Killing Animal for Sport
The Great Hunting Debate
Hunting, like many other things in our society has been going on for many years. People have always had something to say about hunting and how cruel it is etc. But now people are actually trying to put a total stop to hunting for fun. In this essay I will be putting forward the arguments for and against hunting. I hae done research on ther internet and recently watched a program about hunting in Exmoor.

In Exmoor around 1000 red deer are killed each year by farmers and hunters.
Farmers have been known to kill the deer “inhumanely” when they trespass on their land, many hunters believe that it is better to hunt the deer than to let a farmer take a random shot at it, they say that hunting is a lot more human for the animal and they don’t feel the pain, they die instantly.

· Saddlery
· Hotels
· Pubs

Hunters feel that if they don’t hunt the deer, then there will be no deer left because the
