Is hunting wrong???

Answer 1

Not unless you kill wild game just for the fun of it and leave them in the woods.

Answer 2

No! Allowing animals to overpopulate an area and then starve to death when winter comes IS WRONG. Losses from starvation always exceed the potential losses from hunting if it had been allowed. Hunting is one way of controlling the population of a herd. Allowing the public to do the hunting is not only a better way of doing it, it also is far more economical. The hunting public pays money for hunting licenses and part of this fee goes to providing habitat for the animals. The hunter also pays an extra tax on his guns and ammo which goes to benefit wildlife. If the public didn't do the hunting, the state, county or whomever would have to hire and pay the salary for extra state biologists to harvest the game. They would have to do this with a reduced income from the loss of sales of hunting licenses, guns and ammo. So, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that public hunting is a good thing. In every instance, of which I am aware, when methods other than hunting were tried to help an overpopulated herd, they failed miserably and the heard suffered with very high mortality losses from starvation. Nope, anyway you look at it, except through Bambi goggles, hunting actually benefits wildlife.

Answer 3

No hunting is not wrong! I dont care what anyone says. Im a 17yr old girl who lives in Lodi, I havent been hunting very long but I dont think it is wrong. Hunting controls animal population, the money from hunting/fishing licenses, tags, shells, and so much more actually goes to the animals!!! Also hunters are mainly the ones who cares about the animals, and not just because without them we cant hunt anymore, but we are the ones who help waterfowl organizations and other organizations to preserve land, from everyone trying to buil homes and malls and everything else, so the animals have a place to live. There are also rules, seasons, and limits on what you hunt for to keep them around. If people dont foloow those rules then they are poaching (illegal hunting) and not hunting.

Answer 4

Hunting has been around as long as humans have been (even longer).

It is very natural and there is nothing wrong about it. When an animal is killed, the entire animal should be used so that it does not go to waste. The meat is much healthier than what you will find in the store also. Think about the other meat you eat, all of those animals were raised just to be over fed, and then killed. Not a very good life for most of the animals we eat. Hunted animals at least get to live their life as they were intended to live it. All animals hunt, and humans are no different!

Answer 5

No it's part of life. Although the way humans hunt may be unnatural to nature, it still doesn't make it wrong. All predators animals were given a natural gift for hunting (example clues, teeth for eating meat and hunting instinct). The only thing that separates humans from other predator animals in hunting is that we use foreign objects to kill are pray.
There is no difference between hunting for your meat or farming it, in the long run a animal will die so you can live. One day you will die and you will be food for insects or what ever, this is the life proses. Like it or not

Answer 6

If it's wrong, then I don't want to be right baby. Nikki, you make me laugh. Maybe we should just hunt the predators because they also kill innocent animals? Or, is that just nature at work? Duh, so is my hunting, killing, and eating (the best part) little Bambi, because, as nature defines, I'm a predator as well. A predator does what it has to do to survive, and yes, to some very poor people, hunting is their only means of survival. I would not be on this earth if my father did not hunt year round to support my family and put enough food on the table. Is it wrong? Hardly, it's part of survival.

Oh yeah, hunting on those private preserves where the animal is basically tied down for you to shoot and you don't eat the meat, just show off the trophy......well, that isn't even hunting, thats just killing.

Answer 7

Generally no. For instance, in some parts of the U.S., probably more deer freeze to death during winter than die from deer hunting which also happens in winter. The money used for hunting is used to promote widlife. In places where hunting has gone down, so has the money used to keep the level of game above a natural level.

Answer 8

There is nothing wrong with responsible hunting, but there is a very fine line between responsible and irresponsible hunting.

Answer 9

Everything we eat, dies! Even plants and bacteria, so hunting for food is not different than going to the grocery store and buying a package of meat. The animal in that package was once alive. Hunters a least don't entirely conform to most people's way of life because instead of being lazy and going to a grocery store, they actually go out and get it themselves. I don't hunt myself, but the many people I know that do, enjoy the experience and the reward. There are some people who just kill for the fun of it. (I think the minority) and those people are idiots.

Answer 10

Gigi, hunting is the natural order of things. All things hunt. Man is a hunter/gatherer. Wolves hunt. Bears hunt. Big cats hunt. Your domesticated tabby cat hunts. Even lambs hunt for greener pastures. So why do you ask if hunting is wrong???

Best.

Answer 11

bottom line is that anyone that thinks hunting is wrong is an idiot. without hunting you would have overpopulated animals that are dying of disease. you should be happy that we're at the top of the food chain. how would you rather die? being starved and sick for a year or with one clean shot? and besides hunters and fishers save more habitat and land for the animals and wildlife than anything out there, without us there would be some land that some hippie tried to save, but other than that it would just be bought up and trashed.
