Have you ever been hunting?

Hunting as a sport, is something I do not agree with. I think if you hunt you should eat what you kill. I have gone hunting before with my ex-husband and I did enjoy it, but I also have a high respect for the animals as well. They gave their life so we could eat. We eat everything we hunt, or we just don't hunt at all.

Sport hunting is a travesty, as far as I'm concerned. The only reason for hunting is for food, period. As for killing in self-defense, yes, that too. I love love love all animals, and I think that we humans have a responsibility to do what we can to try to save the species that are left on the planet, if we can, if it's not too late; but if I were in a situation where, for some reason, I was being attacked by an animal, I would try to survive, even if it meant killing to do so. Sport hunting, however, should be punished as if it were murder, period.

Hi. Personally I myself have not been out hunting, and I dont think I would want too, but I have brothers, cousin, uncles and friends that all hunt wild pig... Hunting for them is a source of food...

I don't think it's right as a sport either. However, I think that what makes me madder is the current animal abuse we have going on. I remember seeing pictures not too long ago from Alaska and hunters (I guess they were hunters) were beating sea dogs to a bloddy pulp. The pictures made me cry. Also, just the other day I seen pictures of what the pit bull dogs looked like after a fight. That makes me sick. When I think of killing animals for food I think of cows and chicken or turkey. To me that is okay, it sucks that we live off of them and i wish there was another way, but since I'm not a vegetarian I guess I don't really have a choice with that and you have to eat to live. I've never really thought of hunting as a sport, only because every time I knew someone that went hunting it was for food, and they would hunt for dear.
