Animal hunting for sport?

[Sixchan]

Why is it all I hear as a cause of problems is: 'A big bad liberal did it and ran away.' or 'Its that conservative there, he did it!'

Can't people think of other reasons rather than pointing the finger?

" That said, I still don't see the 'sport' in it and would never use the term to describe it. "

That's your perogative. Just like I wont use the term 'Health Care' to describe a late term abortion.

That you dislike the idea is fine. that you refuse to participate in the 'sport' is fine. That you actively encourage others to your line of thinking is fine. But I believe that we should all be able to discuss issues such as this one without insults. Your admission of such was neither liberal, nor conservative. It was adult. Kudos, there seems to be a shortage of such behavior on discussion boards in general.

hey guys just to clear up a bit of misunderstanding lets define hunting for sport
Heres how it seems most of the hunters
Its going after and shooting then taking home and useing (eating wearing etc)

Heres how most of those against hunting for sport define sport
shooting and leaving the kill behind is hunting for sport

most people agree that pest control is ok

Another thing when making these posts is that you've got to rembember that other peoples countrys are different to yours and where people hunt may be quite different to where people in your country hunt. Keep this in mind.

My view I use the first definition
We quite often go shooting its always for sport it and sometimes for pestcontrol/disease (rabbits they eat our crops and grass, possums where we live possums spread tb, seagulls these spread another disease that makes cows abort, magpies heres so many and are a nusiance some times attack people uprovoked to, ducks sometimes come in here to they sometimes eat crops etc) we do not eat these. When we go out the back to our friends and they have wild dear we shoot those and eat them This give us some different meat (we dont normaly have venison)
Duck shoot I class as sport I think its ok becuase its culling and our licence fee goes to improving the ponds and environment that they live in (some thing to note before we started duckshooting my dad wouldn't have wasted time or money building a pond or helping build a special place for the ducks to live but now hes built a pond with trees around. I believe that duck shooting is a challenge because they arn't as easy to shoot as they look even with a 5 shot semi auto.(here in NZ we arn't allowed to shoot the duck till they are in the air) in some ways it can be harder because you know you have 5 shots and you get trigger happy and fire before your correctly sighted in.

From what I have herd I have to say that I'm not sure of fox hunting.

Would anyone like tell us what happens. Im curious
