It may not seem fair that people hunt for sport however consider this, If it were not for hunters and their 'sport' many of the game refuges which exist in this country would have long ago been converted to housing, farmland, commercial or industrial uses. In essence the only reason why there are wild animals in some places is because some people go out and hunt them, this is especially true of wetlands and waterfowl. If there were no hunters (many of whom by the way have been staunch conservationists) then the marshes that various waterfowl (not to mention many other animals which aren't hunted) use would long ago have been drained, diked and turned to other uses.

My grandfather was a hunter, in Europe. He shot many boar, deer, ducks, rabbits and other game. Some of them he brought home where my grandmother cooked them up. The majority of the meat he donated to orphanages and churches to help feed poor and disadvantaged people who couldn't afford to go to a store and but meat.

I'm guessing that you like the majority of Americans, live somewhere in a suburb totally cut-off from nature. A hunter is someone who goes out into nature and apreciate its. True he/she also kills occasional animals. However that is just the reality of the world. All animals that are born are eventually killed by something, be it predators, diseases or simply old age, and then serve as food for something else.

Try to look outside your constricted little suburban viewpoint and see the world for what it really is, a cyclical existence where life and death are intrinsically connected and inseparable.

I'm a vegetarian and my husband doesn't hunt, but I don't have a problem with people who abide by the law and use skills like tracking and familiarity with species to succeed rather than spending money on high tech gadgets, which amounts to cheating. There is a season established, and rules, and the bottom line is that fees from hunting licenses do a lot of good for wildlife, overall.

It's not a simple question, and I ache to think of the animals that suffer when an arrow or bullet wounds but doesn't kill. But I'm not going to lump conscientious hunters with those who just enjoy toting a gun and killing for killings sake, the kind who pay through the nose to hunt on private property because the deck is stacked. The latter isn't fair, it's sick. The former is a choice many good people make throughout the world.

"Just for sport" no, if the animal is 'wasted'; BUT

I have hunted for over 40 years.
I hunt deer, rabbit, etc. My 'other half' hunts duck and goose as well. We cook and eat what we shoot MOST of the time.
Many times, we see, but do not shoot, many animals for various reasons, even if the animal is what we are hunting at the time.

I don't shoot prarie dogs, coyotes, and other varmints etc. UNLESS they bother my livestock, then I 'remove' the threat.

HOWEVER, hunting and/or trapping for the fur is also an accepted practice as old as man.

Kindly note that various 'scavanger' animals usuallly wind up eating whatever is left in the wild that is NOT taken home. They have to eat too!!

Nature is not 'fair' by our CURRENT standards. It never has been fair, if you mean keeping all animals alive.

WE would consider it 'uncivilized' to hunt people, but just what is war if not people 'hunting' people?

Do YOU believe that ants, cockroaches, mosquitos, flies, etc. should ALSO be left alone? They are, after all, animals also.

Totally, in may state of Wisconsin now whit this so called Global Warming, are winter was way to warm so animals are over populatted even after 5,000 deer were killed we still have alot more than last year. Also the Wolve popultaion is way to high because it is a Endangered Animal. Don't forget the damm coyotes are every were. Last year i had so many turkeys cross by my backyard i had to shoot them with a bb gun to make em run (they come in like pack of 50). Rabbits are pritty high well every thing is pretty high. We have to kill em for sport or not who realy cares about animals we kill humans all the time don't we or are you just gonna go with PETA that made a commercial that was against what is teached is school huh!

Not fair to the animals, but that is the way of nature. There are animals that kill other animals and do not eat them. Leopard seals kill Penguins but do not eat them. Naturalists believe they just do it for fun. Nature is cruel and unfair. Accept it.

In self defense ok, if you are really starving and no other source of food then ok too. For anything else not justified.

Animal population causes problem because we humans mess up with the nature else nature has perfect balance mechanisms.

Would we like it if some superior species with good weapons starts coming here to "hunt us" , it may be legal for them but for us its movie material and fight against "evil" isnt it.

No. I don't think we should kill wild animals any more. I used to go hunting - shooting and ferreting for rabbits for food. Now I think all hunting is wrong.

If you are referring to hunting, you are barking up the wrong tree. Hunters are probably the most avid conservationist you are likely to meet, and most generally eat what they kill or donate the meat.

Hunting will be sport when the animals have guns, too.
