Just wondering, in response to a post in the hunting section if hunting should be illegal.

I Really like alot of the answers posted on this topic. most of what i read is that people need to respect what others believe in, and give that that free choice. that we should incourage people to have free thought, and also not try to "Push" our views onto other people.
this is a free country still, right?

As a flexitarian vegetarian I think that the fanatgical vegetarianism and veganism displayed on this forum should be considered a mental disorder and included in the next revision of the the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

None of those things should be illegal. Some people don't understand that a certain amount of land can only support a certain amount of critters-conservation departments monitor this closely and issue hunting permits accordingly. If the game is not taken by hunters the animals will likely starve or die of disease.
But some are intolerant of other people's ignorance and seek to criticize a dietary choice that causes no harm to anyone, except perhaps the vgetarian/vegan if they eat unwisely-then they may starve or die of disease : )

I think the vegetable counterpart of hunting would foraging for your food in the forest, which by the way may be illegal where you live! some places don't allow you to retrieve animal, mineral or vegetable from national parks.

hunting and vegetarianism or veganism are comparable in no way. it is my choice to eat how i wish, im not hurting anyone. it is not an animals choice to be chased down with a quad and blasted with a shot gun. hunting is unfair because it is not like one animal killing another...does a cougar carry ammo?? its pretty much going into someone elses house and blowing them away. its not enough that urban sprawl is forcing them into smaller and smaller corridors, but we have to seek them out in their own domain?? what kind of a pass time is that, hunters need to get a life and do something productive instead of "killing things" for fun.

NO
we have rights..and the govt has tried to tell us what is "right"
they make laws telling us what is right or wrong!
for example ganja is wrong because the govt says so! BUT DRINKING is fine..so ppl believe that its ok because its legal! when its worse than smoking..stupid govt...drinking kills so many ppl!
They Say its right to eat meat! AND SO they MUst think its right to BE SOO CRUEL TO ANIMALS!
They dont care about this earth ..all they care about is THEM AND THEIR POWER
ITs not right for them to tell us what is right or wrong! they HAVE NO RIGHT!
grrrrrr govt!!!!
so the answer to that question is veggie and vegans should be legal!
but i wouldnt be surprised if they were to try to make a stupid law agianst it..they have so many already

its matter of a diet choice. Lot of Asian people are vegetarian yet they are intelligent. Lot of people eat meat so others have food to eat as well. I'm a semi vegetarian so i know. I don't think neither one is a wrong choice. But there is one thing though.....people who eat mostly meat are overweight than their counterpart.

If Vegetarianism is illegal then Quarter Indians are committing crime! :) in Hinduism in 2 main sects of society we are not allowed to touch Meat! thats like sin for us. In India there are like 100's of generation who haven't touched meat all their life.

If we are to ban vegetarianism nad Veganism , you might as well condemn a quarter of the earth's population to death.
And the lady who says that vegetarians may die of undernourishment and disease needs to have her head examined.

And while we are at it lets just take away the first amendment. Better yet lets become a communist nation and let the governement control every aspect of our lives. If it offends you that others have morals that is your problem and no one elses.
