deer hunting rocks!!!!

Killing animals is not a sport... it's just cruel.

It's not cruel, the deer will over populate if some aren't shot. That would be cruel to let the deer starve from a lack of food and die from dieases. Not to mention, hunters like my father eat the meat so the deer doesn't die in vain.

i killed a 8 point and we ate every ounce of meat on it

Killing animals is just cruel and made this for hobbys or maybe for eat meat of deers or something else - when it's possible eating other kind of meat!
For over populate you have to introduce his natural rival the wolves - or give them moore space - not shot it, just for the pleasure of some man!

i would never kill animals it is so crazy i hate hunters.why can't people let the nature and the animals alone i mean people are destroying nature everyday to built highways,buildings and other stuff like that and they destory the home of many animals can't they just let alone the rest what is left from nature and the rest what has left from the animals

^If we weren't supposed to eat animals, then why do we have canine teeth? I mean, how would humans have survived the Ice Age without meat, and fur to keep them warm? I personally would never hunt, because I wouldn't be able to stand myself if I took away an animal's life (even if it helped their population), but I'm okay with other people hunting as long as they don't die in vain. Most hunters don't hunt for COMPLETE sport, I mean they eat the meat. And I only support hunting the PREY - as in elk, caribou, hares, etc... but the PREDATORS (like wolves, tigers, sharks, lions, cheetahs, etc.) I don't support hunting at all. It's just something that you obviously shouldn't do, because the social structures between predators and prey are different, and a predator would react differently to being hunted than prey would. Idk about the whole thing, I'm just curious about your opinion on it.

But I completely agree about people destroying nature everyday - it's so true. It's sad, stupid, and ridiculous. Believe me when I say I had a meltdown when my dad destroyed a bunny's home in our backyard. People are forcing animals to live closer and closer together when they weren't meant to be. Like tigers - their territories aren't supposed to be that close! Many ignorant people keep moving nearer to animals who they SHOULDN'T BE NEAR. They can't just expect the animal to leave - they were there first! Instead of protecting our own human desires, the human race really needs to start thinking about things other than themselves. Agree.

i hunt but its not my fav. hoby.

It's cruel. @ArcticWolf That's just a lame excuse for people who would never stop eating meat. The difference is: We have the choice.

Just insane people do so!

its horrible i belive i have some family members i dont talk to much that hunt them its sad i hate hunting

@Schnusch: so you're saying we have canine teeth for no reason?

You said it yourself. We have the choice. Some people choose to eat meat.

i do like the meat though...

I hate people who hunt for sport

While I don't go around preaching vegetarianism or anything, I wouldn't use anything along the lines of "we're meant to eat meat" or "it's nature" or "but canine teeth" as a reason to eat deer or any type of meat that you have to cook in order to eat. We're technically meant to eat bugs, not mammals or anything else that we can't digest raw. We're also not "meant" to have farms or hunt with weapons.

That said, I personally am more about living life how you can and not how you're meant to, I just wanted to point out that some of the most mainstream pro-meat arguments are... probably the worst ones. XD
