Hunting......for fun???

Since Spikey told all of us that this is a child friendly forum, I have deleted this unappropriate video! But really, hunting for fun!? Isnt that mean!?

Hunting for fun is respectless and stupid.
If you do this to stay alive and to eat what you have catched, shot or something, it´s ok, but only to kill an animal, it´s cruel.

Okay. Now, I just want to let you know ahead of time that I'm not saying this to be mean. Got that? Alrighty then.

I understand your point about the video. It's sickening that people usually shoot animals just for entertainment and, most of the time, a good laugh. Some people, okay? greasysalvadaor and wifeofsmartass made some very good points. Sometimes, it is necessary to kill an animal for survival or, in most cases, self defense. I find those necessities as the only reason to kill an animal. I have an arguement - and I always get told off for it - about farmers shooting wolves just because they're killing off the livestock and are "dangerous." Um, hello? Something must be going on if a wolf/coyote/whatever is entering into human territory when they are usually very shy to make human contact. 1.) The farmers are living on animal territory. Where else can the animal go if the area is his/her home? 2.) Hunting deer and other animals that the wolf hunts on lowers the prey population. Either starve to death or eat a little lamb...what other choice can he/she make? 3.) It's an animal that hunts to live. Basically, if he/she is doing what instincts tell him/her to do, it really isn't "dangerous." The only time that the animal is dangerous is when it feels threatened, is to the point of starving to death and must make desperate measures, or is rabbid. Otherwise, the animal is only following his/her bloody instincts. If farmers are having a problem with the animal eating the livestock, either keep the livestock locked tight in a barn or find another area to raise the livestock. Whew. Made my point, eh? Of course, people tell me off because my focus is mainly on wolves. "What about the other animals that suffer these incidents, like bears or cougars?" I'm not forgetting the others. Heck no. I just keep reading about the same problem about wolves over and over and over. Plus, as you guys probably know already, I love wolves, so of COURSE my main concern is going be be towards wolves. You know how I answer their question? It's the same bloody example. INSTINCTS!

Now, to get to the next topic on the agenda.

I understand what you were trying to get with your argument by posting the video, Lugia, but the video you posted is a little bit violent for the faint-hearted and sensitive people to watch. We may not know it, but an eight-year-old might be checking out this board, though I don't have any evidence, but you may see the point I'm trying to make. The video is horrible, I admit. I don't know how anyone can get a chuckle out of it. Please be careful what kind of videos you post next time, alright?

[Greasy]

Yes, that´s right.
This is a childfriendly homepage and we all know wat cruelty to animals means, and you are shoing this consequent in these videos.
I think we can talk about this, but we shoudn´t confront others with that to hard.

[Greasy]

Spikey is right!

[wifeofsmartass]

Unknown, i agree with you a hundred percent about your argument with the wolves and other such carnivores! You are not the only one who is ridiculed in the fight for animal rights!

[The Unknown]

To wifeofsmartass: Why, thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one with arguements about it!

To greasysalvador and Spikey: Thank you for understanding. I just don't want people to be disturbed by gruesome videos. It's many years too late for me, that's for sure. I just don't want the same to happen to other innocent children. Once again, thank you.

EDIT: The video is still up. D=

[Greasy]

it´s my opinion.
I´m happy if I´m right, or somebody agrees with me.
