Personally, I choose to distinguish between hunting for survival/food and hunting for sport. Very few people in developed nations have to hunt to survive, but many still hunt for sport. I do not personally (ie, my personal opinion) think killing animals for sport to be "good karma". This is how I feel and I certainly concede that others are free to feel differently.

I also don't think shooting one's dog because they were careless with their firearm to be a "good karma" either...just my personal opinion again.

Here in the US, we don't have to shoot pheasants and partridge and wild turkey and deer that have been living in the woods naturally.

We can instead go to the store and buy chickens and turkeys and cows that have been bred to be so fat and grow so fast that they can't walk or function like their wild counterparts, and that live inside wallowing in their own filth, injected with antibiotics, and then killed on a conveyor belt after being crowded into areas/cages so small, that it is just accepted that some will die before making it to the killing floor anyhow.


Yea, hunting is the inhumane choice....

Unless you are a vegetarian, you can't comment on people who hunt and eat what they kill.

As for the dog, the idea of shooting the dog is just asinine, I think most people will agree on that.

I hunt with a gun for food, I hunt with a camera for sport ( and that is a whole  catagory or two harder to do  You don't need to get 20 feet away with a rifle. )  1 bullet, three months food is a heck of a lot more humane that the slaughter house described above. Personally i don't care what size the rack is or ( when it is legal to hunt antlerless animals ) if it even has a set of antlers.

It doesn't matter if it's a Gun, Power Tool, Utility Knife or a Toaster. HANDLE WITH CARE.

Agreed. At least a wild animal has a chance to escape a hunters bad aim or detect a hunter in the woods by scent or sound
but animals raised for food have no chance. What hurts wildlife more then a hunters gun is the destruction of habitat for urban development.

that's right, Ryegrog, and in fact, hunters contribute (whether voluntarily or through license and stamp fees) more money than almost any other group.

I was watching  a Gordon Ramsey  ( the chef with such a lovely tone and so calm )  programme ,Gordon was judging the best restaurants.. One restaurant in particular, the owner ( head chef ) spoke about making free meal for the hunters who bring their own kill / game  to their restaurant.. The chef will prepare it and  give them a free meal ..

I used to hunt small game but most farmers now days lease their lands to outfitters to deer hunt. Can't hunt anymore.
I miss rabbit hunting. Used to smother BBQ sauce on it and bake it. YUM YUM. Sorry Vegans.
