Some people believe Hunting is in general murder or unethical killing of harmless animals. I am not one to say some types of so called hunting can be inhumane or unethical. But I stand firm in believing that Hunting does in turn help our society.
These two arguments state both sides sufficiently
"Hunting opponents also find hunting unethical on a number of grounds. From a pure animal rights standpoint, killing any animal for food is morally objectionable, whether that animal is a deer, a cow or a chicken. Many find hunting to be unethical because the killing is recreational. Also, many argue that human/deer conflicts are not the fault of the deer, but are the fault of humans who take habitat from the deer. Some hunting opponents also believe that modern technology has erased any chance of fairness in hunting."
"Regarding ethics, hunting proponents argue that killing a deer for food cannot be worse than killing a cow or a chicken. Furthermore, unlike the cow or the chicken, the deer lived a free and wild life before being killed and had a chance to escape. Hunters also argue that killing a number of deer benefits the ecosystem as a whole. Some hunters also oppose certain practices they consider unethical, such as baiting, canned hunting, trophy hunting, and hunting of stocked animals. "

ReplyDeleteI like your blog. I myslef never understand why people think hunting is unethical because it takes care of animal populations that are creeping into residential areas. Also to all the PEDA or animal activats, why is it that they consider it inhumane because if we didnt have stores or anything the only way to eat would be to hunt and kill for your food. Good blog.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you brought this subject up. Much hunting is needed for the preservation of land and the environment and regulation of overpopulation. Good post!
