People think hunting is barbaric and inhumane, but it helps keep the environment strong, keeps the animal populations at a healthy level, and is good for the people who hunt them. Hunting is practiced all over the world and has been for thousands of years. People oppose hunting simply because they see it as black-hearted or immoral. They do not see the rich qualities that come with hunting. If only they open their eyes to the wonderful qualities hunting provides, then they could see the good hunting does in this world. Hunting keeps the environment strong and healthy. Hunting keeps crops and native plants from being over eaten or wiped out all together. The goal of hunting is to not kill every animal and keep them from eating any plant at …show more content…
Hunting is a major source of food for some families. Without food gained through hunting, they would not have enough food to provide. Hunters also donate to certain organizations who provide families with the meat. In the article published by Ronald Fowler, It states, “Total harvested deer which were donated increased from 348 in 2015, to 397 in 2016. These numbers included 256 antlerless deer in 2016, compared with 204 antlerless deer in 2015”(Fowler). That is hundreds of pounds of meat donated to families. They will never have to tell their kids they don’t have any food to eat. Hunting also stimulates the economy. People use hunting all over the world as a way to pay the bills. Fur trapping is still very popular. In an article written by David Smith, He states, “There are around 70,000 trappers running lines in Canada and more than 200,000 in the U.S..”(Smith). The furs are sold in actions and the money goes to trappers. There are other jobs than trapping. There are hunting guides and even large companies who sell hunting supplies. All this goes to providing jobs for people who love the outdoors. Hunting is also very cultural and a need for some people. Believe it or not, not everyone live close to a grocery store. There are people who live in the most rural areas of the world. They have to hunt to survive. In the article Survival, It says, “Some tribes identify themselves as hunters of specific species. The Khanty of Siberia are reindeer hunters.They use reindeer skins for clothing and shelter, meat for food and bones for knife handles. Their connection to the reindeer is vitally important to them as a people.”(Survival). Without hunting these people would die. They would not be able to survive and would either have to lose their cultural roots or die. Hunting is a huge part of people's lives, It can not be stripped from
Hunting has become one of most popular sports, dating all the way back to the first Homo Sapiens known as hunter-gatherers. They were called hunter-gatherers because they hunted for food, gathered and then skinned it to eat. Most humans lived this way until about 12,000 years ago.
The first big issue concerning big game hunting is that it is considered to be the citizens' rights. Anti-hunters believe that there is no right for anyone to take the life of another living creature. It would be morally wrong. The thought of going out and killing an animal for fun is just appalling to these individuals. Maybe they believe hunters will rear a generation of killers.
First of all, why do we have the right to kill animals? Who gave us permission to do it? Animals’ lives should be respected like ours, after all we were all created with a purpose. Each one of us has the same right to live because we all form part of what is called “food chain”. For example if we had no grass what would antelopes eat? With no antelopes what would lions eat? And so on. It doesn’t make any sense to me how we are killing them not to survive but to have fun. I don’t think is fair either that because they are under us in the food chain we can do whatever we want with them, equality is for all kinds of creatures. Like Ann Causey, stated in Governor's Symposium on North America's Hunting Heritage in 1992: "Does killing an animal primarily to obtain a trophy demonstrate respect for that anima...
The narrow definition of "hunting", limited to the act of killing large prey animals, does not match with the conceptions of foragers themselves. In Iñupiat society, women are considered hunters because it is their work, in provisioning the men for the hunt and in their general behavior, which calls animals to the men. The association is strong enough that men without wives are considered inadequate, even if they are able to find other women to perform female associated tasks such as sewing and caring for their children. According to Bessie Ericklook, an Iñupiat woman, said, "[t]his is what we have always known. When a mother loses a husband, she can sew, or she can get food by begging or working for it. But when a husband loses a wife,
Hunting is popular among American men and is a delightful pastime for a father and a son. It is not essential that Americans hunt for their food anymore, but that is not why people hunt. They hunt because it gives men a sense of serenity being out in the woods. People enjoy hunting. Those people should not have to suffer because other people like to kill other people. On the other hand, some people might actually need to hunt for food. Not everybody has enough money to feed their family big feasts every night, so they kill an animal to help cut down on the cost of their food bill.
I have just shown you some right-wing substantial proof on why I think that hunting is foundationally right. I will support the second amendment and the right to hunt ‘til the day I die. Hunting is rooted deep inside in the blood of all people whether we want to admit it or not. It is natural, it is instinctive, and most of all, it is traditional. And by the way… it’s freakin’ fun!!
Hunting centuries ago was a cruel way of survival for humans but now it's no more than a violent form of recreation. Hunters should only hunt if they need it for sustenance which most
(1) Hunters will keep passing on their knowledge of hunting and the environment to their kids and anyone else that would like to learn about this. The ecosystem is very important to keeping our world in good health.
Hunters often reveal that being in nature provides time to clear the mind. In the woods, there is no rush, no schedule, and no deadlines; nature moves at its own pace. This interaction provides a deep spiritual connection with the land, the wildlife, and our planet. Hunting has been around since the beginning of time and has been in many people 's lives for generations, these are some reasons why people all across America continue to hunt. Hunting has many benefits such as reducing deer related car accidents, controlling deer densities in heavily human populated areas, creates jobs, and feeding and supporting families. Thus, deer hunting is necessary for several reasons.
One of the most imperative reasons to ban trophy hunting is because it creates an imbalance in which it can lead to what scientists refer as ¨evolution in reverse¨. Jeffrey Flocken from CNN claims that trophy hunting is part of the tendency referred as “survival of the weakest”. Scientists
It’s a brisk November morning like any other day, but today isn’t any other day, today is the first day of firearm deer season. Shots are going off everywhere like world war three declared on deer. I’m wrapped in every hunting garment I own but winters cold embrace always finds its way in. My cheeks are rosy red and my breath was thick in the air. As I raise my shotgun and pull the trigger, my heart races and my hands shake. As I race after my prize, the sounds of leaves crunching beneath my feet are muffled by the ringing in my ears. I’m walking face to the ground like a hound on a trail and then my eyes caught it, my very first whitetail. I will never forget my first deer and the joy I felt sharing it with my family. Hunting is a passed down tradition for my family and friends. Throughout the world, millions of people participate in the spoils and adventure of the hunt. Hunting has been a pastime since the beginning of man. Hunting is one of those things either you like or you don’t like. It’s hard to explain the joys of hunting ,because it’s something one must experience for his self. Hunting does have laws and regulations you have to abide by. Are hunting regulations benefiting the hunter or the animal? This paper will discuss some of the regulations and laws, types of game, disadvantages of regulations, the pros of regulations, poachers, and ways to preserve wildlife and there habitat.
First, hunters are the biggest contributors to those wildlife agencies that are designed to help the wildlife
A lot of people just think of hunting as a thing were you go up into a tree and wait for a duck to come flying bye or a deer to walk in the sight so we can shoot them well you see that is hunting but how did we get to here. Why do we hunt the way that we do well it is because of how we got ideas off of the old ways we did it the history of hunting, the old way that we did things not the waiting for it to come to use the I am going to go get what I want and need. Now you see many people think that all hunting was from a tree and that it was from a deer stand and that we used high powered rifles to shoot deer from hundreds of yards. Well I can say that if you think that then you are just wrong that wasn’t the way that we hunted thousands of years ago or even hundreds of years ago similar but not the same.
Hunting demonstrates the ability to protect and provide mainly referred to males providing their families with meat from the animals and protecting their land. (“Modern Hunters Are Stewards of Wildlife and the Environment.”) The economy today is very unsustainable and hunting is the key to feeding the hungry. (“Modern Hunters Are Stewards of Wildlife and the Environment.”) There are many food banks today that will accept the meat provided by animals and feed hungry organizations that cannot buy food themselves. What most people don’t know is most of the money used by hunters that go towards hunting licenses, hunting tags, and hunting lotteries to hunt in particular spots go to wildlife research and habitat protections in that hunters home state. With approximately 12.5 million hunters in the World today a lot more money gets sent to these organizations than people would ever think. Overall, hunting is a positive force because it provides an economic motive for maintaining wildlife habitats. This keeps animals in their own habitats and away from people and their homes as much as possible. Some see this sport very cruel and un-humane but overall it is helping this World out way more than people think. If we didn’t have people who hunt or knew how to hunt we would be very reliant on other foods. Such as farming fruits and vegetables, which could go extinct if something devastating happens. We wouldn’t have the protein and vitamins needed in the meat we eat. Hunting is very necessary, and everyone should know how to hunt or learn soon. It’s helpful now, and will be very helpful in the future if there is a reason we can’t rely on cattle for meat anymore. We will have to figure out other ways to get meat, and without hunting it is very unlikely that
If this trend continues, by the year 2055, the number of species which are hunted could be increased. reduced by as much as 81 percent. (Satchell 31) Not only does hunting reduce the number of animals, it can also be unnecessarily cruel to the creatures. When deer are bowhunted, they often are. not instantly killed by the snare.
