/winter.

Answer 4

Unless you are a strict vegan then hunting is as humane if not more so as any domestic animal production. Since most of the predators of the commonly hunted animals have gotten scarce, mostly through habitat destruction although wolves were "hunted" seeverly due to demands of cattle producers, it falls on us for population control. Deer can quicky overpopulate an area and then you get a lot more die off to starvation and diesase - not to mention road kills.

Answer 5

I think it should be dependent on why the hunter hunts that animal. If it is for food , Yes by all means as long as the food is actually used by the hunter or close friend or relative.
Also the kill must be clean and concise and no unnecessary suffering is brought about by inept or careless attitude towards the game.
However if it is purely for the sake of saying to one and all Look what I just killed. Aren't I great Then that hunter has no real purpose on this planet except for wanton destruction and really should confine their acts to spray-painting graffiti on the Walls of police stations.

Answer 6

Well, I'd say habitat destruction probably leads to more endagered species these days than hunting, which is regulated heavily. Which animal is better off, the cow who is born, fenced in, and raised to die in a factory? Or the deer, who lives free and will probably never be shot. The deer has a chance to run away. And who should govern which animals can be eaten, cows and not deer? Let man decide.

Answer 7

Absolutely!!!!!!!! Having read all the other responses, I totally agree. I have been State Licensed to raise my own herd of deer/elk in captivity for 15 years now. I have witnessed the population problems, the disease problems etc. If we expect to continue to see these magnificent animals around then we must take control of the population. A deer in captivity has been logged to live 23 years. A doe can give birth from age 4 months old till the day she dies. Normal deer births are single, twins and triplets. That's alot of babies for one animal. Although it hard to log how long a doe in the wild can live with all the disasters she faces, she too can produce many babies. 3/4 of the births of deer are female, that's alot more to be bred. Overpopulation produces more bucks, its natures way of producing less wombs to be bred. That could be a big problem.

Answer 8

absolutely. geese are destroying crops and wetlands. a few years ago, the game and fish did away with the bag limit. there are still too many geese and not enough hunters. the farmers are losing out because there is not population control.

similar situation with deer and some diseases. i'm not sure if most folks know that deer don't live that long in the wild. it's a pretty rough world for wild animals. the fact that there are too many competing for too few resources only makes it worse. population control is a good thing. tasty table fare also.

Answer 9

Okay, who let the fuzzy bunny loving PETA sissy in? Animals are food, that is why they are here. Go have yourself a salad, visit the petting zoo, and save your question for a forum, where people share your tree hugging beliefs.

Answer 10

Sure - especially if there is a severe overpopulation of an aminal such as deer.
