Comments are disabled on my stamps because either you agree with the stamp or not. I don't care enough to get comments constantly about how awful of a person I am because "inosent animulz" are killed. Please do not comment on my profile, note me, or anything else. I honestly don't care to hear other opinions.

After browsing around through dA stamps, (always a fun journey) I found quite a few people comparing the dumbest things. One of them was on a Pro-Lifer stamp (Good laughs there anyway) and was along the lines of "Hunting does all of these things, but I don't see you mentioning that. Killing animals constitutes murder too. If killing a developing sea-creature is wrong, hunting and killing innocent animals is too."

May I just point out... Hunting is equivalent to abortion? Well, that just brings me to the main point of this.

Hunting, period, is only humans taking their place in the food chain- AKA, natural.
Hunting is humans killing animals, who are lower on the food chain than us. Just because we don't eat it right away, or use our modern technologies (i.e. guns, traps, etc.) doesn't change that fact. In fact, humans hunting compared to animals hunting is much more humane and easy on the prey.

If hunting is wrong for humans, when it's usually quick and painless for the target, then shouldn't wild animals hunting be wrong too? Go to YouTube, or any video site, find a video of a lion hunting. Or a 'precious' wolf. Then go and find a human hunting. Then say which is gruesome and "wrong."

Before anyone gets me wrong, no, I'm not saying that wild animals hunting is wrong.

Compare the pros of wild animals hunting to a human hunting, they're very comparable.

Wild animals hunt only for food.
Actually, no. There are certain animals who have been known to hunt for dominance, and even for entertainment. It happens more than people acknowledge. A roaming male lion, if he comes across a mother lioness alone with her cubs, will kill the cubs so the mother is willing to reproduce. An average housecat will hunt down and kill mice for fun.
Although, many hunters will actually take their kill home to eat. Most- if not all- hunters I have met eat their kills more often than not.

Wild animals hunt and help the ecosystem maintain a balance.
Anything can do that. If it can kill, it can help maintain the ecosystem. The biggest impact that people hate to acknowledge is that both wild animals and humans hunt, and therefore stop overpopulation. The danger of extinction is much, much less with hunting than it is with overpopulation.

Humans cause animals to go extinct.
This has to be the biggest misconception ever. Scientists approximate that up to 4 billion species have lived, and gone extinct on Earth. Most of them through disease, genetic obsolescence, natural disasters, or a number of other reasons. Species on Earth go extinct all the time, it's a natural thing. Humans are self-righteous and selfish in the attempts to save and/or bring the species back.

Wild animals don't let any of it go to waste.
Yeah, I've actually seen people say this.
A wild lion will hunt down and kill a zebra, eat what they want, and walk away from it. Unless it's a huge pride/pack/group of predators, it's very likely that the carcass will rot. Most hunters eat the meat of what they catch- and sell or use the pelt/bones. Bone crafts have to come from somewhere. So do pelts. Which is another misconception that all real fur pelts come from cruel farms that breed/raise animals solely for pelts.

Long story short, while people don't like to consider us animals, we are still part of nature. Every living thing is a part of the food chain, including us. Trying to remove us from that equation would end in a disaster.

I'm not a hunter, nor do I want to hunt. Simply because it's not my type of sport. But I have nothing against hunting, to each his own.
