I have grown up in a family that hunts. Our family uses the meat off the animals we hunt, and barely buy beef. We use our deer for meat. I talked to my dad about this one time, and he said that he thinks that fox hunting is cruel, and I agree with him. There are some hunting that I think is ok, such as deer, pheasants, coyotes, etc. For deer, I live in a area where deer are EVERYwhere. If people did not hunt them they would starve during our really harsh winters and there wouldn't be enough food for them all. As for pheasants, people are only allowed to hunt the roasters. The reason behind that is because the roasters will stand on top of the females during the winter months to stay away from the snow, and then the females die. If all the females die then it would become harder for them to breed. I'm not saying that they would all go extinct but there wouldn't be as many females to have babies. For coyotes, where I live there LOTS of them, and when there gets too many they don't have as much food, and then they get sickly and get diseases like mange, and they just suffer. I don't like hunting, but I don't think its wrong. I could never do it...I cry. Its not my cup of tea, but there are instances where its ok to hunt, but foxhunting is NOT one of them.
