hunting just "for fun" is barbaric, play a video game if you want to shoot something/someone for fun

But video games cause violence.

That kind of hunting is questionable, however, as long as a species is not endangered how can we control if the hunter eats their pray? Maybe they should give them to charity if they don't want to eat them (make sure charity is ready to recieve dead animals)... That will be good PR and it may emd up helping some people, many hunters woyld like this (assuming they hunt only for sports).



Don't like the idea of it at all. I love birds and often feed many wild birds in my backyard. I don't see why they would just hunt them for fun, it's cruel.

Muscovy Ducks, Mottled Ducks, Florida Wood Ducks, Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Crows, King Fisherman, Blue Herons, Great Egrets, Ibis, Limpkins, Osprey's, Hawks and many more birds come eat and swim in my pond.

It's amazing watching hawks dive and catch fish in my pond. For a while, no bird would go near. I figured out the problem real fast, a baby gator living in my pond was scaring away anything it couldn't eat. Got rid of it and they all came back.

I love the birds in Florida, ducks are my favorite.



I'm against hunting period



Most hunters I know seem to eat/sell /use their kills for fur, even if they do taxodermy the remnants. So I cant say I have an opinion of something I have never encountered.

There is a cardinal that taps on my for pretty much all day, every day from the beginning of Spring until Fall. So aggravating! Somebody can hunt it and I wouldn't mind.



If it's a pest or you're going to eat it: kill it. Otherwise I don't really see the attraction. Should it be illegal though? I honestly don't really care enough about birds to have an opinion. Unless their endangered species. Wiping out an entire species could affect ecosystems, which in turn could affect people, which is bad.



Against.



I can only justify it as a way of survival,I mean doing it for having a meal,if it's for personal amusement,it's very abhorrend...
I cannot imagine a human doing it just for having fun,I will vomit,it's so attrocious,who ever does it for that reason,should meet a psychologist or even a psychiatrist...Killing for pleasure,ugh!
It could also mean that he can easily do it to a human or generally lightly harm severely  a human....



If it's not endangered, why not?
