I've never hunted, mostly because no one in my family does, so no oppritunity to learn. I'd like to someday, though. Especially if I end up living in the country. I consider it better than farming because the animal can live a natural life. (Only if the hunter is responsible about it and doesn't leave injured animals wandering arround and such.)

Agreed. And somewhat cruel.

I would never, unless forced to, hunt a wolf. Ever. However, if given the chance, I would love to try my hand at game animals and birds.

EDIT: Plus, I do not believe hunting as cruel. Its pretty much as natural as living and breathing. It is only cruel if one leaves an animal to suffer for a long time, but even so in the end it is still natural. My opinion, of course.

Ok, point taken. If I absolutely had to, I would hunt for food alone. It is a huge part of nature as well, and I can accept that. But I feel that hunting as a sport alone is completely unnecessary.

To me, sport hunting is low. In nature, one needs to use all parts of an animal to respect it. If you hunt only to show it off in a degrading manner, then...well...I can't swear. Drawingdragon, I admit that you hunting wolves makes me uncomfortable, for deeper reasons.


For a previous post, wolf hunting is illegal in some provinces in Canada. I don't think it is in the northern regions and Alaska. Palin, go die. Nuff said.

I think that it's alright to hunt for food, like, say, predators in the wild do, but I don't approve of hunting for sport.
Didn't Palin resign? I thought I heard that on the news.

Yes, but prior to that, she encouraged wolf-hunting. :c

Why are wolves so much more special than birds or moose?

I have my reasons, but from an overall standpoint...they really aren't.

Killing a wolf, or a lion, or a bear is different to hunting for meat. You don't need to kill it, so what is the point? Especially if their numbers are already low.
I don't agree with hunting in any form, except for survival.
It's not because they are more special than any other animal- it is simply that it is a waste of life because there is no need to kill them. Meat is readily available from everywhere. You don't need to kill a wolf to survive, so it becomes a trophy kill, and that is what so many people disagree with. It's a pointless kill.

Just my oppinion :3
