I read this story today ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45880501 ) and i was just wondering what the take is of people who are more into that kind of thing (hunting in general, that is)
I personally have never been hunting, but im not opposed to the idea in general at all, in fact, i think I would probably quite enjoy it and as long as the Animal I hunted wasnt in any pain and it was treated with respect (you know, apart from actually killing it in the first place ) I have no issue with the practice in general, In fact I can see the sense of fulfilment in hunting your own food, for example. I could go Hunting in England if i wanted to, though they tend to be part of organised events, rather than the stereotypical stalking through the Forests, its just never been something thats been high on my list of things to do.
However, there is a part of the practice which annoys me and that is entitled people going off to Africa (usually) and hunting down endangered Animals like Lions and Leopards and Elephants or whatever, posing with their "Trophy" as if its some kind of achievement to hit an Animal the size of a Car that doesnt know whats coming and then laughing about it with their friends.
I was just wondering what the opinion is of people in a country where Hunting is more ingrained to their nature?
