Poll: When is Hunting Acceptable?

[crimson5pheonix]

Hunting ducks is just so much fun!

 

[RatRace123]

I say as long as your not hunting an endangered species, go wild, kill entire forests, for food, for sport, whatever

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

It's tasty and fun! As long as it's legal, I have no problem with it.

 

[TaboriHK]

I went hunting very recently. I don't see anything wrong with it and in fact, it can be a very good social outlet for certain personality types that are otherwise anti-social.

 

[Death God]

If it is for food and to help lower the population when it has gotten too big to sustain itself any longer, it is alright. But just the general killing, no.

 

[The Lost Big Boss]

Where I live we need hunters. I remember that 15 or years ago we "as in the area" restricted the hunt for deer. Couple years later they were way over populated and they started dieing out from starvation and disease.
I think people need to remember that we need to make up for all the predators we are taking out by housing. Where I live we have lots of deer, but the coyotes are losing their homes from all the woods being torn down, so ah hunting we must go.

It depends on how abundant the creature is or how hungry the people are. If they are over populating an area it can actually be helpful.

I hate when the government allows whale hunts in the name of tradition. Let's be realistic here, people have other better food sources and whales are endangered(Do they really think that's what there ancestors would have wanted?).

If you're doing to it survive, then it's all right. That's the way the animal kingdom works.

 

[Morti]

I'm pro-hunting, but not the typical "hunting" that causes controversy here in the UK (drunk, posh twats on horses setting a pack of dogs on a lone fox), that's just needlessly cruel. In general though, when it's for:

Food: Fine, go for it, but make it a quick kill and you'd better use as much of the animal as physically possible.

Sport: Fine, but it's not sport if there's no challenge. Put that gun down, grab a knife and get stalking.

Well I have some friends who enjoy hunting for sport. Personally, I only agree with it if it is for food that you need. But hey, I know the World doesn't really work like that and doesn't agree with my view point all the time. To be honest though, hunting deeply upsets me when I take part in it.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

It's always acceptable in my book, except when they hunt the wrong animals, and there are only a few animals on that list.

 

[dementis]

I'm all for hunting so long as you don't do it like the british. I fail to see how fifty guys on horses and thirty something dogs vs. one fox is fair game. If you wanna be a real man, you'll hunt with nothing but a bow and arrow. Good stuff right there.

1. It's the English that hunt that way.
2. Only the upper class people do that, not the whole hunting community.

 

[mobsterlobster]

I'd feel really guilty inflicting pain on an innocent animal. I'd feel guilty ending it's life too. I feel like I shouldn't get involved in nature, but if somoebody is gonna hunt for food, rather than give money to people who raise animals in battery farms, then I can't complain.

If you hunt for sport though, you're a fucking sicko.

Sorry, but I just don't understand why anyone would kill living creature and get pleasure from it.

 

[Romblen]

The only time I find hunting unacceptable is when it's an endangered species, or it's an animal that belongs to somebody(like a house cat).

Ah, well I stand corrected. My inner ignorant American kicked in there for a minute. However, I still think that is a lame way to hunt.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

For me its sport and everything above, but I guess to me it all depends on what Im hunting

.

To quote South Park, "We need to kill them, or else they'll die". XD

 

[bubba145]

Two cases
1 food.
2 over populaion of the animal that is hunted.
anything else nope.

 

[Jedoro]

Food and population control, but mostly for food. I mean, as long as you don't waste parts of the animal or just leave it out there, I'm all for hunting.

 

[Blindswordmaster]

You kill it, you'd better fucking eat it!
