Hunting:Your views?

Do you eat whatyou kill? Because if you do, i think thats fine, but if you kill for fun, i don't think its right. Though if you leave it out in the wild it, then other animals can eat it, so it's not that bad.

When we respect wildlife properly it's fine, but only if we set up a wild hunting area that is seperate from the wild area, until then I don't like it.

I'm not really a fan of hunting, especially for fun, it's just cruel. Wait, one day animals will hunt humans for fun

Fine by me as long as:
- you don't kill anything endangered

- it is a clean, swift (as painless as possible) death for the animal

- you don't kill baby ones :P

the animal carcass isn't wasted

As the title states, so is the question!

I myself have been a sport hunter for a long time, I started out hunting foul and small game with my Dad when I was younger, but as I grew older I moved on to progressively larger game and started Bow Hunting instead. I would go over to my Brother in Laws in the States and hunt Big Game such as Deer, Elk, Proghorn, Moose Bear etc(tried Mountain Lion, but the things are tricky) , and even to Africa to hunt Oryx.


All I can is that I absolutely love it, as many other hunters will know it's the thrill of the stalk and the satisfaction of the kill that makes it worth while.

I hear a lot of winging and crying from those in the anti-hunting brigade, and I usually do my best to keep them happy, I have a habit of whenever able utilizing all the meat and the pelts(as most Hunters do really..why waste good meat and pelts you can sell?)

Sadly though over the past few years due to University Commitments, getting married, putting money away for essentially starting up a decent life and family, I haven't had the chance to get away but ive been thinking of sometime in the near future getting my Bow out of it's case, get my aim back in order and maybe getting back into the hobby, which made me think?

What does TSR think of Hunting, Thrilling Blood Sport, or Barbaric Animal Cruelty?

I obviously don't have a problem with it, it's a fantastic and rewarding pastime.

One of the things I don't like is people who take a man vs animal approach. As if you're testing your strength by killing the animal. It's not a test of strength if you are using a high powered rifle. I know it still must take skill especially with smaller game but people who shoot elephents are just douchbags.

I could never imagine killing animals for fun. To find enjoyment in killing anything strikes me as critically lacking in empathy.

How so?

Empathy is the ability to understand or share the feelings of others. Enjoying causing harm shows a disconnection in that ability.
