RE; PETA Peta Peta Peta Answer this question for me please?

Question

Ok I got some pretty dumb answers last time so I will ask again.

But first let me tell you, I do not support in any way hunting or fishing as a sport. I hunt/fish for food as a way of life. I am an ethical hunter.

Deer hunting does not!!!! Pomote taking of males which will increase poulation. Actuall we are allowed to take only one male deer per year, but we are allowed 3 females. This is a common misconception that hunters only want males with big racks.

The hunters who are not ethical are usually form cities, the same place people from PETA are from. City people have no idea what happens in the wilderness. The videos they show are the worst out of millions of hours of hunting videos, they do not represent the majority of hunters. This is nothing more than a scare tactic. City people will never understand the wild because what the info they get is from other city people.
Come out and hike the entire length of the womble trail with me for a month, then lets talk!!

PETA if you can give a answer this question then I will take you seriously.


1. If "total animal liberation" is achieved, what has PETA planned to protect the animals and ultimately natural in general.

I actually live in the woods and I know what happens when animals over populate.
For example, state parks are preservation areas that do not allow killing of wildlife. In these areas the deer population grows without boundries. In time all vegetation and foliage for the deer will be depleated and animals will begin a long process of death. The deer will begin to starve, but he will not die because he still has water. Over a period of weeks the animal will slowly dry up until it can continue no more.

Disease is also a major problem in over populated areas. Chronic Wasting Disease is dreadful that does what its name states.

This problem with liberation for animals is just one of few. This same scenario plays out with almost any animal or fish

I would like to add that controled hunts in the protected areas do resolve the problems. Archery hunting pros are called in to cull the herd. The meat is not kept by the archers but is butchered and given to low income familys.

I am just saying that hunting is part of nature. Outlaw hunting/fishing and that will set off a chain reaction of death. Dont you people believe in evolution and that man has been hunting animals for thousands of years??

Everyone knows that it is stupid to beat animals, real hunters make quick kills so that the animal does not suffer.

Peta has posted HUGE billboards around our lakes that show a dog with a fish hook in its mouth. And asks "would you do this to your pet" and NO I most certainly would not.
They are offensive and they have no idea about the animals or the wilderness thay are trying to "protect".
All while I sit here trying to explain to my 6 year old why there is a picture of a dog with a fishook in its mouth.

That would be like pres. Bush putting up a billbord of a terrorist shooting at us. It is by far the worst scare tactic that I have seen.

Do you even know anything that you have not seen in a book, or on the internet. Have you ever went out and lived off of the land for weeks at a time?

How about I come into your city and try to ban your eco cars. Ibe tyou would love it if some Hillybilly came into YOUR city and told you how to live your life. How bout I come into your cities and put up signs of hungry low income families skinning a deer??

How would you feel then peta??

Vegan made some good points but many of the animals named are far from being endangered by hunters. Cottontail rabbits abound here in Arkansas as well as Black bear.

AGAIN!! Hunting is recreation to some dorks but most hunters do actually use the meat and respect the animal for that.

I often wonder what our long lost reletives would say. Most likely something along the lines of........none of you would even be here if not for hunting.

Obviously none of you animal rights activists have had a near death experiance. I have had several from falling off a mountain, being crushed by a crystal mine and almost being a black bears late night snack.. When serious pain is present the mind blocks the pain so that there is no pain. This is due to adrenaline. Trust me, then animals my be surprised but adrenaline does not let them feel pain. All animals incuding humans have this programmed response in their brains. If you have been near death then you will know what I am talking about!

I, as well as my friends eat wild game 3 times a week year round. And if you know how to do it right then it wont cost you $40 frikkin dollars per pound. In the last 3 days I have obtained 75 Crappie, that is 150 fillets.
I personally deliver game not only to the family present in my home but also to others who need it. I do this both for trade and charity.

Folks hunting does control population. Come here to arkansas and I 'll show you areas open to hunting and protected areas where there are herds with hundreds of skinny weakling deer.

So basically you agree that hunting makes for a healthy population of deer, thanks for that. Because it does : )

Natural preditors have been re-populated, and in many cases they are thriving. I personally wont hunt any animal that I wont eat. I do agree that mountain lions, wolves and other animals that are not eaten should not be harvested!!

I do on occasion harvest a Black Bear, as there are now plenty in the state. I do eat them

Answer 1

I completely agree with you.
PETA people are directionless lot that often do more harm than good.
Much of their policy has no basis in fact. Just a lot of emotional insanity that contradicts itself and makes them look like idiots.

Responsible hunting has been going on since people evolved thumbs. Hunted animals have evolved to be hunted. If they aren't, they take over!
Right now in the USA deer kill more people than Moutain Lions, all species of bears and sharks COMBINED!!!
Don't feel sorry for Bambi. They do just fine. Really!

Answer 2

Animals should be treated with respect, which is something PETA does not do when they put them to sleep and throw their dead bodies behind garbage bins, after promising their former owners that they are going to good homes. They're hypocrites.
I am a real animal lover, and will spend whatever it takes to care for my pets, so those hypocrites better not lecture me.
As for hunting, a lot of people let other people hunt for them, nad then criticise those who kill their own food. If you eat meat, then you are silly to be criticising someone who at least kills the food themselves. I am a vegetarian, but my cat eats meat (I think people who force thier dogs and cats to be vegetarians should face animal cruelty charges, those poor animals shouldn't be starved over their owners lack of intelligence, or their desire to play god).

Answer 3

1. I am not a member of PETA, so I can't comment regarding their perspectives/viewpoints. I will say, however, that MPO is that a lot of PETA hype is about misdirected feelings/emotions and thoughts...aka, psychological projection.

2. Native Americans lived from the land, and Native Americans had respect for the animals that they lived with and hunted. I see your point, but I also see you that you are 'projecting'. Who are you really speaking to and what would you like to honestly say?

The hyped-up animal lovers are the same people who probably haven't spent a minute of their time in real, unadultered nature. At the same time, you have families who are building new houses, in virgin land, which is displacing thousands and thousands of animals from their natural habitats (and the houses could house 10-15 people, instead of just 4-5). What I would like to see, personally, is educated and informed discussions about how "competing with the Johnsons" has led to the current environmental problems that we now face as a nation. And it's true, the people who have actual contact with wildlife, have more respect for animals than the people who order chicken from KFC or a fish filet from Long John Silvers. I think that it goes without needing much explanation, that it's easier to kill an Arab during a presidentially declared war, than to go outside and kill your neighbor. We tend to have more reservations about killing and/or consuming those people/animals that we have closer contact with.

Answer 4

I'm a real animal lover and If it wasn't for PETA a lot of animals would be suffering terrible tortures etc.I agree there is a time and a place for hunting as long as it's done humanely (and quickly). I hate seeing on tv, in the asian countries especially, where they kill an animal slowly as a form of sacrifice or to make their meat taste better. Why is it that humans think they have the right to do this?
Animals are far more smarter than we give them credit for!

Answer 5

Well everyone knows the therory of evolution:
The strongest survive and reproduce, which eventually turns into evolution.

However Cristians believe that god created everything.
He also placed animals on the earth to be subserviant to Adam.

Which ever way you look at it PETA is wrong.

Answer 6

“Putting food on the table” and “population control” are used to justify killing and injuring innocent animals. Yet a Maryland study shows that when the costs of hunting (e.g., license fees, equipment, food, lodging and transportation) are considered, a pound of venison costs about $24.

The assertion that hunting is about population control invariably boils down to elk and white-tailed deer. The overpopulation issue deserves a great deal of time and attention.

Aniamls threatened by hunting
Although by no means complete, this list includes black bears, antelope, moose, pheasants, cottontail rabbits, snowshoe hares, quail, blue grouse, mountain sharp-tailed grouse, sage grouse, Abert’s squirrels, fox and pine squirrels, prairie rattlesnakes, snapping turtles, beavers, badgers, bobcats, coyotes and the biologically threatened white-tailed, Gunnison’s and black-tailed prairie dogs. Hunters even kill mountain lions. The Colorado legislature tried again in the 2002–03 to increase the number of mountain lion kill licenses without having any reliable data to justify that move. Additionally, the legislature tried to reinstate the spring bear hunt, which guarantees that bear cubs will starve in their dens. The Colorado ban on the spring bear hunt was put into place in 1992 by citizens after the Colorado Wildlife Commission refused to do so.

Hunting isn’t about population control and it isn’t about putting food on the table. It’s about recreation and the recreation dollar. Hunters have contest hunting for trophies in which prizes are awarded for the most or largest animals killed. Our society condones going into animals’ homes—the only place their families and social groups could be free and safe—to hunt and kill them.

When deer are removed through hunting, competition is reduced for food and habitat, and the remaining deer actually reproduce at a higher rate as a physiological response to their nutritional condition, meaning that hunted deer populations actually increase in size.
Hunters prefer to shoot bucks for their “trophy” antlers, but one buck impregnates multiple does. If population control were truly the goal of hunting, only does should be taken to minimize births.
Hunters like to say that hunting is necessary because left unmanaged the herd would increase to a point where the deer would starve to death. Unlike wild predators such as coyote, hunters do not target the sick or the weak, which are the animals most likely to face starvation or freezing during a harsh winter.

For every animal killed by a hunter, two are seriously injured and left to die a slow death. Given these statistics, it is clear that hunting fails even in its proclaimed goal--the reduction of suffering.

I think if you have this much to discuss with PETA then you should contact them directly.

That's probably why you got dumb answers last time. This is not PETA, it's Yahoo Answers.

On the left side of the page under Resources. I'm sure they'll be happy to answer you and attempt to recruit you.

Answer 8

What is the question? I saw a lot of exclamations but no question marks. Go about your life and do your own thing. Attack PETA, not yahoo answers.

Answer 9

Animals are there for a purpose:to be used for food and clothes. They feel pain,so they must be treated humanely,without having them suffer. We must not hurt them,torture them or kill them for fun. An animal that has no purpose for us and is no threat to us,should be left in peace. An animal that is edible may be humanely slaughtered and then eaten,and used for clothing,fertilizer,chemicals,etc. to our benefit. That is the way way nature intended it to be.
