Hunting Title-thing

In response to Skyla - full post here

I think I agree with your post. I think that hunting, in almost every circumstance an an unethical thing to do. I'm not certain about my stance on hunting over-populated animals like deer, given that deer are dying from diseases caused by the fact that they are over-populated.

The best solution, I think, is to find another way to reduce the population. Though I suppose that while hunting them may be unethical, though I am not entirely sold on this idea yet, I think it is less unethical than letting them die from those diseases. It would have been better to not kill all of the natural predators of deer.

Also, while I would, in general, prefer that people not hunt animals given that they can get by without killing animals, I do not think that I would consider it unethical to hunt provided that people put themselves in a situation that is fair. I think if one put oneself in a situation where one had to fend for oneself in the wild and was dependent on the hunting of animals in a fair environment (no fences), I may not consider that unethical.
