Im not a hunter. I love animals I was just asking ya know?

Answer 1

***Note***
I did not judge you for asking the question.
I merely answered it to what I feel is an true and honest answer.

Wisdom is found by he who seeks it out.
And some times you have to see past the confusion to find the answer.

You exercised your right, as I exercised mine.
We wont always see eye to eye.
In many issues that we share in common.

I love animals too, but I too relies that my time in the woods gives me a personal understanding of the situation.
I work on the side as a Nuisance Wildlife Controller for the state of which I reside.
I work right along side with the Game Wardens and State Wildlife Biologist.
Our wildlife habitat is saturated with many species that must be reduced, the sad part is a lot of it is due to society.
With the ever growing human population, our wildlife is being deprived of its habitat.
Land for houses, building supplies and even the food you eat is grown where it was once wildlife habit.
Some farmers share the land with the wildlife and do not complain of the animals feeding on their crops, where others do not tolerate it at all.
We are pushing the wildlife in to a smaller and smaller habitat with the passage of every year.
Trapping is no longer a violable industry, so these species that were once controlled by trapping now are reaching an epidemic proportion that their habitat can not sustain.

Then you need to look at another problem our native wildlife must endure.
The ever growing invading species that were once the pets of man that are no longer wonted and dumped in to the ecosystem.
Cat, dog, snakes and birds are the most abundant of this invading species.
In the Florida everglades they are trying hard to exterminate an invading species of Burmese Python read this insert and the link is attached also if you would like to see it, it’s about half way down the article.

Unwanted Pets
What do you do with a ten-foot-long Burmese when you don't want it anymore? Zoos generally won't take them. Herpetology societies are always trying to find new homes for these big snakes. Veterinarians and animal shelters routinely receive abandoned big snakes.
Worse yet, unwanted snakes are frequently just let go. In 2004, National Geographic News reported that the Florida Everglades "are being overrun with Burmese pythons.... Since the mid-1990s, park rangers have killed or captured 68 Burmese pythons. [They] are popular and legal pet snakes. In the past five years, the U.S. has imported more than 14,000 Burmese pythons. Hatchlings sell for as little as $20. But once the cute little baby snakes turn into 15-foot-long beasts, some owners may decide to get rid of their pets by dumping them in the forest." These and other non-native species have become a major environmental and economic problem in the Everglades and elsewhere.

It is not just snakes but Emus and Ostrich are also being released, and so are pigs.
The English Sparrow started out a pet in early 1800s look at it now.
The unwonted cat and dogs are out of control.
Then you have the other invading species that got here on it’s own, like the armadillo.
While people are releasing their unwonted pets, others are footing the bill to exterminate them.

What most people don’t relies is the hunter is a tool used by the Department of Wildlife to keep the balance in check.
Did you know the very funding of the Department of Wildlife and their Wardens and Wildlife Biologist are funded by the taxes from weapons and ammo and 100% of all license fees go to the support of wildlife management, as in buying more and more native habitat for the wildlife that can never be used for any other reason, it help pay for the wages of our Game Wardens and Wildlife Biologist plus the reintroduction of native species that have disappeared from there known habitat.

I spend a lot of time in the wildlife habitat and see first hand what is going on.
You don’t have to believe what I saw is true.
Just try and secure true evidence to prove me wrong.
You have a PC and the net is at your finger tips.
What you will find is every thing supports what I have said.

Ask your questions and I will answer with what I feel is the truth.

Answer 2

Yes. I can't imagine anyone having more respect or appreciation for wildlife than a hunter. Nobody truly enjoys the outdoors like hunter. It's possible to respect the animal and harvest it at the same time. It's the same way a soldier might respect the enemy across from him or the way a fighter respects his opponent. Hunters aren't cold blooded killers. Most are truly compassionate people towards animals. We're just not over-the-top like animal rights supporters. Why would we want to spend so much time in the outdoors watching the wildlife if we didn't appreciate them? We respect them and appreciate their role as a resource to us. And as D58 said, hunters do their part to support wildlife and environment conservation and preservation. We pay into these organizations and actually spend time going out and helping hands-on. How many animal rights organizations do that? They'd rather just go to farms and read poems to cows because they have "feelings".

Answer 3

Yes I Hunt. I love and respect the animals I hunt. I do not kill animals that I do not plan to consume. I legally harvest the animals. I support All Wildlife management (whether they are hunted by anyone or not) when I pays my wildlife management fees and licenses, and also when I pay sales taxes on ammunition, reloading supplies, firearms, clothing, boots etc.
I earnastly feel that if you can harvest an animal without emotion, without feeling anything for the life you just took, then you SHOULD NOT be hunting anything. I believe it is the ultimate disrespect to one of GOD's creatures (that he put here for us to use wisely) to look upon it as only a set of HORNS or merely meat for the freezer.

Answer 4

I'm a hunter, but I don't "hate" animals. That's not the reason we hunt. I love animals, too. But, we are the top of the food chain. We hunt, not just for food (venison is very healthy - healthier than most meat you buy in the store), but to maintain the animal population. Animals eat each other, "alive". To shoot an animal, to me is a lot more humane than letting other animals kill it. But, that is nature! Nature is cruel.
