Is hunting Cruel or Wildlife Management? I believe Hunting is not cruel in any way, but rather a wildlife management tool that keeps the animal populations from overpopulating.

For your information, when a populationg overpopulates, the area cannot sustain their numbers and they suffer from starvation that takes days to weeks or an epidemic of diseases that sweep through their numbers killing them all off at a rapid rate with a slow and painful death.

So tell me, what do you think? Is hunting cruel? Or is hunting a wildlife management tool?

A good hunter will use any thing from the animal they can and help with the conservation in the local areas. Hunting is necessary in many areas to manage populations. For example in southern Connecticut in places there is as many as twelve deer per acre. These deer die slowly from starvation and disease while their populations continue to rise. The only truly effective way to reduce these populations is to use hunting. 0% 0 Votes

Hunting for food or survival is fine. hunting for fun or joy or fur is stupid, barbaric, and evil.

Nature doesn%26#039;t need to be regulated or %26quot;managed%26quot; by humans at all. they%26#039;re only screwing it up worse. Nature has a finely tuned balance and can take care of itself.

wildlife %26quot;management%26quot; is just some fancy word they made up to justify killing things that they deem a %26quot;nuisance%26quot; or %26quot;pest%26quot;

Plus, wildlife management is made up by the same people who swear up and down that there%26#039;s NO way we could be affecting the atmosphere even SLIGHTLY with over 5 billions cars and millions o smokestacks. 0% 0 Votes

Very few people hunt to put meat on the table. The time spent in hunting, if spent putting in overtime can usually buy more meat than you get from what you kill yourself. People hunt because they enjoy it. A good hunter will not waste anything that can be used, though.

One reason for hunting is that humans have managed to upset the ecosystem that existed befor colonial times (U.S.). White-tailed deer, for example, have a much larger population than they had 300 years ago. There%26#039;s not much we can do about that if we want to keep eating. Farms harbor more deer than large forests do. Re-introduction of large predatore is not usually an option. One thing we can do is to allow hunting to thin the population a little bit. Since most sport hunters are rather poor predators, controlled hunts are a better mechanism for keeping the deer herds healthy. Unfortunately, people who learned their wildlife conservation only from watching Bambi keep objecting and suggesting ineffective controls such as birth control hormone distribution. 0% 0 Votes

hunting is Wildlife management, but also has other benefits.

the tags that states sell for hunting and fishing raise money for it%26#039;s government.

also as a recreational fisherman myself, I know that hunting and fishing are activities that bring families and friends together.

as for everyone saying hunting is wasteful, there are only wasteful hunters. My friend will give me some fresh meat whenever he goes hunting, and the price of wild game shows that many love the taste of it. 0% 0 Votes

As long as you consume the animals that you hunt for then it is OK. It also helps keep the animal population under control. Ever since the wolf was all but went extinct here in the U.S. Normal game doesn%26#039;t have very many predators any more other than man. 0% 0 Votes
