HUNTING - This is will not have the same meaning with all, it differs from person to person. Starts with hunting animals, jobless person will hunt for job, a police hunt for the thief, some one hunt for love or lover, I hunt for good questions and U r now hunting for best answer;) To close, the task HUNTING is same for all but the end objective.... always DIFFERENT. At any point the Hunting stops or we don't hunt, thats the "END". HUNTING will be there till we are there.

If there is an overpopulation of a species and it needs to be thinned, that is okay by me. (I know that in Pennsylvannia a few years ago the deer population was out of control) But hunting just for sport kind of bothers me. I also feel that if one is going to kill an animal, than they should use if for food. Personally, I couldn't hunt....I couldn't bring myself to kill an animal. (now a spider, that's different! )

Yeh, spiders are diffent, but are nice to eat the insects. Now I have scorpians here, and those I do not mind removing.

Yes, they are deadly. But out in the desert, they are around. Sometimes they get into the house. The smallest one are the bad ones. I have cats, so that helps. They catch them. The sting does not do anything bad to them, just a little pain for a few hours.

I do not go hunting as I am against killing animals. I think it is wrong and could never do such a thing myself. It makes me sad to see people killing deer and other wild animals. Fishing is the only thing that I have done close to hunting and did not like that very much either.

I do not hot - I'm a vegetarian. I have this feeling on hunting - if you are hunting for food that is ok with me. But if you are hunting for sport... I disagree with that.

I dissagree with hunting animals in general. I can see why animals such as wil pigs or kangaros have to be culled at times due to ruining of peoples crops etc, but I hope it is done humanely. I have seen deer heads on peoples walls and they seem so proud of the fact they have killed this beautiful animal. I don't understand it at all when it is just for sport.

i do not hunt, well basically because i hate guys. I do come a family that hunting is very active with them. I do not have a problem with it because it does help keep the population of the deer down in the state of Pennsylvania.

I learned hunting as a survival skill many, many years ago... However, I really never had to kill an animal for food, which is the only reason, to learn to hunt. I use my hunting and tracking skill in my photography and in business to help me find resources... Oh and I might use them to sneak up on the occasional supermarket chicken once in a while...! :)

No, I don´t go hunting or fishing. I can´t abide cruelty to animals. In this day and age (talking about the comfy occidental world) there´s no need to go hunting in order to have something to eat. Hunters enjoy what they are doing, the more animals they kill, the better. I feel rather aggressive towards people who go hunting. Why not leave the poor creatures alone?

I don't have a problem with hunting in general. Usually it helps thin down the heards, especially with deer who can starve in the winter if there are too many of them. Same with many other animals. What I have a problem with are the ones that go out to kill the animal and then leave the meat there to rot. If you are going to hunt an animal then you should be eating the meat it provides. To leave it there to rot is a waste, not only of the animals life but the food it can provide. Also I happen to like venison meat. It is very good although the deer here in Florida aren't that great tasting.

I personally don't go hunting, but my father is an avid hunter and I have learned alot from him about hunting and both the beauty and the horror of it. I think hunting is completely natural, but only if the animal is kept for food, skins etc. My father only kills what he will eat, and he also has alot of taxidermy in his house. Also, if you are a true hunter, you will want the animal to die quickly without suffering, and I follow that as a belief even though I don't hunt. We must also remember that hunting was the main way of providing for family not so long ago. Waste not, want not.
