Illiterate barbarians? Really?Not really Japan is doing just fine with a smaller population, most migrants are illiterate barbarians that don’t contribute to the economy of a nation but rather strain it by soaking up a huge amount of welfare.
I think this is a very important point. Both of my grandfathers hunt. Neither of them use the meat anymore, but they donate it. They do not use a lot of fancy equipment. They do enjoy it as a hobby - being outdoors, the skills involved, and doing a service for the rural communities they live in. Killing a deer instantly is a lot better than having it die in a car accident or by starving to death.Dying in the wild is no piece of cake, no matter how you slice it. When the alternative is overpopulation, hunting could easily be the most humane way individual animals could have experienced their inevitable deaths.
IIRC, the giraffe she shot was to be killed by the wildlife management of the preserve because it had already killed 4 young bulls. She just allowed them to make $20K in the process.Concerning the Second Article, Ms. Talley did nothing illegal and donated the Giraffe meat to the village.
I do not understand why hunting for sport is wasteful. I no longer hunt, but used to hunt birds quite a bit. It was definitely for sport, but definitely not wasteful.I’m not a fan of sport hunting, mainly because it’s unnecessarily wasteful.
I do not understand the opposition to hunting for sport, as long as the meat is not wasted and the conservation laws are followed. Every bit of deer meat eated is that much less of some other meat eaten. So its the motivation for the killing that matters? Its okay to kill cows, pigs, chickens,etc for profit but not okay to kill a deer for sport? Even though killing an animal for sport not only provides food but often aids in the conservation of wildlife? Makes no sense to me at all.If hunting is necessary, it’s necessary. But all too often it isn’t, and I disagree with hunting for sport.
There’s no point to the killing except the killing. That’s wasteful to me.I do not understand why hunting for sport is wasteful. I no longer hunt, but used to hunt birds quite a bit. It was definitely for sport, but definitely not wasteful.
I would submit that those who hunt for sport do not enjoy killing. They don’t relish or delight in an animal’s death. What they enjoy is: being outdoors in nature, honing their skills with shooting (there’s a lot to this) and also providing a service to their communities and/or feeding their families.just the joy of killing
It is probably as humane as it can get, although methods do change some from time to time. It might be noted, for instance, that Temple Grandin is a major designer of facilities because her experience of autism gives her unique insight into what kinds of enclosures and movements are calming.the way commercial meat is harvested is anything BUT humane
Fair enough, and you have been consistent, so perhaps I responded to the wrong post to make my point. This whole “hunting for sport is wrong” thing really confuses me. The motivation of doing it for sport has no bearing on the issue at all, as far as I am concerned. In the developed world, hunting is very well regulated and very much done so with the complete cooperation of the hunters themselves. So the fact that it is even an issue means that most people who bring it up actually do consider the"“for sport” motivation the deciding factor in determining its morality.It’s different with different animals, but it’s illegal at least in my state to simply leave a killed game animal. You have to take it to a processor. With pest-type animals like feral hogs, it’s different.
