hunt

[Wooderson]

Actually, Bridge, I'm not that much of a fan of hunting myself, unless you do it for survival. It might be because I'm not well-informed, either. What are the recreational benefits of hunting?

Well, you have to be incredibly skilled to be even a passable hunter, and as with all hobbies that require a great deal of dedication and disciplined training, the journey is half the reward. I've never gone hunting personally, but if I can feel completely exhilarated playing Deer Hunter (which is monstrously difficult and still probably nothing like real life), then the excitement hunters get from possibly hours of patience paying off must be quite something. I don't advocate mass slaughter of animals, but how could you take that away from someone because you have some moral hang-ups?

Should never be allowed for sport.

Basically, I only think its morally right if you count yourself as an animal within the habitat/survival situations.

I'm glad you're not in charge, depriving people of something they have every right to do based on something as meaningless as morals.

Its what makes us human.

No, it's just people trying to find meaning where there is none. Animals kill each other all the time, much more than humans in fact. Do the motives matter? In the end, you have an animal that receives the same physiological effects as hunters and a carcass, that may or may not provide nourishment to some other animal.

Way I see it is;

Deer in woods. Hunter comes along. Kills it. Makes it a trophy, eats it.

I don't see why its fair for a creature of nature to have its life cut short because someone gets a kick out of it. They're getting satisfaction from killing. We don't live in the old age anymore, we have industries for meat (a whole other level of debate which I wont go into).

We are animals, but we are either privileged or cursed to have the power/intelligence we have. I value animals lives. I guess a lot of people don't.
