What do you think of hunting?

[king2005]

If there was a coyote they could have used a sleeping gun or a trap and set it way up north far away from the farm there was no need to shoot this animal there are plenty of ways to stop a wild animal population with out killing.

Oh yes lets trap an animal that isn't acting completly normal & dump it into someone elses yard.. No thanks.. A wild animal like that shouldn't reproduce as its young will not be nearly as fearful & that can cause even more problems. Keep the fearfull animals around to keep the genes in check. Besides the farm dogs need to eat anyways. Also it was the first coyotte the farmer even had to consider to shoot in over 10yrs I think it was. SO its not like hes killing every thing in sight.. he didn't want to kill it but it needed to be done.

Also when you shoot an animal properly, there is NO pain & NO fear. How can anything feel pain when its dead before it hits the ground? Trust me when things are done right, there is no suffering at all. We didn't practice at the range for nothing. We're not animals (as in the bad sence), so things need to be done in 1 shot. If you have to shoot an animal a 2ed time, or it runs off & then dies, THATS wrong!! Also we were using the 300WINMAG. Shot anythere near the chest would kill the animal faster then anything, as the chest would litterly turn to mush..we were using strong ammo for this coyotte so there were be no errors made, as the coyotte would be quite far away.. about 1/2 km..
