Thread: What do you think of hunting?

  1. #46
    Hunting is a very effective means of wildlife management in areas where humans have removed large predators from the food chain. (prime example is the northeast US deer population). The deer have more woodlands than they have had in a century or so, as previously farmed lands have been left to nature. What they don't have is a predator to keep the population in check.

    In third world countries people live in areas with wildlife, have for hundreds if not thousands of years, and large predators kill humans fairly routinely. It's been going on since time immemorial, and has nothing to do with any modern trend.

    As to China's one child policy, it is a failure, and where it is enforced, it is brutally enforced. Adoption is not an official solution, if the government find out a woman is pregnant with a second child, forced abortion is the official state answer. Given that chinese society values male children more than female children, the one child policy has essentially produced a lopsided population, where in the near term men will far outnumber the women.

    That is correct. Not to mention, the secret killing of baby girls in hopes of bearing a boy the next time!!! Also, in countries where there is no state run limit for offspring (such as in the U.S.) the population has stabilized, primarily because of education and economics, and has remained so now for several decades!!!

    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..

    Argranade - I'm just curious (not trying to start an argument or anything ) but how do you feel about commercial meat, such as what you might buy in a grocery store? Are you a vegetarian? Like I said, I'm just curious, not trying to start anything

    Actually, if you look at this coyote from an evolutionary perspective- this animal (and it's potential offspring) is more "fit," not neccessarily abnormal. It certainly seems to have a good knack for getting food, which is an excellent survival technique! Coyotes and other predators do not know that certain animals are off-limits, they just take what they can get, and captive animals make pretty easy prey.

    well I know that lol
    But being fearless is a big issue & no wild animal should be fearless like this coyotte. The farmers family has even chased after it.. they were able to get 500 yards from it & thats not good (they were yelling too).
