Why should people not hunt?

Answer 1

Several Reasons Why People Hunt Out of Season

• There is More Game Available and Fewer Hunters with Whom to Compete
• Some people know only two seasons: Salt & Pepper. (An old folk saying referring to the seasonings Salt and Pepper)
• Hunting out of season is done for 3 primary reasons.

1. The first reason is for food.
2. The second reason is to obtain a "trophy". Sometimes someone will happen upon an extremely large, or trophy, animal and kill it; there are people who disagree with trophy hunting of any kind, at any time.
3. The third reason is what is called "thrill killing". Some people kill animals because it is 'fun", or even for no real reason at all. They generally leave the animal where it lands. Because most hunters are taught that what they kill, they eat, the practice of "thrill killing" is extremely disagreeable to them. However, some people believe that the number of individuals involved in the "thrill killing" category are very small and would constitute the sociopath and psychopath segment of such activity, and would correspond roughly with that segment of archers who get a perverse thrill each time they sink an arrow into bale of hay (or whichever target they prefer) and imagine it to be a live target.

• While it may be considered by some to be hunting, it is done out of season. It is poaching and it is against the law!Please don't think that lawful hunters do this, because it is done by outlaws.
• There is only one reason for anyone to poach: To feed their family. With the wide availability of food through food shelves, welfare and other such sources, there are actually very few people today who need to poach.

Mankind has hunted for food since creation. As time passed, people began cultivating fields for plant food and keeping livestock for animal food. So, there was less need to hunt animals because more animal food became available without having to hunt for it. Eventually, there was sufficient food available and hunting became a "sport" rather than a necessity. Hunting laws were established as this occurred (as well as to protect the depleted populations of game animals). Still though, many prefer to eat the meat of game rather than the meat of livestock.

Hunting out of season, hunting on another's property without permission to do so or hunting for animals protected by law is called "poaching". Poaching is illegal. Nearly all true "sportsmen" hunters abide by hunting laws and the established seasons for "harvesting" game. They despise poachers and do whatever they can to help law enforcement catch them. However, a small number of outlaws (poachers) continue to hunt when and where they please, regardless of the hunting laws and the consequences for violating those laws. Ironically, reformed poachers tend to become the best game wardens because they know the "tricks of the trade".

The poachers' primary defense for hunting out of season is that they need to do so in order to have food for themselves and their families. While this defense might actually have been true in the past, and might still be true in a small number of cases today, it is usually a false defense. Some people simply prefer to hunt rather than turn to alternative methods for obtaining food. Some do it for the sheer pleasure of killing animals.

Hunting out of season gives poachers more animals to hunt and little, or no, competition from other hunters.

In short, some poachers hunt out of season for food, but most poachers hunt out of season because of greed - or a mistaken idea that they somehow have the "right" to do so.

Answer 2

== == Since the animals are not attached to the land, they are considered a public resource. For the same reason, you are not allowed to dump toxic waste into a stream that runs through your property. Hunting out of season can screw up wildlife management and lead to a drastic lowering of animal populations. This would be destruction of a public natural resource, since people can't hunt animals that aren't there. By destroying a public natural resource you are not affecting only yourself, you affect everyone.

With this in mind, most states have provisions for out of season pest management. It is usually legal to hunt animals you catch in the act of destroying your crops or property.

Answer 3

In most places the animals that are hunted are abundant and the amount of the animals need to be thinned so a hunting season is allowed to help thin them. Also for recreation.

there are many reasons depending on what you hunt and where. Liscenses to hunt bear are rare because bears are rare. Deer are most active during fall so it is easier to get a good buck or doe. Also does are pregnant during most of the year and it wouldn't be good to bag a doe that has a young fawn in her womb. Another reason is this is the best time for the deer. Winter is coming and food will get scarce and many deer will die of starvation. The same thing applies to turkeys.

Answer 4

Because animals should live just like we do instead of making them look like fools hanging on someones wall scaring the socks off of people. Although we should only hunt animals for food and not display or most clothing. Although meat is a big part of food... we have many other foods containing more healthy choices and not involving killing a living creature.

Answer 5

People shouldn't hunt because its cruel, vile and sick. Whats so fun about taking a life of an innocent animal, i mean come on. Only heartless, careless people hunt and should die the same way the poor animal died! And theres comebacks like "theres an over population of the animal", when actually there isn't. It just seems like it because humans are over populating and taking away the animals home and altering nature. Hunting IMAO should be illegal, and people who do it, should die.

that's my opinion about hunting, i don't care what you think

Answer 6

People shouldn't hunt for animals because then if for example you hunt deers the wolf population would probably increase. Then that would result in that the wolves are overpopulating deers and we could be more likely to be attacked. Also when one predator, consumer, or anything of that gets destroyed the ecosystem in disturbed.

Answer 7

So the hunted animal has a period of time when it is not hunted, and its population may flourish, and so that the hunter has a period of time when he may hunt during a season when the killing of some of the animals will not seriously impair the flourishing of the population.

Basically so that the deer an reproduce and the population can grow.

Answer 8

There are some exceptions for different types of animals, but yes, in most places it has to be in season.

Yes, even if you are on private property you must stay within the law.
