38/F/Escaped!!!, United Kingdom Join Date: Oct 2005 | Most forms of hunting are now banned in the UK, fox hunting, stag hunting, hare coursing etc etc i think the only legal hunting now is birds.
Having watched Louis Theroux in South Africa on the big game hunting, it got me thinking. It costs $40,000 to kill a lion in a well run legal game park, this money goes into the conservation of more lions. So for every one you kill, another 10 are raised. There is big money still in big game hunting and basically if it was outlawed many families would be completely broke. One man spoke of Zimbabwe and how people just fell into poverty once the big game hunting was disallowed.
Do you feel it hypocritical to buy sausages or a rack of ribs or a pack of steaks and at the same time object to hunting animals?
Do you feel it is a mans right to hunt an animal with fair play, well trained to make a quick kill?
Whats the difference between animals in farms, bred for meat and animals on big game ranches?

18/M/Roseburg, Oregon Join Date: Apr 2008 | I think hunting is ok, as long as it's not something like Rino's and crap in Africa. Animals killed should be animals you intend to eat. And no endangered species. If all hunting was outlawed. Animals would drop in population anyways because of competition, but the predator population would increase which wouldn't be good. Hunting controls both the population of the hunted animal, like deer/elk/birds/etc. and also controls the predator population. If we had an over population of predators, they'd start looking for food in town, killing livestock, pets, rummaging trash cans and what not. Predators in town doesn't sound too good to me.
