Do you hunt or not? If so deer or moose?

[Alkaz]

We have a bloke at work who controls the amount of foxes on the golf course so not to ruin it. He has a contract with a consortium that own over 50 golf courses in the UK and he recently went to the Highlands to maintain the deer levels at one course that had a problem. He gave a deer to our head chef who gave us some.

I'd never actively go out to hunt but I did have some of the meat and it was quite nice.

Question for those against hunting.

In the countryside, specifically the British one which is highly managed, due to the lack of predators such as bears and wolves it means the likes of deer will often starve to death as they overpopulate. Is it preferable to those who dislike hunting that the deer starve to death, a most grim way to die with suffering, or that they are hunted and actually made some use of with their meat, bones, antlers and so on?

I apply the same question to polar bears, grisly bears, wolves, foxes etc. I'd be interested to hear an explanation because to me it's straight-forward.

I hunt for sport (though not recently) and cook/eat the meat. Not deer or moose though, pheasants, rabbits, that sort of thing. It's not NECESSARY in a sense that I could buy food just as easily, but it's necessary to fill my leisure time. Wonder what u vehement anti hunters' stance on fishing is? Is that disgusting too?

To kill fish for sport / fun I see just as bad and have the same opinions as previously mentioned.

Also just to add - I'm not a vegetarian myself, but I find it ludicrous if a person claims to be a vegetarian yet they still eat fish.

Let nature take its path. To be honest, the only thing that pisses me off is when people take photos next to whatever they have killed holding some huge gun; not even impressive killing something with a gun. Do it without a gun and I'll be slightly more impressed :rolleyes:

Stupid comment to make - you can easily be against hunting for sport but still be happy to eat meat.
