Importance of Hunting
Importance of hunting.

Like baseball and apple pie, hunting is an American tradition shared by young and old, rich and poor, regardless of social or economic status. Three out of every ten people are against hunting but for what reasons? What makes them stand out from the seven out of ten that are for hunting? My preference supports hunting for many reasons. Hunting is important because without it there would be animals struggling to survive because of the shortage of the nutrient food they need on a daily basis to stay healthy. It would also cut down the number of damage done to vehicles by animals. It also gets more kids outdoors and involved in agriculture activities which is needed now days. Believe it or not hunting is also a big part of our economy bringing in hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

The first and foremost reason it’s important is because it reduces the number of abundant animals struggling to survive and causing car wrecks. Many states including Nebraska have opened special seasons for the notoriously known “trophy” whitetail deer. Whitetail deer are in abundant numbers all over the United Sates, some people see them as pets, but even more people see them as pests. They destroy crops and cause car wrecks. The average claim after a deer collision is 3,100 dollars. Every 1 in 85 people have known or heard of someone dying because of a collision with a deer. The number of these animals is stable because of one thing and that is hunting! Without hunters hunting these animals they would be unhealthy, and over populating the suburbs of the southern parts of the United States and the country side of the Midwest. They would also be causing severe or fatal car wrecks. Deer aren’t the only abundant animal there are many others including wild Turkey, Elk, and Bear. These animals are all struggling because of the three out of ten people that are against hunting, if just one of those three people would change there mind and see that the animals

Also, this includes tigers, elephants, rhinos, and many more. Big Game Trophy Hunting is a danger to the environment due to population.

    I am against the big game trophy hunting for many reasons supported by quotes from articles about the story, TMDG. Something so small and harmless may be thought as just a hobby, but in the end, it is a hobby that affects way more. Animals and humans can both receive harm when people hunt; especially when it involves many deaths and drastic changes in someone's life. Throughout the articles I read, I found that big game trophy hunting is quite dangerous; adding to my original thought about being against it.…

    The activity of hunting wild animals for food has long been a practice of man. It is what we as humans survived off for thousands of years. An instinctual need to pursue game is still alive in many of us. Unfortunately, those who choose to fulfill this instinct are generally condemned for their actions. Now this may not seem to be such a serious deal, but I assure you there is much more to this situation than first meets the eye. The topic of hunting is very significant because it not only affects hunter’s rights, but it affects landscape, funding wildlife preservation, and tradition.…

    You’re driving home from a movie with your best friends and you’re doing about 60 on a country road you’ve known all your life. All of a sudden, out of your peripheral view, you see a couple of deer heading straight for your cars path. You hit the brake to try to avoid them and narrowly miss. You think to yourself how lucky you are that you didn’t hit one. What you didn’t know is the couple of deer you saw used to be a pack of 4 deer. A week earlier, two different hunters each took a deer from that herd. If it wasn’t for the hunters, you probably would’ve hit at least one deer. Deer hunting isn’t as bad as it is portrayed to be! Hunting controls the deer population and along with predator population and the number of accidents involving deer decrease because of good ethical hunting.…

    Many animals endure prolonged, painful deaths when they are injured but not killed by hunters. What the author fails to consider is that most people that hunt are not hunting to just kill most are trying to feed there family or put meat in there fridge. According to peta the delicate balance of ecosystems ensures their survival if they are left unaltered. Natural predators help maintain this balance by killing only the sickest and weakest individuals. Hunters, however, kill any animal whose head they would like to hang over the fireplace including large, healthy animals who are needed to keep the population strong. Although this may be true the ecosystem is going to kill off populations a lot slower than kill animals such as deer are self, killing isn't bad if you using the deer for good causes.On private lands that are set up as for-profit hunting reserves or game ranches, hunters can pay to kill native and exotic species in “canned hunts.” This is true, but people that go out and hunt in canned hunts usually after they kill a deer they give the meat to share your harvest and help families in need.…

    Hunting helps to prevent animal overpopulation. If we didn’t hunt, animals would become overpopulated, which would lead to animals dying of starvation and disease. For example if deer became overpopulated, they wouldn’t have enough food to go around and they would die of starvation. The article Six Reasons Why Everyone Should Hunt states “If they’re not hunted, they’ll die of starvation or disease.” If animals were overpopulated there wouldn’t be enough land for both animals and humans. For example if deer became overpopulated they wouldn’t have enough land to live on so they would start wondering through neighborhoods. The article Pros and Cons of Hunting…

    I believe everyone should be able to carry a gun for safety. Let’s put it this way, if a gang or terrorists were to come to Clarksville to try to kill you or your family and maybe take your possessions, you have the right to protect what is legally yours. Also, I love to hunt. Guns are a great way to hunt plus if there is a wild animal around that you know could or would attack you can always shoot it because you have that right. Since I live out in the woods pretty much, we have a lot of those and they are mean.…

    …I am not in a position to answer yes or no to the question. Considering the fact that “the law of the jungle” was contaminated by human law, I think everyone -not only mankind but all the animals- should live their lives peacefully. On the other hand, I literally eat a certain animals and think my life would be less satisfactory if I lost a chance to eat them.…

    It is cruel and unnecessary; hunting animals is absolutely horrible as animals feel the pain of a gunshot the same way we do. Humans can live on other things, which give you more protein than meat for example, quorn. This gives you more protein and stops pain going through all these poor innocent animals that have not done a thing to you. In addition, I can't believe my eyes seeing hunters and poaches STILL killing endangered animals. What do you want? Money? Fame? A fur coat? Why do you do this? There's no need for this behavior and when all of these beautiful, stunning creatures like tigers become extinct everyone will be blaming it on you. And it annoys me how people keep saying 'we do it to keep control of the population' well our population of humans is over limit, and you don't see the animals hunting us, do you? Our planet is turning into a polluted piece of litter because all the people don't seem to care about what the best things in life are and are turning it into a dark place without nature and animals. There has already been many extinct species because of these matters, and I cry myself to sleep every night from all of this and I know I can't do anything as I'm 'just a little girl' said from some people. No one listens to my opinion on anything and I know I'm nothing in this world and I can't…
