Sure. I love hunting. I do it all the time. Like last week, when I went hunting with my shotgun in my local national park.
We eat what we kill, unless its a skunk . But I hunt mainly pheasants right now, and deer whenever season starts here. But I hunted turkey last year (and got nothing). But it's a lot of fun when you get something. And hunting isn't all guns, there's bow hunting too, if you wanna give it a fair chance. And it's not like I don't give the animal a fighting chance to escape, I never shoot them on the ground (except for one case, but that's an exception), I get them in the air so I have to shoot and hope I hit him. I think it's the same case, we're animals who need food too
I hunt elk every year but not going this year can't get any time off work. I love it don't get one every year but when you do then you will respect the animal and nature more than you silly humans in your giant concrete citys eating at your processd fast food joints and your supper markets. I wonder how many animals die to got to a market to only end up in the trash? My one elk a year will be about a years worth of meat and every bite I take I think about that elk and how much work it was to get it home and that something a lot of people will never understand.
Exactly. I hate it when the city slickers complain about hunting and say that all hunting is evil and cruel, yet they don't understand where the food they eat comes from and how animals have been caged up all their life.
Maybe. But still, many people living in cities have no idea how things operate in the country. People who eat the processed crap and battery chickens/eggs etc, they think that hunting is barbaric and cruel, yet they are eating food where the animals have suffered much more than they would have if they'd been shot in the wild. And it's not so bad in the UK, luckily a lot of our food is free range/organic, but it's worse in other countries. Also this article shows just how ignorant some people in the UK can be when it comes to food. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6734275.stm
I do eat and enjoy meat. But I don't want to be the one responsible for the killing of the animal. If I had the choice to shoot every animal I eat, or be vegetarian, then I would be a vegetarian. Even though I know it is contradictory to think this way, I try and reason with myself. For example, it's like when you buy a computer, or more topically, an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. We all know of the harsh working conditions of people living in Asia, China etc making these devices. It may be so that they are treated badly, especially compared to America or the UK. Go here: http://labornotes.org/blogs/2010/06/suicides-apple-factory-china-rock-sweatshop-supply-system. It gives a good enough explanation of the conditions in the factory. However, does the fact that you bought an iPhone, iPod or iPad mean that you agree with these conditions, and suicides linked with them? Would you yourself volunteer to work in one of these factories because it is Ok for this to be happening? This then relates back to the hunting business. Even though I endorse the product, I don't necessarily agree with the way that it is manufactured.
Well your analogy is a little off if your still talking about hunting. It should be more like if you had the know how and materials would you build an iPhone yourself in your basement? I would, hunting elements the very conditions you disagree with.
Not necessarily. If I had hunting my way then animals would be treated well (not in battery farms) and then be killed instantly so that they couldn't have possibly suffered in the process. But unfortunately that is not the case, and unfortunately for you, you haven't been given the materials and the know how to create your own iPhone.
