Hunting foxes or other animals for sport and not food are you for it agianst it or neutral?

Answer 1

opinion?

DIE, DIE, DIE, YOU damn dirty foxes!!!!

Oh wait a sec, those were apes.....

Answer 2

Depends....Foxes for example here in my area we don't have very many so I would be against it....there is no need...however if there were area of very high populations that needed some control I would say OK.....Coyotes here are pretty abundant...they are not good for much but sport...and they need some population control...so go for it....it is up to the game and parks to decide weather hunting should be allowed....and hunting can be an advantage to some species....it keeps the population at a level that will allow all the animals have plenty of food and space....like deer right know....we have way to many here...hunting is what keeps the balance....sometimes it is needed, even on animals you would not think of eating like crows or coyotes....

Answer 3

Well in this case, fox is a fur-bearer. They have very nice fur which can be used as a rug, coat or other various reasons. Hunting fox for meat, personally I couldn't eat a fox, or a coyote. They are still dogs. Would you?

On the other hand, if predators IE: fox, coyotes, raccoons etc etc, are left uncontrolled. They can very easily decimate small game populations. Alot of people are against hunting but it there were no control, there would be a major decline in alot of animal species. In years past there was ALOT of open space for all animals to live, but increased housing is destroying alot of habitat.

Hunters pay for the preservation of habitat with license fees.

Answer 4

First let me explain people have upset the balance of nature by removing the big predators and there is nothing to keep the smaller predators in check and coyotes, foxes minks, skunk, raccoons and weasel can really hurt populations of prey species like forest grouse ,quail, ducks and geese there are small mammals that are affected to like squirrels and rabbits the predators well eventually starve to death or be poisoned by Fish & Game or the Department Wildlife Services who are trying to artificially control the population I think a bullet and a quick death are more humane than poison or starvation now that being said I personally won’t hunt some thing I don’t intend on eating but can see why it is necessary.

Answer 5

where i live we hunt fox and racoon for just the fun of hearing the dogs and seeing if we can get glimps of them in tree oe runing across our trail in front of dogs . i dont like any hunting where animal is killed by any means for trophy alone . my motto is eat it or leave it . object of hunting to a real hunter is harvesting animal and following laws and regulations and enjoying their flesh as food with family members otherwise just let them go and anything else is just wrong and not why God made these animals . we give our game a fighting chance otherwise its not sporting and some do get away this should be part of the hunt to fail and try again . sometimes while hunting an animal steps in front of my gun and kill is pretty easy but something inside says this one isnt for killing so i just observe it and let it live another day and wait for the next one , this is also part of a real hunter to sometimes just watch nature and hold back the hatvest untill it feels right .

Answer 6

you have to look at all of the factors of the hunt in order to form a proper opinion on it.
if the area has been overrun with a certain animal then some of them should be taken out in order to preserve other species of animals in the area. but this is the only ehtical reason for sport hunting, but then if thats the case then sport is not the full reason for hunting. hunting completely for sport is wrong. hunting should only be done for food or conservation purposes.

Answer 7

Ok, first off you CAN donate the meat. When deer and moose are hit with cars here in Maine, the meat is donated to the local food pantries, where many people are grateful for it. Personally, I love moose and deer meat, and it's the best free range meat, along with being free. These animals would be overpopulating areas if there numbers aren't controlled. Why make them suffer because you don't want to hunt? And you WILL make them suffer from starvation because there isn't enough habitat to let them all survive. Survival of the fittest in these dwindling habitats means starvation, and if we didn't control the numbers, they would surely be much worse off. Anything I hunt, I eat (deer, moose, duck and grouse). Personally I feel it's my right (with assistance from the 2nd amendment) to put food on my table by hunting.

On hunting varmits that can be pests, I beleive there are more pros than cons. Getting rid of squirrels, fox, coyotes, I'm for it. Coyotes are the reason for the dwindling deer population. they feed upon the fawns and yearlings, hindering the growth of the species. Get rid of them.

Answer 8

For it, if no one was hunting animals there would be too many of that species and too much competition for them to all survive in the same habitat. Eventually they would die naturally anyways so why not keep the population stable and benefit humans at the same time. Plus you get some really good food while youre enjoying such a relaxing n enjoyable sport its also hunters law that if you cant kill, it dont shoot @ it most humane hunters try their best to stick to it but then again everyone makes mistakes.

Answer 9

For if its getting into the chickens. Harvesting for just their pelts is a viable reason as well, though I happen to not to that. If the area has a population problem and its harming other wildlife, hunting is a means to keep other animals from dying off.

Answer 10

coyotes foxes racoons not very tasty but if population not controlled through hunting and trapping efforts would cause problems spreading disease through out population and would lead to livestock being killed and foxes put a damper on bird populations such as grouse. other scavenger animals eat carcasses left by fur hunters such as our nations pride and joy the bald eagle. got beautiful pictures of three bald eagles 15 yds out of my back window eating 2 racoon carcasses i left for them. i disagree with just yak'n though deer are quite tasty and in my area venison is accepted very eagerly by food shelves as long as it is processed by government inspected meat lockers or processors.

Answer 11

I'm for shooting crows, coyotes etc..not foxes.

I have coyote problems on my farm and the laws say's you may kill them 24-7-365

I'm not or killing any other animals just for the fun of it...I'm not for killing any animals for the fun..there must be purpose.

I do take 1-2 deer each year..I feed that to my dogs...deer meat is not very good...plus the deer to damage to crops every year and there are too many of them and they starve during the winter Month's
