Hunting My Personal Opinion

By:Ryan Hohne

Many people have there own opinions about hunting, but personally my opinion is that it does some good for our community. The reasons for this is that if hunting were abolished then animals of all kinds would be flooding into our cities and this would cause many problems and yes I know about the food chain, but the food chain itself surely cannot control the animal population. Abolishing hunting would also lead to more poaching because the animals would be illegal to hunt, but hunting is so popular that people would still continue to hunt no matter what the law is. Next not only does hunting help control animal population, but it helps man kind itself because if someone were to be in debt and had only enough to pay for the debt, but not for food they could save enough for a hunting tag and try his luck at something such as trapping because you wouldn't have to pay for any ammunition making it cheaper. If they were to get an animal they would have enough meat for about a week then they could work long enough to make money for some food to buy at the store.

Some reasons why people may not like hunting are

1. -They find it cruel
2. -They find it disturbing
3. -They don't like the fact of handling weapons
4. -They don't want to pay for the tags
5. -They don't want to pay for the hunting test

those are some of the reasons that make people hate hunting, but if you think about it it's not really that cruel because depending where you hit the animal the animal dies almost instantly, most of the time. While hunting can be disturbing when you gut the animal, which is a part that you must do, this disturbance can be overcome by putting your shirt over your nose so you don't smell it or if your with a partner you could get them to gut the animal. I know that handling weapons can be scary for some people, but it's a part of life weapons are used for many things even law enforcement uses them, but if you don't like them then there isn't much that you could do, but to get experience with weapons. Tags are a must you HAVE to have a tag to hunt for the price of the tag it's worth the experience of the outdoors.
