Is it normal that i think anti-hunters are fools?

All wild animals will die in one of the following manners, in order of likelihood:

1. A slow and painful death from starvation.

2. A slow and painful death from disease.

3. A slow and painful death from freezing.

4. A slow and painful death from injury (which may cause one of the first three conditions).

5. A faster, but even more painful death from predatory animals like wolves and coyotes, which tear prey to pieces while still alive.

6. A relatively quick and painless death from more effective predators, like felines, and the human species.

Wild animals do not have food stamps, nursing homes, hospitals, medicine, wheelchairs, hospices, life insurance, police, or any of the things that humans have to increase the duration of life or reduce the effects of pain and disability. They never, ever die of so-called "natural causes". The very best thing that can happen to a wild animal is to be mercifully put down by a human hunter. People who are opposed to hunting on the grounds that it constitutes cruelty to animals thus demonstrate flawed logic.

If you are anti-hunting, then you are pro-cruelty-to-animals.

  • I agree that animals, in their natural environment can, and most likely will, die a painful, unavoidable death. But again, those are animals in their NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. I disagree, however, when you say that hunting an animal is more humane. Who are you to say that the animal doesn't feel the pain of a buckshot or an arrow? Often time hunters find joy in the killing of that said animal and are less likely to actually use that animal for food. Also, your last sentence was so absurd: "If you are anti-hunting, then you are pro-cruelty-to-animals?" I take it you're a hunter, or at the very least, your daddy takes you out hunting, so therefore you probably believe that killing animals is the right thing to do and everything I'm saying is flying right over your big head. In that case, I'd like to say that, though I am against hunting, I'm not "pro-cruelty" to animals. Please don't say we have flawed logic if you blatantly use slippery slope as yours.

    • The sensation of razor-sharp broad heads or bullets entering the body at high velocities is generally beyond an animals brain's ability to register, and certainly nowhere near as horrific as the five means of death I listed. Often, shot animals will go back to browsing for food, as though nothing happened, and peacefully exsanguinate.

      If you are against something that reduces animal suffering, than you are pro-animal suffering. I hate people who try to argue against logic.

      • It's not logic! You're small minded and ignorant and are so enthralled in your argument that you can't see around mine! But don't worry, I've met people like you.

        Am I wrong for feeling compassion for dead animals on the side of the road? I'm sure they didn't feel too much pain when a car was rolling over them, but it's the idea that this was their home before it was ours and their death is the result of our expansions that makes me sick. If I thought your logic was right, I might suggest that that animal felt less pain (there is pain. No matter how you look at it) being run over by a car than it would dying in its' natural environment. It's not about how humane your system of killing the animal is compared to that of a predator (which hunters are), that animal is going to die an unnatural death, and you're too blame.

  • This goes against everything I believe in. Also, calling someone a fool just because they have a different viewpoint doesn't exactly make you look great.

  • I don't care if people hunt for meat but its sick to see some jerkwad hang an animal head in the wall. Hunting for trophies seems creepy to me.
    I don't like killing things so id never be a hunter. I eat meat as long as I don't have to see it alive. Hypocritical? Im not sure but living in a modern world gives me that option.
    btw I think the 'best' think to happen to wild animals is to have a nice normal life without some person killing them.

  • If you're going to eat the game then I have no issue with it. Anyone who is against hunting for meat (even if it is humane) is either someone who is against killing animals in general (not really bad), or a meat eater who thinks that meat is grown on trees in their supermarket.

    I don't like sport hunting, though.

  • Personally, I think hunting for pleasure is wrong. Animals have done nothing. I have a better idea. How about using the guys and gals on deathrow as hunting targets? Who's in!?!

    • Animals hunt for pleasure all the time. Wolves and mountain lions are frequently observed killing large numbers of game and livestock without eating many of them, as though the act was merely for enjoyment.

      • It depends. Should we do it because we're different to the rest of the animal kingdom and are not wild, or should we because we are animals too?

  • I disagree. There is no such thing as a pleasant way to die.

    • Oh I dont know, just going in your sleep doesnt sound like such a bad way.

      I am also against any kind of hunting, UNLESS you harvest every usable piece of the animal.

  • Hunting for survival and using everything you can from an animal is fine. Hunting for sport is disgusting. I am a fool as well so its a win win for me.

  • Death's a necessary end to life. How animals get there is really of no concern to anyone. Things are the way they are, like it or not, and things aren't prone to drastic change. *Shrugs.*
