I would like to try it sometime. Even if to simply spite PETA and animal rights activists.
Duck hunting is great with a faithful, loving labrador.
Because they don't need to hunt in order to obtain meat. It is killing something when you don't need too.
It depends on the situation. If you can't afford meat from your grocery store then by all means go hunt, because then it is necessary. It doesn't matter if you derive enjoyment from it.Lets focus on the second half. What distinguishes a person hunting for food and disliking the experience and someone who hunts for food and likes the experience other than the subjective feelings they may have towards the process? In the end the results are the same, they find something that they can eat and bring it home to be cooked. Neither of them are just out there to kill for the sake of killing.
I usually get into this problem when arguing with people. I make decisions based on statistics and necessity. I usually don't let moral ambiguity dictate how I feel about things.The first half now. Do you live with just your necessity and nothing more? After all anything outside your necessity is apparently bad.

I've given ample reason. It isn't needed.
sorry eagleowl, but i dont care for you definition of "necessary" at all. imo your view here is seriously skewed. i can understand a stance against thrill-killing type of hunting, but telling people "just get your meat from a supermarket!" just doesnt cut it
The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
Why though? Tell me why you need to kill and eat wild animals.

Yes there is, where would we get enough meat for our population without damaging the environment beyond repair? The earth can not support us, hunting could not support all of us.
I am actually in the process of getting a hunter's permit.. Currently having theoritical sessions about ethics, laws and such stuff. Its a quite long-drawn course, so if all goes well, I'll have my license by April next year.
Oh and yes, of course, I intend to eat what I will eventually shoot. Would never kill just to kill.

No, I find it abhorrent. Hunters should be forced by law to eat what they kill, it shouldn't be treated as a sport.
Hence why there are hunting licenses and strict rules on what you can shoot and how much. Not to mention seasons to hunt.
No but it explains our point exactly. People who hunt do so out of necessity. Wanna know what that necessity is? It might surprise you. Because they have to eat. Whether they get their meat from a deer or the store it doesn't matter as long as they use the meat and not let it rot.Originally Posted by EagleOwl

I love that almost everyone thinks its wrong to hunt animals and they suffer, its painful and morally wrong <3
I hope that all of you "NAY-sayers" also are veggies?
Cus in my opinion its much more morally wrong to eat cow or pig or such animals which basically just stand still in one place their entire life just to get fat fast so they can get killed. THAT is really animal suffering, etc, etc...
The animal you hunt and kill have lived in the free wild, hopefully a good life and DEFINITELY a better and more joyful life than a "super-breeded, eat-alot-cow" which only seen the ass of its brother while eating its entire life.
I know some ppl like to watch ass and eat a whole life, but I would surely choose the wild animals life and get killed in the wild instead of a frikking fabric with 100000 other livestock.
Hunting = Ecological Meat
i personally dont. but i have no objection to those who do hunt to eat. and yes, there are people around here that DO hunt for food, partly because they are poor. there are even programs that allow a hunter to donate his kill to groups that will feed poor and homeless people with it.
as for need? people need to eat. it's not your call what they eat or how they get it
sustainability? that's why there are regulations, when you can hunt, with what type of weapon, how many your can harvest
