Someone sent that to me. I remind you to be respectful, and bring up all the points why hunting and hunters are beneficial for the environment, why you hunt (not to "prove manhood"), and how you use the meat, hide, etc..

There are a lot of ignorant people out there - lets educate them.

    As a biologist i know that hunting helps to balance out what we as humans have taken from the environment. We have take land from animals, we take predators from the environment which has huge impacts such as in south Carolina where they have way to many deer because the predators where take. Another example is the Carolina parakeet which was killed because they ruined food crops and now they are extinct. But on the other side many hunters are just out to kill something and do not follow the rules and poach. Hunters do use the meat to eat, the hides for carpets and any part that is left from cleaning is eaten by decompose-rs such as vultures, bugs and any other animal that will eat dead mater. I hunt but also practice good habits such as not taking every or any game that comes my way and i just enjoy being out there, taking game is just a bonus. Hunting also does more for conservation than any other single group of Americans.

    What you don't get is that looking the African enormous 5 definitely facilitates preserve those animals. hundreds of hundreds- if no longer hundreds of thousands- of dollars each and every twelve months is placed into conservation of those animals from hunters who pay enormous costs to circulate on an African safari. no longer purely are those animals helped by using the conservation efforts that licensing money, yet community villages are helped besides. think of what number human beings may be fed from a rhinoceros or an elephant's flesh. this may be a source of superb protein this is donated to community villages, somewhat than in basic terms dropping away. Then there is the financial consequence. the money that hunters spend to pay courses injects hundreds of dollars into the community economies, besides. All that comes on the "fee" of a small handful of elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, and cape buffalo each and every twelve months. because that's relatively trophy looking, the hunters do no longer waste their time shooting youthful animals- purely the main important are shot, animals that have already provided genetic cloth to the subsequent quite a few generations through mating. you notice, you're at a loss for words. looking is completed in the direction of the final channels, obeying rules, with a watch in the direction of retaining the species. after all, in case you shoot all of them, there is not any longer something left to seek. extra beneficial to have hundreds of a threat animals to seek than purely some dozen. Poaching is the priority. people who shoot an elephant purely for tusks, or a rhino in order that they could sell the horn as an aphrodisiac... those are the authentic problems. fortuitously, the money that valid hunters pay additionally facilitates pay regulation enforcement agencies to hit upon and stop poachers. and actually endangered animals, like the Siberian Tiger, are not hunted. So previously you come back to the "looking" part of Yahoo! solutions and use such self-righteous tones with us, possibly you need to get knowledgeable. in any different case, you possibility making your self look somewhat silly.

    I enjoy hunting enormously, like any predator does, hunger alone is not the only reason for an animal to hunt...take a look at your cat!!!

    Success in Hunting makes happy because it meant survival in evolution.

    Why should I do without hunting when it satisfies my inborn needs???

    Animals are hunting and killing animals, and I as the highest PRIMATE Homo sapiens s.s. have at least the same right to have pleasure with chasing,hunting and killing an animal and slaughtering it.

    And I enjoy every second of this procedure. :-))

    It’s a fantastic feeling to hunt and make prey !
