Huh, I thought I was very anti hunting but I actually understand it a lot better now! Farming animals is super unethical and hunting seems like a more humane alternative. It does seem a bit hypocritical to criticize hunting if you eat meat. Personally, I'm pescatarian so I don't eat red meat. I also don't think I could stomach killing an animal, but I respect hunters! I think being able to shoot a bow is super cool!

I feel like this thread isn't exactly going in the direction you intended, but I'm still going to say it... I always thought of hunting as a bad thing, killing innocent animals and stuff. But you put it in a whole new light, and you're right, hunting actually is far more humane than the horrible curcomstances that animals in factory farms are forced to suffer through, and thank you so much for explaining that.

Also, it's so cool that you do archery! I've always wanted to do it (not killing anything, but target practice and stuff) but I'm lazy and never got around to asking about it.  

Wow, I'm really glad that so many people now have a new view on hunting. It makes me feel so good when can help change people's minds about things I feel are important. Y'all are awesome, woo!

Just felt like saying that. 

I'm vegetarian, and I kinda morally disagree with hunting, but not nearly as much as I disagree with farm or factory raised animals. I do find hunting for food morally okay, but not for sport. For sport makes me so, so mad. Animal lives are no less precious than human lives, in my opinion. Really, if we could all just go back a bajillion years ago where we had to hunt for our own food, I think the world would be okay. In the meanwhile, I respect your opinion. I think it's okay for you to keep hunting, as long as you respect the animals. What I do not agree with is animals rasied to be killed that never get to live their lives. I'm glad you're hunting responsibly. Keep up the good work.

That's super cool, Nyx! My dad hunts, and I've gone with him a few times. He shot a deer a couple weeks ago, and I went with him to track it, but we lost the blood trail after a while- we looked for about two and a half hours. It's awesome that you bowhunt! It's so much harder. I used to practice with a bow, but I haven't in a while.

Also, I'd like to add that hunting is a very humane way to get food! I absolutely understand where people are coming from, but Nyx explained it very well. There are a lot of regulations around hunting, and it actually helps the deer by keeping the population down so they don't starve. Just my two cents!

I don't really appose hunting, as long as people don't hunt endaggered animals. I have a friend who hunts with her grandparents then eats the remains. I also don't feel that it is wrong as long as you use whatever you just hunted. If you eat the remains it is kind of the same as people killing animas on farms, exept you are the one who has to disect it. Hunting then throwing the food and carcass out is such a waist truthfully. I don't hunt but I do know how to use a bow and arrow, though the last time I practiced was about a year ago, so I probably have forgotten.
