is any body against deer huntin?

Answer 1

I am opposed to killing just for the sport of killing. If there is a legitimate reason like eating venison, I say, that is OK as long as the meat is not wasted and eaten. However, too many people like to kill animals for the thrill of the hunt. This is wrong. I don't enjoy seeing beautiful animals wiped out for a guy who likes to hunt because he thinks this is the "manly "thing to do. I also do not want to see animals suffer inhumane deaths. Sometimes, because of overpopulation, it is necessary to allow a certain amount of hunting because of the threat of starvation. At times like that, I think it should be mandatory to kill the animal as quickly and with the least amount of pain as possible. If caught purposely making an animal suffer needlessly, this person needs to have his hunting license revoked the rest of his or her life.

IN the late 1800's to the early 1900's America stopped relying on hunted meat for subsistence. In Missouri, by 1920, the deer population was starving, horribly diseased and seemed to be on the road to extinction....The Missouri Conservation Dept,. was formed to study and effort a solution. The unpopular idea of managed hunts, proved to be an ideal solution,, Now 85 years later,, Missouri has one of the largest, healthiest deer population in the USA,, many below the poverty level, are able to feed their families, do to the fact, that in some areas of the state,you can take up to 5 deer per year... Even with the management, The high population causes approx. A billion dollars a year in vehicle damage and loss of life.. These are expenses that have to be borne by everyone, not just those who hunt... which brings another point.... Do you know who paid for Missouri's wildlife growth. Not PETA, Not the Humane Society, Not the Sierra Club, or any other left wing group... The hunters themselves saved Missouri Deer from extinction..
So while you piss and moan,,, brag about your right to choose an abortion,,, Missouri hunters acted, and now wildlife is flourishing here.

Have you ever seen a lion or bear make a kill? Humans do it a lot cleaner.

Answer 3

I buy no store bought meat. I eat every thing I hunt. I live in New Jersey. They are everywhere. We the human race has managed to kill every predator here, because we did not want it eating us. now it is funny to sit in a diner and listen to the people complain about the deer eating their fancy shrubs and garden, an all I can think is you moved out here from the city, torn down their home plopped your there and you are complaining. What do you want them to eat? You are the dummy that paid a fortune for a landscaper to plant an all you can eat buffet for the deer. If they were not hunted they would stave to death, this is why the division of fish game and wild place a limit on how many you can take, this way they are not wiped out as the predators where. In addition if they where not hunted and starved sickness would set in and we would lose them all, it was a natural balance before we showed up and took over.

Answer 4

i aint against deer hunting at all. first off, if they werent hunted, there would be way too many deer and it would be over-populated. and then, there wouldnt be enough food for the deer to eat. then, they would starve slowly instead of dying quickly. there's a lot of people who die from hittin a deer with their car, and there would be a ton more if there was no hunting. also, its usually the bucks that get killed, and not the does or fawns. so, for all you vegetarians out there, think about this

Answer 5

Hunting is an effective method for managing deer. Excessive numbers of deer can negatively impact a healthly ecosystem through over-browsing. Too many deer can denude a forest of many plant species and can alter the forest structure. In turn, this can negatively affect other wildlife and plant species.

Other methods of deer management (e.g. sterilization, relocation) are not as effective or practical as hunting. Sterilizing deer is only useful for one generation and it is very expensive and labor intensive. Relocating deer simply shifts the issue to another area and introduces new problems, such as the spread of disease like chronic wasting.

In addition, deer hunting provides much needed funds to wildlife conservation programs through licensing fees. As it is, wildlife programs are severely under-funded and under-staffed. All wildlife (not just deer) benefit from wildlife conservation programs because it protects land from development.

In the U.S., no species have gone extinct from regulated harvesting. The biggest problems facing wildlife are not hunting, but loss of land due to suburban/urban development and agriculture. The U.S. is particularly bad for consuming more land and water than is necessary.

Answer 6

No, blast away.
We have an average of three deer killed on our roads each month, the people hitting them don't fare a whole lot better. While driving for 45 minutes you can easily count 5 deer. I think they might be over populated but surely first we need to do a million dollar survey and then another million bucks to figure out how to control them. We've pushed out most of their natural predators, figure it out.

Answer 7

I think if people hunt deer because they want to eat the deer meat, there's nothing wrong with it. I don't understand those who want to go out and hunt deer then not use the meat. That's kinda pointless to me.

I'm not a big fan of deer as a dish, personally, but I do have family members who hunt and eat deer.

Answer 8

I AM AGAINST IT-thier are some great answers here like from the person that said lets give the deers a gun .and like the other one said, people are over populad .not the deers .People dont need to hunt we have this thing call STORES that have food in them .

Answer 9

While I wouldn't kill one myself,I can't be a hypocrite because I eat meat.But I think anyone who hunts should try and kill the animal with the first shot(bow-hunting is extremely cruel);this means a lot of target practice and hunter-safety classes.If the animal is wounded,then the hunter must be willing to track it so it can be put out of it's misery.Trophy hunting,hunting for fun,"varmint"hunting,treeing animals with dogs,and trapping;I think all of these "sports" are wrong and should be outlawed.You should only kill an animal if you're going to eat it,or to put it out of it's misery.

Answer 10

Absolutely against it! Lets give the deer rifles and teach them how to shoot. Then lets see how much "sport" there is in deer hunting.
