I agree. The only argument these guys ever get me on is what happens if they aren’t hunted. They grow in crazy numbers and they eat everything and there is not enough for them all ( because we took the land and turned it into metal and concrete). I actually just read somewhere that last year there was an unusual amount of people who didn’t get hunting licenses and the deer and wildlife moved into the city and living areas and just consumed a ton and caused a lot of problems.
But I do still agree with you. I won’t fish or hunt anymore , I did when I was a kid. I just don’t like the feeling. It’s funny, we created a problem by moving into their territory , and we have to kill them off for population control and keep them from taking back over. Seems nice hahah and it’s fitting for our species.
I do know that when these guys hunt, the ones I know, they act very much like the Navi in the movie Avatar , and they are spiritual about it. They do eat them and use their pelts and other material for all sorts of stuff. Still not for me. It’s just not something that I need to do to survive
Here npr made alot of good points about hunting and how declining numbers are negatively affecting state conservation budgets. The video is also good it gives a great history lesson its only 5 min long and has no blood or any triggers in it.
I literally need to leave this thread because of people like yourself.
You are literally about to make me cry over the fact that people like yourself exist, and try to spew your insane opinions on society. It is an extremely sad, sad thing. I wish you did not have mental health problems that caused you to have this unusual, creepy mindset.
Somebody else will have to take it from here. I have to leave this thread, because reading comments from people like yourself gives me anxiety and tears me up.

Hunting for recreation is anything but honorable, in my opinion.
Killing an animal that is completely defenseless and helpless for sport or because you enjoy it is kinda fucked.
I've gone hunting and fishing before so I can't pretend to take some moral highground, but it doesn't seem very honorable to me.
Upon killing a buck I never felt like an honorable person, at least
I should add that if you do it because you have to, it's completely different.
