Who thinks hunting has nothing to do with conservation ? gives opertunities to collect the animals that now find themselves with out habitat

And the market in first world countries like the USA entices the poor from these Natural teritories to hunt exotic animals for pets or for body parts such as the hides.And the only way to stop this is to stop deforestation and improve local economic conditions which will not even happen with the skies full of flying pigs.

And the USA still has hunting as part of their culture ,and they will regret it in the end when everything has gone

Not me, I think they are related, but it%26#039;s a one way relationship.

Conservation will exist without hunting, hunting won%26#039;t exist without conservation.

Hunting and conservation are opposites. The passenger pigeon was successfully hunted to extinction as was the dodo.

not me atleast .why do u???

I think the two are quite closely linked. Assuming hunting means the killing of animals from the wild.
Hunting can be beneficial in some sense in that it can provide money to continue the maintenance of reserves or species protection. It can also be beneficial through population control, so that mass deaths don%26#039;t occur through things such as food shortages cause by large unnatural population sizes. But in these case population sizes and ecosystems must be well monitored in order to have some knowledge on the effects these actions will have on natural ecosystems.
Of course it can also be a negative and act against conservation, such as through illegal poaching.
It also seems to me that people become caught up on the cuteness issue, rather than thinking about the impact their own %26#039;hunting%26#039; may have upon the environment (killing spiders in homes, or the culling of fruitivores (mammals and insects) that often occurs in the production of fod for human consumption).
This is a very complex issue and not something with clear black and white, wrong and right answers. Every situation is different.

There are preserves which allow for a specified number of kills to keep the herd size in check and assure ample feeding grounds for the other animals. This is necessary because preserves are a limited size and the animals are allowed to live free so it is important to find a way to keep the population in check. The other benefit is they are killed for food specific purposes. It isn%26#039;t perfect but it is an option.

Certain hunting has everything to do with conservation. In New Zealand, we have a pest that is destroying the native bush and bird life. It was an introduced species and has no natural predator here. I have flown over and walked our forests and seen trees hundreds of years old, dead from the devastation of these pests. The opossum has been filmed taking birds eggs and small chicks from the nests. On top of that, they also strip the tree of all of it%26#039;s foliage and the tree dies. In cases like this I feel hunting is a must if we are to conserve what we have.

In the ultimate sense, the energy and matter of something hunted is still conserved through eating and fertilizing. Non restricted hunting could and has wiped out species, but to mark a species has having a %26#039;right%26#039; to be conserved seems to be playing with the environment. The environment is so complicated that it%26#039;s hard to pick what to conserve [assumingly with the purpose to maximize our benefit somehow]. Yet, if we kill all the animals, guess what you are going to be eating for meat!
Err, I guess that puts me on the side that hunting and conservation are related.

If you are hunting to feed yourself then it has everything to do with conservation. Those who hunt and take only enough to sustain life generally have the greatest respect for life, habitats and the legacy for future generations. Shooting parties have nothing to do with conservation. Going to the supermarket has a massive impact on the environment and conservation; habitat loss, monocrops etc.

If the hunting is for sport; the intention is for the prey to be killed then no it has nothing to do with conservation.

As for other arguments which are given to support hunting they are totally indefensible such as regulating populations, culling to protect livestock etc. Nature, if left alone, will balance populations. We have lost chickens, geese etc to foxes. It was our fault. Foxes hunt. We were too lazy either to put them away that night, or to check housing or we simply ignored the guinea fowl%26#039;s alarm calls.
