It's called hunting. It isn't really a sport. If someone is going to kill a mammal just to satisfy their sick little blood thirst it couldn't be more wrong. Everyone has a little different opinion. I believe one should be ethical in all he/she does to be conservation minded. Making a clean kill and not wasting the animal is the only way it should ever be done.

I don't think it is morally wrong. Just kind of pathetic. The way most hunters go armed they may as well be shooting a stray cat in their backyard. How does anyone feel like a man after killing bambi with rifle from long range. Use a bow. Or if you really want a challege how about a knife?
Sorry for the rant, I guess my point is, if you are hunting for food use whatever you need. Don't go out with a gun and say it is sport.

"Hunters" must have a different "moral compass," if they have any at all, but to kill ANYTHING for sport is just plain mean & immature. "Sport" is recreation, a passtime that suggests competitive activity in a group, (such as baseball), or can be individual as in playing golf. What is competitive about a person (armed, of course), hunting down a defenseless deer & killing it for the "sport" of it? Even "sportive" refers to games, playfulness. I have no regrets when I hear of hunters accidentally shooting each other. This is one moral standard that is NOT subjective, or can be defined as "a matter of opinion." (You did say FOR SPORT!)

In my particular religion, no. We got a rule against that. However if you kill a deer for the purpose of sport AND food, that's a different story.

A guy spents 3 thousand dollars on equipment to kill an animal whos brain is the size of a orange. Is that a sport?

Morality is a question for the individual, so the answers you get cannot be anything more than opinions. I would not ever hunt for sport because I do consider it morally wrong. However, I will not chastise anyone who believes differently on this matter than I do.

I can not understand the sport of it. You are killing a defensless animal with a gun. Maybe you should at least be man enough about it and go hand to hand.
Why kill the deer, shoot it with a camera if you have to.

Yes if you implant the deer with rocket launchers and thermal scope otherwise nope.

Not for sport. Killing anything for sport is morbid in my mind. Food is one thing, it's going to good use. To kill something for the purpose of mounting its head on the wall is disgusting.
